Before taking any course with The Portuguese Machine we can gauge your level to ensure that you get the most from your Portuguese tuition.
The Council of Europe has developed the Common European Framework which is used to gauge profiency:
Basic user: Students can communicate and understand basic everyday situations. E.g. giving and asking for personal information, ordering a meal etc. They can express themselves in the present, past and future.
Independent user: Students are able to express themselves accurately and fluently. They can understand and interact in complex conversations.
Proficient user: Students are able to communicate spontaneously using a variety of idioms and colloquial expressions in a natural way. They understand nearly everything they read or hear.
