Poziomy europejskie

European levels:

The levels of language command are classified by the Common European Framework which is an internationally recognised classification of exams and levels accepted by the Council of Europe. The system thoroughly defines the range of language skills which must be mastered by the learners of a language to be able to communicate in it, and to ensure that the communication is set properly in any given sociolinguistic context.

The levels classified by the system:

C2 Mastery
C1 EOP - Effective Operational Proficiency
B2 Vantage
B1 Threshold
A2 Waystage
A1 Breakthrough

Level 2 – Pre-intermediate

Put your finger in your ear!

Soon you won’t need an earpiece to answer your mobile phone. A Japanese company has invented a new mobile phone. You use your finger instead of an earpiece!

You wear the new phone on your wrist like a watch. To turn it on you press your finger and thumb together. To listen you put your finger in your ear! You end the call by pressing your thumb and finger together again.

There is no keypad either. To make a call, you speak into a microphone. You just say the number you want clearly. This amazing phone isn’t on the market yet but it will be quite soon. It is certainly going to be a great success!
