How the test works
A ladder of levels
We start at A1 and move up while your answers are confident (at least 4 of 6). A beginner finishes in a few minutes; an advanced learner answers all 30 questions.
Three skills
Each level has 3 grammar questions, 2 vocabulary questions and a short reading text.
An honest result
An “I don’t know” button instead of guessing, and at the end every mistake is explained.
The rest with a teacher
Only a person can assess speaking, pronunciation and listening — in a live lesson with a teacher.
FAQ
Didn’t find your answer? Send us a request — we’ll tell you everything.
How long does the test take?
Usually 5–15 minutes. The test is adaptive: it ends as soon as the questions get too hard for you. There is no time limit.
Is the test free? Do I need to sign up?
The test is completely free with no sign-up. You see your result right after the last question, and your answers are not sent anywhere — they stay in your browser.
How accurate is the result?
The test gives an estimate of your Czech level on the CEFR scale (A1–C1) in grammar, vocabulary and reading. Only a teacher can assess speaking and listening, in a live lesson.
Is the test suitable for children?
The test is for teenagers aged 12 and over and for adults. Younger children’s level is best assessed through games with a teacher.
What should I do after the test?
Look through your mistakes: they show which topics to revise. If you’d like to study with a teacher, leave a request — your test result is added to it automatically.
Can I take the test again?
Yes, as many times as you like. If you close the page in the middle of the test, your progress is saved in your browser and you can continue where you left off.
What level of Czech do I need to live or study in Czechia?
Permanent residence in Czechia requires A2, citizenship requires B1, and university study in Czech usually requires B2. CCE certificates by CEFR level are issued by Charles University.
Is Czech easy to learn?
It’s easy to start if you speak Ukrainian or Russian: many words are similar. But watch out for false friends (čerstvý means fresh, not stale; pozor means attention, not shame), seven cases and verb aspect.
