Testing your strength in a language

While taking care of our mobile phone plans here in the Netherlands, Tessa found out about Dialang. It is a EU-supported tool for checking on which level you can express yourself in 14 foreign languages. It can test your reading, writing, listening, grammar and your vocabulary.

We did the Swedish reading test (ofcourse) and found out we are at level B2! But I suspect we won't fare that well on the writing and listening tests, but we are working on that :-)

Have a look and test your favourite language. The site says it will only run under Windows, but it would not start :( It's a Java-program so I started it from the jar itself (the command can be found in the .exe).

PS. We tested Dutch as well, C2, the highest possible score. Pfew ;-)

PS2. We switched to ben so our phone numbers will remain in function when we come back in the Netherlands for a quick visit.
