Your level and stats

What does my level mean?

Your level is a band from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced). It describes what your ear can follow right now — not how good your English is overall. Many people read at B2 and listen at A2. That gap is exactly what ListenDaily trains.

We use your level to pick lessons that stretch your ear without drowning it. It is a tool for choosing practice, not a grade.

What is "first try"?

A sentence counts as first try when you type it correctly without any hints. Replaying the audio still counts — listening again is the work, not a shortcut.

Why does my level move?

Your level starts from the level you chose when you joined. As you practice, it becomes measured: each first-try result nudges it. Keep catching sentences at your level and it moves up. Struggle for a while and it eases down, so lessons stay catchable.

Only Practice (the library) moves your level and your accuracy, because those lessons are served at your level — fair evidence. Journey lessons train your ear but are never used to measure it.

Moving down is not failure. It means your next lessons will fit your ear better — and that is how it moves back up.
