    This document provides a comparison of language proficiency levels across several common frameworks used to evaluate English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese language skills. It outlines the key language abilities at each level, from basic greetings and shopping (A1) up through advanced academic and professional proficiency (C1 and C2). Common exams and scores are listed for each level to demonstrate equivalencies between frameworks. Language skills progress from social communication to active debate, presentation, and creative use of the language at higher levels. Employers and universities generally require level B2 or above to use a language in professional and academic contexts.
