# Nivelo

> Nivelo is an honest, CEFR-aligned language-proficiency app for people learning Spanish or English. Take a free 5-minute adaptive test to find your real CEFR level (A1–C2) — measured, not inflated; no fake streaks. Aligned to the same framework DELE and Cambridge use (Nivelo is not an official certification body).
