Not sure where to begin in Transparent Language Online? Take a placement test!

Informal placement tests are available in 8 languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

The tests contain four parts:

  • a fill-in-the blank grammar section
  • an identify-the-mistake grammar section
  • a fill-in-the-blank vocabulary section
  • and a reading comprehension section

At the end of the test, you’ll immediately receive a percentage score and a level rating (beginner, intermediate, or advanced). You can also view or download a score breakdown to see how you performed on each individual question.

Based on your results, Transparent Language Online makes level-appropriate content recommendations, which you can add to your custom Learning Path and start learning right away!

You can retake the test any time to benchmark progress and get new content recommendations.
