How it works
Register in 30 seconds
Name, email, company (optional), and the language you want to test. If you're an HR / L&D leader sending the link to a whole team, everyone auto-groups under your company in our admin.
Take 35 shuffled questions
The test mixes easier and harder questions in a random order so your brain has to switch gears — that's what gives us the sharpest read on your level. One question per screen, back/next navigation, ~15 minutes total.

What you get, delivered to your inbox
Your Exact Language Level
Not a vague "intermediate" — one specific level on a six-band scale (from complete beginner to advanced) that European employers, universities, and immigration authorities recognise.
Full PDF review
Every question, your answer, the correct answer, colour-coded, plus a level-by-level breakdown of where you're strong and where to focus.
Personalised 25-class quote
A worked programme quote based on your level — 25 classes × 1.5 hours × €55/hour = €2,062.50 for a 1-on-1, with small-group and team pricing shown side-by-side.
Optional booking link
If a programme fits, book a 15-minute team assessment directly with the CEO. If not, the results are simply yours to keep — no follow-up sales calls.
Why our placement test is different
Frequently asked questions
Is the placement test really free?
Yes — it's fully free with no credit card and no obligation. You'll get your exact language level, a full question-by-question PDF review, and a personalised programme quote by email. If a programme fits, great; if not, the results are yours to keep.
How long does the test take?
About 15 minutes. There are 35 questions covering everything from complete-beginner grammar up to advanced usage, presented in a mixed order so your brain has to actively switch between easier and harder items — that's what gives us the sharpest read on your level.
Which languages are supported?
Seven: English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese. Each language has its own 35-question bank designed and reviewed by native-speaking teachers on the JB Linguistics team.
What do I get when I finish?
Two things arrive in your inbox within about 30 seconds of submitting: (1) a summary email with your exact language level, strengths, focus areas, and a personalised 25-class quote; (2) a full PDF review that walks through every question, your answer, and the correct answer.
Is my data safe? What about GDPR?
Yes. JB Linguistics operates as a German GmbH, so your data is protected under EU Datenschutz / GDPR rules. Your test information is used only to send you your result and to help our team advise on a programme if you request one. It's never sold, shared with third parties, or made public.
Can HR / L&D leaders use this for their teams?
Absolutely — that's who this test was built for. If you send the link to a whole team, our admin dashboard auto-groups everyone under your company name so we can propose class clusters (e.g. "English upper-intermediate — 3 learners, German intermediate — 2 learners") without you having to organise a spreadsheet. Book a 15-minute team assessment to walk through your team's mix.
How is my language level measured?
You'll receive one specific language level on a six-band scale that runs from complete beginner all the way to advanced — the same internationally recognised scale European employers, universities, and immigration authorities use. It's much more useful than a vague "intermediate": it tells you exactly where you sit and what to focus on next.
