Do you actually know your English level?

Today, I'll be testing your

English listening from A1 to C2.

Each level will become more difficult.

The vocabulary will become more advanced.

The sentences will become longer and

the ideas will become more complex.

And I will slowly start speaking more

naturally and like a native English speaker.

So watch until the end, answer all the questions and watch

until the very end of the video

because that is where I will

explain each English level in detail

and what it means if you pass a certain level.

So here are the rules.

Rule one, do not use subtitles

the first time you watch this video.

Rule two, listen to each section.

And at the end of each section,

I will ask you three questions.

Do your best to answer these questions

and put your answers in the comments.

If you get two or three correct,

you probably understand that level.

If you get zero or one correct, then that level is probably

too difficult for you right now.

This is not an official English listening exam,

but it'll give you a good idea where

your English listening level is at.

So if you're ready, let's get started with A1.

This is A1 English. Listen carefully.

Hello, my name is Volka. I'm at home.

I am in my room. I am in my living room.

I have a phone. I have a chair. I have a desk.

Today, I am making a video. I am speaking English.

I am speaking slowly. I like

English. I like teaching English.

I want to help you. English is not easy, but you can learn.

Listen every day. Speak every day.

Little by little, your English gets better.

Now answer these three questions to

test your listening comprehension.

First question. Where am I?

Question two. What am I making?

Question three. What language am I speaking?

Here are the answers to these three questions.

If you got two or more correct, your

English level is probably A1 or higher.

Remember to stick around to the very

end to see what your English level means.

Now let's do the A2 listening test.

This is A2 English, so listen carefully.

Yesterday morning, I woke up at eight o'clock.

I was a little tired, so I made a cup of coffee.

After that, I checked my phone and answered some messages.

Then I went outside to buy food.

There is a small supermarket near my apartment.

I bought eggs, rice, chicken, and some fruit.

The supermarket was busy because

many people were shopping before lunch.

When I came home, I cooked a simple meal.

It was not amazing, but it was healthy.

Later, I cleaned my room, worked

on a video, and called a friend.

It was a normal day, but I felt

happy because I finished everything

I needed to do.

That was A2.

Now answer these three questions.

Question one, what time did I wake up?

Remember to leave your answers in the comments.

Question two, where did I go?

Question three, did I feel happy?

Here are the answers.

Question one, the answer was B, eight o'clock.

Question two, the answer was A, to a supermarket.

Question three, the answer was B,

because I finished everything I needed to do.

So if you got two or three correct,

then you probably understand this level.

And let's go on to the next one now.

Last year, I took a train to visit

a city I had never been to before.

At first, everything was fine.

I bought my ticket, found the right platform, and got on

the train without any problems.

But when I arrived, I realized I had made a small mistake.

I got off at the wrong station.

The names of the two stations were

similar, and I had not checked carefully.

For a few minutes, I felt stressed

because my phone battery was almost dead.

I needed to meet my friend at a

cafe, but I did not know where it was.

So I went into a small shop and asked the owner for help.

He was very kind.

He showed me the correct station on

a map and told me which bus to take.

I was 30 minutes late, but my friend was not angry.

Actually, she laughed and said, "At

least now you have a good travel story."

In the end, the mistake was annoying, but it taught me to

check station names more carefully.

Question 1. What mistake did I make?

Question 2. Why did I feel stressed?

Question 3. How did the shop owner help me?

Remember, you can pause the video if you

need more time to answer these questions.

Here are the answers to the three questions.

Remember, if you got 2 or 3 correct,

you probably understand this level.

Now, let's move on to B2 English.

And remember guys, to tell me what level you are at in the

comments once this whole test is finished.

Let's go.

Now, B2 English.

Remember to listen carefully and to tell

me what your English level is at the end.

A few months ago, I planned to go hiking with two friends.

The weather forecast said there

might be light rain in the afternoon,

but the morning looked clear, so we decided to go anyway.

At first, the hike was beautiful, the sky was grey, but the

air was fresh, and the trail was quiet.

After about an hour, however,

the weather started to change.

The wind became stronger, the clouds got darker, and we

heard thunder in the distance.

One of my friends wanted to keep going because we were

already close to the viewpoint,

but my other friend said it was better

to turn back before the storm got worse.

At first, I was disappointed

because I really wanted to reach the top.

But after a few minutes, the rain became extremely heavy,

and the trail became slippery.

