Level A1 learners are able to use Japanese in basic and familiar communication situations. They can introduce themselves, share personal information such as hobbies, occupation, family, and simply describe objects or spaces such as their room. In addition, learners can understand and participate in everyday conversations such as shopping, asking for directions, asking for prices, or ordering food at a restaurant. Expressing simple emotions (joy, surprise, interest), or arranging an appointment are also within this scope of competence. A1 is the stage where learners are first introduced to using Japanese in predictable and repetitive environments.

At this level, learners extend their ability to communicate to more familiar topics such as interests, personal plans, and daily activities. They can carry out simple exchanges with friends, report absences, call to excuse being late, and ask questions when shopping or requesting services. They can also give directions, describe work experiences, and participate in social situations such as organizing parties and discussing travel plans. The ability to express wishes and requests also becomes clearer.

Learners at level B1 are able to communicate independently in a variety of situations. They can prepare and deliver a short presentation on a familiar topic, give their personal opinion, express agreement or disagreement in a class discussion, and retell the content of films, books and newspapers they have come across. They also know how to adjust their language according to the audience (polite - informal) and the social context. This level marks a clear maturity in speaking skills, expanding communication skills both in study and basic working environments.

At level B2, learners can express themselves clearly, in detail and effectively on abstract, technical or current topics. They can present their own views, giving reasons, arguments and counter-arguments convincingly. Learners begin to demonstrate more flexible control of the language, using a wide range of vocabulary and grammatical structures in social and professional interactions. They can participate actively in meetings, interviews and situations that require rapid processing of information, such as explaining a problem or negotiating.

At level C1, learners can use Japanese fluently, accurately and flexibly in academic and professional settings. They can express complex points of view with coherent arguments, and can control nuances of expression such as politeness, emotional expression and persuasiveness. Learners at this level can easily adapt to a wide range of audiences, process multi-dimensional information and maintain effective interactions in meetings, debates, negotiations and in-depth presentations.

C2 is the highest level in the CEFR assessment system, demonstrating the ability to use Japanese almost on par with educated native speakers. Learners at this level can understand and express accurately complex, subtle content in all communication situations, from academic, professional to social at a high level. They can participate in specialized discussions, write and present profound views with fluency, flexibility of style and semantic accuracy. In addition, learners are able to perceive and analyze nuances of language, metaphors, and implications, demonstrating a level of critical thinking and in-depth expression - commonly found in researchers, lecturers, managers or professionals who use Japanese as their main working tool.
