Para saber tu nivel, estudia los niveles abajo uno a uno. Los primeros están
en español porque se supone que son niveles bajos y que un alumno
no tendría que entenderlos. Si no entiendes el inglés en los
niveles superiores, igual no tienes ninguno de esos niveles.
De todas formas, este documento no puede servir como una prueba
definitiva de tú nivel. Para eso, mejor haz un examén
oficial.
Los otros códigos como "ALTE", "Breakthrough" y "A1" corresponden a otros Marcos para comparación.
Conocimientos correspondientes a cada nivel
