14 grammar/reading questions plus a listening, reading, speaking, and writing self-check give you a CEFR level (A1–C2). If you're unsure, just pick the closest answer. The level test takes about 7–8 minutes, and the habit diagnosis that follows takes another 5–7 minutes.
For each of listening, reading, speaking, and writing, pick what feels closest from two different angles. All of it feeds into your level.
This goes into the "group chat pledge" at the very end.
Think about how you usually do when watching English videos or conversations without subtitles.
① Overall comprehension
② When several people talk at once
Easy texts and hard texts don't always track together for everyone. Pick whatever feels closest to how you normally read.
① Overall comprehension
② When you hit a word you don't know
① Range of topics you can handle
② How much you hesitate while speaking
① Kinds of writing you can do
② How well you catch your own mistakes
Your result won't change either way.
This is where it really starts. A level isn't a conclusion, just a check-in — below is a concrete way to move forward from right here.
What you picked isn't a ceiling on your ability — it's today's starting line.
Want to track daily habits at this level? Your level goes straight into the English Planner, where study time turns into books on your shelf (Korean for now).
Open the English Planner →We'll build a plan that fits your level and the time you actually have. This part takes about 5–7 minutes.
Time when your hands are free — for reading, copying sentences, writing, speaking practice, anything.

This isn't about judging you. It's just a way to see whether your input and output are balanced right now. If you're not doing something, just leave it at 0.
This has nothing to do with your level. Answer honestly about how you feel right now, not how well you're doing.
① Do you enjoy it?
② Does it feel like a burden?
③ Do you understand why you're doing it?
Recommended ratio
This ratio (and the shelf:book ratio below) isn't an empirically validated exact figure — it's an approximation that visualizes the general principle that "the lower your level, the more input you need."
Your current ratio
Input splits into two things: Building the shelf (setting up grammar and sentence-structure frames) and Filling it with books (feeding in content).
Building the shelf — setting up "frames" like grammar and sentence structure. No matter how many good books (words, expressions) you have, without a shelf to put them on, they have nowhere to sit and quickly slip away.
Filling it with books — feeding content into a shelf that already exists. Reels, YouTube, podcasts, anything works. The format is completely open — the more you take in, the fuller the shelf gets.
If your shelf is still shaky, build the frame first. If it's already solid, filling it with as many varied books as possible pays off more — the idea of building the frame before filling in content is actually a fairly old observation in linguistics.
Shelf activity:
Try: any structured "English grammar course" on YouTube, or BBC Learning English – Grammar.
Book activity:
Try: VOA Learning English, BBC 6 Minute English, TED, Little Fox, or any podcast/YouTube channel you enjoy.
Recommended reading (our book club): Oxford Bookworms Series, or any beginner-friendly conversation phrasebook.
That said, producing output alone won't catch every mistake you can't notice yourself. Every so often, try getting feedback from a study partner or tutor too.
Short, frequent repetition sticks longer than cramming it all in at once.
You rarely notice your English improving day to day. So pick one of your current activities as a "fixed anchor" and just record it the same way each time.
For example, if you keep reading aloud through the same book and recording it, a month from now you'll hear how much more smoothly you chunk your sentences together. The one-line journal works the same way — a sentence you were nervous to write a month ago now comes out without a second thought.
On , pick one of these activities, save a record of it, and come back to it in a month.
The act of comparing past and present yourself and seeing your own growth is what keeps motivation going the longest.
