That didn\u2019t mean that I suddenly spoke Spanish at an intermediate level just because the test said I did, but it did boost my confidence as my score got better.<br \/>\nI found several other language proficiency tests around the web, and decided to channel\u00a0my inner polyglot by trying them out in different languages.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Transparent Language Proficiency Tests<\/h2>\n<p>Transparentlanguage.com is serious about their language testing. They claim that U.S. government personnel, military, public libraries, universities, and business executives use their website for their language-learning needs. They also suggest that seriousness doesn\u2019t necessarily equal boring. Transparent Language has created proficiency tests in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transparent.com\/language-resources\/tests.html\">15 different languages<\/a>, and not necessarily in languages that you\u2019d expect. You have the choice of both Latin and Irish, for instance, which is quite unusual.<br \/>\nI decided to give their Swedish test a go since Danish (my native language) and Swedish are pretty similar.<br \/>\nThe test starts out with multiple choice grammar questions that are actually pretty hard. The next step is fill-in-the-blanks (you still have multiple-choice options here too). Finally, in the last part of the test, you read a text in your target language and get a couple of questions about the content of the text.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests.jpg\" alt=\"intermediate swedish language tests\" width=\"698\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests.jpg 912w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests-768x255.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Intermediate_Swedish-language-tests-600x199.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It turns out that I am intermediate in Swedish. I was a little disappointed by that mainly because I understand almost everything in Swedish. On the other hand, the tests on Transparent Language seemed somewhat difficult, so I\u2019m glad that I chose the Swedish proficiency test rather than the one in Spanish.<br \/>\nIt wasn\u2019t boring, but they\u2019re not kidding about being \u201cserious,\u201d so if you consider yourself an intermediate to advanced learner, you should definitely give them a try. If you are a newbie, get ready to challenge yourself or else stick to something lighter.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLn7iYKq-G3PLmzcM5OvFF2auJ4WUrxhuk\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176600605 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1-1024x288.jpg\" alt=\"Learn Spanish with the LingQ podcast\" width=\"870\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1-1024x288.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1-768x216.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1-600x169.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Spanish_Blog-Banner-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bridge Online Language Test<\/h2>\n<p>Foreignlanguagetest.com has made a really engaging online language test. Currently they only have 3 languages to choose from (English, Portuguese, and Spanish), and they give you 100 questions in 4 different sections (Listening Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Reading Comprehension). The test is timed, you have a maximum of 65 minutes, and I found it to be slightly stressful.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s a little avatar telling you what to do, which is both eerie (if you circle your cursor around its head, its eyes follow the cursor) and fun at the same time. I wanted to know what the avatar would say about my level of English, so that\u2019s the language I went for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bridge_online_language_tests-_English.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bridge_online_language_tests-_English.jpg\" alt=\"bridge online language proficiency tests\" width=\"700\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bridge_online_language_tests-_English.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bridge_online_language_tests-_English-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bridge_online_language_tests-_English-600x238.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Bridge Online Language Test is well-made and broad in that it covers a lot of ground, and it\u2019s professionally done. I recommend doing this test if you have the time to spare. It doesn\u2019t have to take 65 minutes, but it definitely takes more than 20. The only downside is that there are only three languages to choose from, and they might not be the ones you are interested in learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Comprehension-Language-Tests.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-532 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Comprehension-Language-Tests.jpg\" alt=\"Comprehension Language Proficiency Tests\" width=\"650\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Comprehension-Language-Tests.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Comprehension-Language-Tests-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Comprehension-Language-Tests-600x336.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Language Level Test<\/h2>\n<p>The test at languagelevel.com is almost the exact opposite of the Bridge Test in that they want you to do it very quickly. You get 15 questions that you are expected to answer in about 10 minutes. If it takes you longer than 10 minutes, it affects your score.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.languagelevel.com\/\">I did the test in Spanish<\/a>, in 12 minutes and 45 seconds. I wanted to see if other tests, like this one, would agree with LingQ that I am now at the Beginner 2 level, and it actually did. Yay! According to the website, being a Beginner 2 means you have:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cAn ability to deal with simple, straightforward information and begin to express oneself in familiar contexts. CAN take part in a routine conversation on simple predictable topics<\/em>.\u201d<br \/>\nThis test was a lot of fun to do. All the questions were multiple choice and there was a mix of grammar questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and (strangely enough) cultural questions. I got one question about whether or not it\u2019s customary to tip people in Spain. I had no idea and had to look it up, which affected my time, but at least I learned some general rules about tipping in Spain: Spanish people don\u2019t generally tip, but they do expect tourists to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-534 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result.jpg\" alt=\"Language proficiency tests level result\" width=\"939\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result.jpg 939w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result-768x303.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-Tests_Level_Result-600x237.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Sprach Caffe<\/h2>\n<p>On the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sprachcaffe.com\/english\/language-test.htm\"> British website Sprachcaffe<\/a>, which means \u201clanguage caf\u00e9,\u201d have seven language proficiency tests to choose from. I decided to give German a try.<br \/>\nThe test had 70 multiple choice questions and all were pretty easy to understand at my level of German. I got the gist of pretty much everything; however, a lot of them were grammar-related questions and that is not my strong point. The test took quite a while to complete (at least for me), but presumably you won\u2019t mind spending time on your target language.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Sprache-Caffe-Language-Tests.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-537 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Sprache-Caffe-Language-Tests.jpg\" alt=\"Sprache Caffe Language Proficiency Tests\" width=\"667\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Sprache-Caffe-Language-Tests.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Sprache-Caffe-Language-Tests-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Sprache-Caffe-Language-Tests-600x266.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It turns out I\u2019m an intermediate in German, which isn\u2019t too bad.
