THE FRENCH LANGUAGE
French (français) is today spoken in 54 countries by 76 million people as a native language, and by about 280 million people as a second or third language. Most native speakers of the language live in France, where the language originated, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland. French is an official language in 31 countries and is the official language of all United Nations agencies and a large number of international organisations.
THE GERMAN LANGUAGE
The German language (Deutsch) is a West Germanic language and one of the world's major languages. German is closely related to and classified alongside English and Dutch. Around the world, German is spoken by approximately 100 million native speakers and by about 80 million non-native speakers, and Standard German is widely taught in schools and universities worldwide.
THE GREEK LANGUAGE
Greek (ελληνική γλώσσα) is one of the earliest attested Indo-European languages (with fragmentary records in Mycenaean dating back to the 15th or 14th century BC), spoken today by 15-22 million people, mainly in Greece and Cyprus but also by minority and emigrant communities in numerous other countries.
THE HEBREW LANGUAGE
Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by more than seven million people in Israel and used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world. In Israel, it is the de facto language of the state and the people, as well as being one of the two official languages (together with Arabic), and it is spoken by the majority of the population. As a foreign language it is studied mostly by Jews and students of Judaism and Israel, archeologists and linguists specializing in the Middle East and its civilisations and by theologians.
THE HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE
Hungarian (magyar nyelv) is a Uralic language unrelated to most other languages in Europe. It is commonly considered to be one of the most difficult languages for speakers of English to learn well.
Hungarian is spoken in Hungary and by the Hungarian minorities in seven neighbouring countries. There are about 14.5 million native speakers, of whom 9.5-10 million live in modern-day Hungary.

Levels of excellence
Level 1 – equivalent to a basic GCSE
Linguistically similar to a lower GCSE grade (G-D). The user can command a range of simple, set expressions in familiar settings. Grammatical control is limited to a few variations. Work contacts involving highly predictable exchanges - certain reception/retail encounters could be handled, as could survival in a travel or accommodation situation where no unexpected problems are introduced.
Level 2 – equivalent to a higher grade GCSE
Linguistically similar to a higher GCSE grade (C-A*). The user can command a basic vocabulary with some alternative expressions to cope with routine situations. He/she can manipulate the language to generate original sentences using simple common structures and respond to occasional unpredictable interventions.
The user can socialise simply, describe their work and organisation and survive in the foreign country, coping with minor variations in the information handled. The user could undertake a straightforward business visit in which exchanges of factual information, simple opinion and uncomplicated transactions are all that is required.
Level 3 – equivalent to a good A-level
Linguistically similar to a good A Level pass. A user at this level could begin to function quite effectively even where the full work role was performed through the medium of the foreign language.
He/she would have the linguistic control to express and follow most ideas relevant to their work and negotiate simply, though he/she would still be in the process of acquiring work specific terminology and structures. The user could integrate with a foreign language speaking environment if colleagues made allowances.
Level 4 – equivalent to a good honours degree
Linguistically similar to a good honours degree. The user would have complete control over the language system and an almost complete command of terminology and structures, both generic and relevant to work place requirements.
With this level of competence he/she would be very quick to absorb new items into their repertoire and would be developing as a matter of course towards the highest linguistic level. He/she would be able to negotiate and interact sensitively in his/her work and most social situations. The user would be able to carry out convincingly most management and supervisory tasks through the foreign language.
