CEFR is the standard framework used across Europe to describe language ability, from A1 (absolute beginner) to C2 (mastery). A1–B2 covers everyday communication through advanced fluency, and is what most visa, study, and work applications ask for.
If you've never studied German or only know a few words and phrases, start with A1. If you can already introduce yourself, order food, and handle basic present-tense conversations, try A2. The test itself will tell you if you guessed wrong.
