B1 (Intermediate):
Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters, such as work, school, or leisure.
B2 (Upper Intermediate):
Can understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics.
C1 (Advanced):
Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize subtle differences in meaning.
C2 (Proficient):
Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read, and can synthesize information from different sources, even if they are not directly related, and can express ideas clearly and accurately.
