Understanding the Vin-Ter Levels
At Vin-Ter Language School, we utilize our own Vin-Ter Level System, which is designed to help learners clearly see their progress and connect each level to real-world communication goals.
Each level focuses on what you can actually do with the language — not just what you memorize.
Vin-Ter Level 1–2 (Basic Foundations)
The Vin-Ter Level 1–2 range represents our beginner students — those just starting their language journey. At this stage, you’ll build your first foundation: basic greetings, introductions, and everyday expressions.
You’ll begin to understand familiar phrases used in simple situations and practice short, memorized exchanges such as ordering food or giving personal details.
At this level, you can…
-
Use short, memorized phrases and high-frequency words.
-
Introduce yourself and ask/answer simple personal questions.
-
Use connectors like 'and' or 'then' to link ideas.

When you complete Level 2, you’ll be ready to interact in predictable, daily situations.
Vin-Ter Level 3–4 (Basic Communication)
Vin-Ter Level 3–4 learners can handle more variety in their conversations — still in familiar contexts, but with greater ease. You’ll start to connect phrases, describe your environment, and express needs or opinions in short sentences.

Vin-Ter Level 5–6 (Independent User)
At Vin-Ter Level 5–6, students are considered independent users. You can manage common interactions in work, travel, or school situations, and start expressing your thoughts and opinions using connected speech.

Give explanations and short opinions.
