It is the first time I am learning this language. I have to familiarise myself and understand the basics of the language from the very start.

I can understand and use everyday expressions and very basic phrases. I have the ability to communicate if the person speaking does it slowly and clearly.

I can understand simple sentences and some common expressions. I can communicate on everyday topics. I can describe my immediate environment using basic language.

I can deal with most situations that may occur during a trip in an area where I have to communicate in the language. I can write simple and coherent texts on topics I consider interesting.

I can understand concrete and abstract ideas in more complex texts. I can express my views on a range of topics in depth.

I can use the language fluently in everyday situations, expressing myself in a structured and effective way on a range of complex topics.