That was when I realized

turning back was the right decision.

If we had continued, we might have

been stuck on the mountain during a storm.

Later, we found a small restaurant near

the trail and had lunch there instead.

The day did not go as planned, but it was still a good day

because we made a safe choice.

Sometimes changing your plan is not

failure, sometimes it's just common sense.

Now time for the three questions.

Why did we decide to go hiking at first?

Question two, why did one friend want to continue?

Question three, what is the main lesson of the story?

Here are the answers to all the questions.

If you got two or more correct, you

most likely understand this level.

Now, let's go to the advanced levels.

C1 and C2.

This is C1 English.

Social media is strange because it gives people the feeling

of connection while often making

them feel more alone.

You can open your phone and immediately

see what hundreds of people are doing.

Someone is traveling, someone is getting

married, someone is starting a business,

someone is posting a perfect breakfast that probably took

40 minutes to arrange and 5 seconds to eat.

At first, this can feel entertaining, but over time, it can

quietly change the way you see

your own life.

Normal moments start to feel boring, rest

starts to feel lazy, privacy starts to feel

like invisibility, and instead of asking,

"Did I enjoy this?" people start asking,

"Can I post this?"

The problem is not that social media is evil.

That would be too simple.

The real problem is that these platforms are usually

designed to keep your attention,

not necessarily to make you

happier, wiser, or more peaceful.

And when your attention becomes the product, your emotions

become part of the business model.

That does not mean everyone should

delete every app and go live in a forest,

although honestly, some people on the internet could

probably use a weekend outside.

It means we need to be more aware of

how these platforms shape our habits,

our confidence, and even our idea

of what a successful life looks like.

First question, according to the

passage, why is social media strange?

Question two, what do I mean by when

your attention becomes the product?

Question three, what is my attitude towards social media?

Here are the answers to those three questions.

If you got two or more right,

let's go on to the final level.

C2, the most advanced English level,

Now, C2 English. Most English

learners do not need this level,

so if you don't understand it

completely or at all, don't worry.

But if you do, then your listening

comprehension is extremely strong.

This is C2 English. Listen carefully.

Whenever a new technology

changes the way information moves,

people tend to have two opposite reactions.

One group says it will destroy society, the other says it

will solve almost everything.

History suggests that both sides are usually exaggerating.

When books become easier to produce,

more people could access knowledge,

but that did not magically make everyone wise.

When television became popular, people

could see the world from their living rooms,

but they could also be influenced

by whoever controlled the screen.

Now we are living through a similar shift with algorithms,

artificial intelligence, and personalized feeds.

The issue is not simply that information is available.

The issue is that information is selected, ranked,

shortened, framed, and delivered to us

before we even realize a choice has been made.

That creates a strange situation.

People feel more informed because they see more content,

but they may actually be seeing

a narrower version of reality.

Not because someone is always lying to them,

but because the system learns what keeps them watching.

Over time, that can make public conversation more

emotional, more reactive, and less patient.

Complicated problems start to look

simple, opponents start to look evil,

and uncertainty starts to look like weakness.

The real danger is not that technology thinks for us.

The real danger is that it

trains us to stop thinking slowly.

And slow thinking is where judgment,

humility, and real understanding usually begin.

First question, what does the speaker suggest about

people's reactions to new technology?

Question two, what is the main concern

about algorithms and personalized feeds?

Question three, what does the speaker mean by technology

trains us to stop thinking slowly?

Here are the answers to those three questions.

If you got two or more correct, then

your English comprehension is very good.

That means you could understand fast,

complex, and abstract English with layered ideas,

implied meaning, and native style phrasing.

Again guys, all the levels are only an estimate.

It's not exact, but it gives you a good idea where your

English level is currently at.

Now guys, time for your results.

If you pass level A1, you can understand

very basic English when it's slow and clear.

If you pass level A2, you can understand simple, everyday

English about familiar topics.

If you pass level B1, then you

can understand clear stories

and the main points of familiar situations.

If you pass level B2, you can

understand longer explanations,

reasons, consequences, and

opinions when the topic is not familiar.

If you pass C1, you can understand abstract ideas, implied

meaning, tone, attitude, and natural humor.

And if you pass C2, then your

comprehension is extremely strong.

You can understand complex, fast, and

native style English with little difficulty.

Now I want you guys to comment your results.
