 Our school in Rio de Janeiro offers courses to students of all language levels, from complete beginners to very advanced students. You will take a placement test that will determine your level. The test will help place you in one of the language levels described below:
To better respond to the individual needs and abilities of our students we offer 5 different levels.
- Beginner - The knowledge of a beginner student may range from knowing nothing of the language to having basic vocabulary and knowledge of some phrases, but being unable to communicate in the language.
- High-Beginner - At a high beginner level, a student can ask and respond to simple questions, ask for information, and relate basic biographical data. A student may understand the basics of a topic if it is familiar and visual aids are used.
- Intermediate - At this level, students are capable of managing the language within everyday situations that are predictable. They can talk about personal interests, have survival skills for travel, and can express and recognize some degree of opinion, attitude and mood within a limited conversation.
- High-Intermediate - At a high intermediate level, a student can manage the basic structures of the language, has a substantial vocabulary, and is confident within routine situations that arise socially, or while traveling. Users at this level can communicate about a substantial range of subjects, express opinions, and give detailed information.
- Advanced - An advanced student has a high degree of fluency and a comfortable use of language structure. Users are aware of the role that the language plays within the culture and can adapt their language use according to the situation. They can manage themselves easily within routine areas, can maintain lengthy casual conversations, and have a wide range of expressions.
