Description

What is level B1?
Intermediate. If you’re already experienced in English, this level will allow you to strengthen
your ability to describe things and situations in the conditional and past tenses, develop your
writing skills, and improve your coherence.                                                                                           
                                                     
Level B1
Level B1 corresponds to independent users of the language, i.e. those who have the necessary
fluency to communicate without effort with native speakers. It is important to bear in mind
that the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) is the system that
defines and explains the different levels of oral and written expression and comprehension for
languages such as English.
