Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Dobrý den, co si dáte? B: Jednu kávu s mlékem, prosím. Máte i croissanty? A: Croissanty bohužel došly, ale máme čerstvé koláče. B: Dobře, tak tu kávu a dva koláče.
Co si nakonec host objedná?
- 1Kávu a croissanty
- 2Jenom kávu
- 3Kávu a koláče
- 4Čaj a koláče
Show answer
Correct: Kávu a koláče
The customer asks for a croissant, the waiter says they have run out ("croissanty došly") but offers fresh koláče, so they end up with coffee and koláče. Q2 distractors (dislike / price / original preference) are never stated — the only reason is that croissants have sold out.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Dobrý den, přišel jsem vrátit tuhle košili. Je mi malá a koupil jsem ji předevčírem. B: Výměna není problém, ale peníze vám můžu vrátit jen v případě, že to bylo placené kartou. Tohle je placené hotově. A: Rozumím, ale jiné číslo nechci, prostě se mi nelíbí. B: Tak vám můžu vystavit poukázku na tu částku a vy ji použijete, kdykoli budete chtít. To je jediné, co vám můžu nabídnout.
Co zákazník původně chtěl?
- 1Vyměnit košili za jinou velikost
- 2Aby mu vrátili peníze
- 3Koupit ještě jednu košili
- 4Stěžovat si na kvalitu zboží
Show answer
Correct: Aby mu vrátili peníze
The male customer wants cash back, but refunds are possible only on card payments and this was cash; he refuses an exchange, so the female clerk offers a store-credit voucher ("poukázka"). The cash-refund and card-refund options are exactly what is ruled out, and a size exchange is what he declined. The male-voiced customer ("koupil jsem", "přišel jsem") and female-voiced clerk ("prodavačka") match their voices.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Vidím, že tu starou tržnici nakonec zrekonstruují, místo aby ji zbourali. Aspoň jednou trefili správně, řekl bych. B: No, záleží na tom, k čemu. Jestli z ní udělají další obchoďák se starou fasádou jako ozdobou, to ať ji radši zbourají. A: Nebuď takový pesimista. V projektu se píše, že to bude kulturní prostor s knihovnou a sály pro místní spolky. B: To se vždycky píše po brožurách. Já tomu uvěřím ten den, kdy uvidím otevřené dveře, a ne plot s logem nějaké stavební firmy.
Proč B nesdílí nadšení mluvčího A?
- 1Domnívá se, že budovu je vždy lepší zbourat
- 2Pochybuje, že slíbené využití se opravdu naplní
- 3Myslí si, že rekonstrukce je příliš drahá
- 4Dává přednost obchodnímu centru před kulturním prostorem
Show answer
Correct: Pochybuje, že slíbené využití se opravdu naplní
B is not against restoration as such; the worry is that the promised cultural use will not materialise (a mall behind a heritage façade). Her closing line — believing it only when she sees the doors open — signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. Speakers are referred to by letter (A/B), so no gendered role noun clashes with the voices.

Methodology
This Czech listening test contains 15 items (3 at A1, 3 at A2, 3 at B1, 3 at B2, 3 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Czech listening test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
