In Bulgaria, the most widely recognized French exams are DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française), DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française), TCF (Test de Connaissance du Français), and TEF (Test d’Évaluation de Français). These certificates are accepted by universities, employers, and government institutions as official proof of French proficiency. For Bulgarians planning to study in France, Canada, or other French-speaking countries, DELF and DALF are often required for admission. TCF and TEF, on the other hand, are frequently used for immigration purposes, professional applications, or demonstrating language skills in the workplace. Holding one of these internationally recognized diplomas not only enhances your CV but also proves your ability to use French effectively in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.
French proficiency is commonly described using the CEFR framework (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), which is widely accepted across Europe, including Bulgaria. At Berlitz, we also use our own Berlitz Language Level system (1–10), which aligns closely with CEFR and provides a more detailed breakdown of skills. This makes it simple to track progress and set clear learning goals.
Here’s how the two systems compare, along with the functional abilities at each stage:
Berlitz Level 1 | CEFR A1
You can introduce yourself and ask simple questions (e.g., where someone lives, how they are, or what they like). You can answer such questions about yourself and take part in very simple conversations, provided the other person speaks slowly and repeats if necessary.
Berlitz Level 2 | CEFR A2.1
You can understand and communicate simple, everyday messages. You manage clear, basic information and short conversations, and describe routine activities at home or work. You can ask about and understand daily needs such as shopping, travel, or booking hotels.
Berlitz Level 3 | CEFR A2.2
You understand the gist of conversations on familiar topics in both social and work contexts. You can initiate, maintain, and end conversations, give basic professional instructions, raise problems and suggest solutions. You can also express agreement, disagreement, or complaints.
Berlitz Level 4 | CEFR A2.3
You can discuss familiar topics in more detail, make professional contacts, offer advice, and give suggestions. You can handle practical tasks like exchanging goods or canceling orders, and you’re able to write notes, short messages, or personal letters.
Berlitz Level 5 | CEFR B1.1
You can comfortably discuss a variety of everyday and workplace topics. You’re able to explain or describe processes, ask and answer work-related questions, and give general instructions. You feel at ease in familiar professional settings, for example discussing the quality of a product or service.
Berlitz Level 6 | CEFR B1.2
You can communicate effectively in most professional and personal contexts, find alternative ways to express yourself, and manage a variety of topics. You can take part in group discussions with native speakers, handle projects, share opinions, and manage longer calls or travel arrangements with ease.
Berlitz Level 7 | CEFR B1.3
You can clearly express and defend your views in discussions, understand idiomatic expressions, and manage challenging situations or disagreements. You can give presentations, summarize facts, and use the language accurately in complex work situations.
Berlitz Level 8 | CEFR B2.1
You can participate naturally in demanding conversations, both social and professional. At this level you are able to conduct meetings, give clear presentations, and express nuanced ideas confidently.
Berlitz Level 9 | CEFR B2.2
You communicate efficiently with varied audiences on both familiar and new topics. You can lead discussions and meetings, defend ideas with detailed arguments, and write professional documents (emails, reports, proposals) with accuracy and clarity.
Berlitz Level 10 | CEFR C1–C2
CEFR C1: You express yourself fluently and spontaneously, handle challenging texts with ease, and use language flexibly in both social and professional contexts. You can produce clear, well-structured communication, even on complex topics.
CEFR C2: Your command of the language is comparable to an educated native speaker. You understand virtually everything you read or hear, and you can produce precise, nuanced communication even in complex or specialized contexts.
This combined system makes it simple to identify your current level, track your progress, and set clear learning goals. In Bulgaria, both CEFR and Berlitz levels are widely recognized and help learners demonstrate their French proficiency to schools, employers, and international institutions.
The time it takes to reach fluency depends on several factors — your starting level, your goals, and the type of course you choose. At Berlitz, progress is measured in Berlitz Levels (1–10), which correspond to international CEFR standards (A1–C2). On average, learners can advance by one Berlitz level in a set number of lessons or weeks, depending on course intensity:
Overall, fluency is not achieved overnight — it’s a gradual process of building vocabulary, mastering grammar, and practicing communication. But with the right course intensity, it’s possible to make noticeable progress in weeks rather than years.
