About CEFR levels
At Lingoda, we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an international standard for language learning progress. It defines six levels, from Beginner (A1) and Elementary (A2) through Intermediate (B1, B2) to Advanced (C1). Each level builds on the one before, leading toward near-native fluency.

Frequently asked questions
Learn with a structured curriculum and live online classes at a discount on Lingoda Flex plans. Save 10% on the M plan, 20% on the L plan, and 30% on the XL plan on purchases made between August 25 and September 30 (until 10:00 a.m. CEST); the S plan is not included. The discount applies to your first two months only and is available exclusively to new students — anyone who hasn’t previously held an active Lingoda subscription (except for a free trial). This offer cannot be combined with other promotions.
You don’t have to take your classes in the order they’re laid out as each lesson is independent of the other. However, we recommend taking the orientation class at the beginning of the level to help guide you.
Once you have completed a level, all students receive a Lingoda certificate, verifying your accomplished skills. We structure our classes based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an internationally renowned standard that guides you from Absolute Beginner (A1) to Advanced (C1).
As a Lingoda student, you can download the class materials for free and use them at any time. After your class, you will also find a quiz to help you refresh and practice your new skills. For English and A1 German students, downloadable exercises are available as well. All materials are uniquely created by Lingoda experts to align with CEFR standards. If you want to learn more about CEFR, view here.
It depends. As is the case when learning any new skill, your progress depends on your efforts. If you would like to learn quickly, then we suggest that you make language learning a consistent habit. Also focus and participate in class and complete the downloadable materials at the end of each class for best results. It also depends on which of Lingoda’s online language courses you choose, as some of our plans are more intensive than others.
