## CEFR Reference
The Common European Framework of Reference breaks language ability into six levels:
| Level | Description | Rough milestone |
| :---- | :---------- | :-------------- |
| A1 | Beginner | Basic phrases, immediate needs |
| A2 | Elementary | Familiar topics, simple exchanges |
| B1 | Intermediate | Main points on familiar matters |
| B2 | Upper-intermediate | Complex text, fluent interaction |
| C1 | Advanced | Flexible, effective use |
| C2 | Mastery | Precision and nuance |
Self-assessment against these descriptors is more useful than test scores for tracking real comprehension progress.
