The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is a guideline and at the level scale for the languages developed by the Council of Europe. Scale level used to describe the level of knowledge and skills of language students in Europe and increasingly in other countries. The aim is to create a common European standard for different levels of language.

The scale is divided into three main levels, each with two sub-levels, a total of six different levels:
A – use of the language at the basic level
A1 – beginner level
A2 – elementary level

B – independent user
B1 – Intermediate
B2 – Upper Intermediate

C – use of the competent language
C1 – advanced level
C2 – language skills almost equal to mother tongue

The framework describes the level expected by the user of the language at different levels in reading, listening, conversational and writing skills.
