If you're ready to take your fluency to the next level, Level 3 classes are for you. You should have been studying the target language for a while and be able to interact with other people to meet your basic everyday needs. You can express, ask about, and react to preferences, feelings, or opinions on familiar topics, and present personal information about your life and activities. You'll use simple sentences most of the time and can ask questions to keep the conversation on topic.

If you're able to have conversations with others but need more speaking practice, Level 4 classes are for you.

After completing account creation you’ll be dropped into the WebApp. From here you can start the placement test by launching your Homeroom from one of two locations:

After completing account creation from within the IMMERSE VR app in a Meta Quest headset, you’ll be dropped into your Homeroom.

After activating your account:

When you take the IMMERSE Placement Test, your language level is determined by a dynamic system that adapts as you answer questions. It's not about a single score at the end; it's about finding the level that’s the best fit for you.

You'll begin with a conversation and six multiple-choice questions at a B1 level. Based on how many you get right, the test will either send you to a more advanced conversation or a more foundational one.

This process of leveling up or down continues with each set of questions. The system analyzes your performance on a series of tasks to find the level that is the best fit for you. For example:

It’s important to remember that this test is in a multiple-choice format based on listening comprehension, which means your final score may not perfectly reflect your ability to speak spontaneously in a live class. Some learners feel they are placed at a higher level than their comfort level for speaking, while others feel they could handle a more advanced class.

This is a common limitation of any test that uses a written format to assess speaking ability. The good news is that your placement level is just a suggestion. For live classes, we encourage you to attend the level where you feel most comfortable and confident. Your learning path is all about you, and you can always go down or up a level to find what feels right.

If you opt out of the Placement Test and select your own level, you won't be able to take the test later. In this case, you should use the level descriptions provided to find your best fit, and try out lessons or classes at various levels. You can also take the Level Up Assessment for your chosen level to see if you're ready to advance.

Our current internal placement test, developed by our team of developers and education specialists, effectively assesses certain aspects of proficiency. However, it currently lacks the capability to evaluate speaking and writing skills. This is due to the absence of third-party tool integration that could leverage AI for speech and written analysis, as our team's capacity does not allow for individual learner evaluation. We are actively seeking solutions to enhance this feature, aiming to provide a more precise assessment of your overall fluency.

The Placement Test is your initial assessment, taken when you first sign up. Its primary goal is to establish your starting proficiency level by evaluating your listening comprehension. This test is a crucial part of the onboarding process, ensuring you're placed in the most suitable level for your current abilities.

The Level Up Assessment comes later in your learning journey, designed to confirm your readiness to advance to the next level. You'll be prompted on the Home tab and Learning Path to take this assessment after completing 80% of the lessons in your current level. It can also be taken at any point in your Profile. This test focuses on written comprehension and grammar, requiring you to answer questions related to the language you're learning.

Key Differences:

If you believe you've been assigned to the incorrect level during the Placement Test, you have the option to "Retry" the assessment. If you've already proceeded to your Homeroom, you can adjust your level manually in the Profile section. This article provides level descriptions to help you find the best fit, and you can explore lessons or classes across different levels.

We're actively working to make this available for our multilingual learners! However, at present, each account is limited to one placement test in the original language chosen during sign-up.
