I do not understand or speak any English.

I can understand a little and can speak a few words.

I understand quite well. I can speak in familiar situations. I can read simple English but find writing difficult.

I speak well but not fluently. I understand what is said to me and can read fairly well. I can write simple sentences but make mistakes.

I can understand almost everything that is said to me. I can speak confidently and my writing is quite good.

I make few mistakes and understand nearly everything. I communicate effectively in both spoken and written English.
