What is my proficiency level after the course?

After having finished the Lingvano course of a specific Sign Language, you should have a proficiency level that can be described as follows:

Understanding

You can understand phrases and the highest frequency sign vocabulary related to areas of most immediate personal relevance (e.g. basic personal and family information, shopping, local area, employment). You can catch the main point in short, clear, simple messages and announcements.

Signing

You can use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms your family and other people, living conditions, your educational background and your present or most recent job.

Interaction

You can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics and activities. Even though you can't always keep the conversation going yourself, you are proficient enough to handle short social exchanges.

But remember: To get to that level, you have to sign yourself regularly (e.g. by using the mirror feature in our course). Additionally, you should practice interacting and communicating in the Sign Language you are learning with other – ideally native – signers.
