The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an internationally recognized standard describing language ability across six proficiency tiers: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. FIEZEL maps its 180 grammar lessons, 2,440 vocabulary items, 312 reading texts, speaking sessions, and listening banks to these CEFR levels so learners know precisely what difficulty to expect at each stage.

FIEZEL A1 Content: 17 grammar lessons (425 exercises), basic high-frequency vocabulary, simple reading dialogues, and foundational acoustic listening exercises.
What the learner can do: Understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (personal and family info, shopping, local geography, employment). Communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a direct exchange of information.

FIEZEL B1 Content: 52 grammar lessons (1,300 exercises) covering conditionals and passive voice, workplace vocabulary, and informational reading passages.
What the learner can do: Understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their field of specialization.
