Basic level of Russian language + test

Basic level of Russian language. 

This is the very interesting topic for me and I hope for you as well. The problem is that many many  people who learn Russian and already know 20 verbs and 100 words, who knows several cases in their main meanings  consider themselves to be at this A2 level. 

Why? I still don't know.

How to define your knowledge of Russian language? 

I think that the  best way to define your knowledge of Russian language  is to do the Russian language test.  
There are a lot of them, but there is only one certified test (like TOEFL or IELTS)   The results of this test you can use in any purpose- just for you, to apply to a university or in any other organisation.

This test is called TORFL - Test of Russian as a Foreign Language. In Russian we call this test TRKI (ТРКИ - тест русского языка как иностранного)  This test describes different stages of language mastery and creation of tests specifically designed to measure Russian language proficiency.
