What is CEFR?
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is an international standard developed by the Council of Europe. It divides language proficiency into six main levels — A1 through C2 — each describing what a learner can understand and produce at that stage. It is used by language schools, employers, and universities worldwide to assess and compare language skills.
Lingocaf's structured curriculum stories are designed to build you through each level naturally, through immersive reading and listening — the way language has always been learned best.
