If you need a certificate for school, work, or immigration, check the requirements from the official institution that will receive your result.

Vietnamese proficiency levels: A0, A1, A1+, early A2

A0 means you should begin with sounds, tones, and survival phrases. A1 means you can recognize common daily phrases. A1+ and early A2 mean you are ready for longer patterns, opinions, conditions, and short conversation tasks.
