Pre-Intermediate
English Level A2-B1
At this level you can understand:
- Simple words and everyday phrases on familiar subjects, such as personal and family-related information, shopping, tourist attractions, and jobs.
- Students may interact during routine, daily chores which primarily call for brief, clear information sharing on subjects they are knowledgeable about.
- Able to use easy language to express their experience, history, surroundings, and immediate needs.
An A2 level of English is sufficient for tourism in an English-speaking country and socializing with English speakers, although to develop deeper friendships an A2 level is not adequate. An A2 level of English also allows for networking with English-speaking colleagues, but working in English is limited to very familiar topics at the A2 level. An A2 level of English is not sufficient for academic study or for consuming most English-language media (TV, movies, radio, magazines, etc.).
