Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - This is the most common way for language learners to identify their abilities. While there are official tests for several language, most references to the CEFR are self assessed. Here is a basic overview:
A0 (Beginner) - Reserved for absolute beginners at a language. One may know numerous useful words, phrases, and verbs, but cannot reasonably communicate with other speakers without assistance.
A1 / A2 (Elementary) - This level indicates a basic understanding of a language. One can express their immediate needs and wants, and can communicate in simple exchanges of information. In addition, breakthrough learners may hold a simple conversation with a patient and understanding person fluent in their language.
B1 / B2 (Independent) - This level indicates a level of understanding that allows one to communicate with their language in everyday life. One can understand most of the language commonly encountered in their daily lives, and can communicate simply in a wide variety of different topics. A B2 user of a language is considered the lower limit of a fluent speaker.
C1 / C2 (Proficient) - This level indicates a level of understanding that leads to easy communication and understanding of virtually everything heard and read. One can flexibly use the language and can express ideas for academic and professional purposes. Additionally, proficient users understand the subtle nuances of a language and implied meaning of statements.
N (Native) - This is a user's first language - the language that they were born speaking and is generally the language in which one can most naturally communicate in.
International Phonetic Alphabet - A standardized resource of phonetic notation used to help one with the pronunciation of any language.
