What is the level C2 in German?

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR or CEF for short) is a standardized guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe and beyond. At Deutschable, we follow these guidelines in all of our German classes, including level C2 in German. (Not sure about your level? Test it here now for free.)

How Does it Work?

These levels are classified as A1 for beginners, A2 for elementary, B1 for intermediate, B2 for upper intermediate, C1 as advanced, and C2 as mastery.

Deutschable, like many other language schools, splits these levels in half to accommodate students’ time and budget planning (e.g. level A1 is split into A1.1 and A1.2).

To start with level A1, you are expected to have no knowledge of German. This is the best framework to learn German for beginners.

What Does it Mean for You?

After completing level C2, you’ll be able to:

• understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning and express ideas fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
• use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.
• produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.
