2. How to complete the self-checker

• You will check your “Can-do” level by listening to dialogues on 3 topics: “Family and Myself”, “Food”, and “Hobbies”.
• For each topic, you will listen to 5-6 short conversations from the A1 to B1 level, and then be asked to choose the highest level you understood.
• For the last topic, there is also an option to read 6 dialogues to check your reading level.
• If you can understand all or most of what is being said in a conversation, that means you “understand” that conversation and can choose that level in your answer.

• If you have the same level for all three topics, the next level up from this level will be suitable.
• If you have 2 of the same level and 1 different (lower) one, then the level you chose twice will be suitable.
• If you have 2 of the same level and 1 different (higher) one, the next level up from the one you chose twice will be suitable.
• If you have 3 different levels. then the middle level will be most suitable.
