Sample questions from the greek test
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: Καλημέρα! Τι θα θέλατε; B: Καλημέρα. Θα ήθελα ένα ψωμί ολικής, παρακαλώ. Έχετε φρέσκο; A: Το ολικής, δυστυχώς, τελείωσε. Έχει μείνει μόνο άσπρο, φρέσκο κι αυτό. B: Εντάξει, τότε θα πάρω το άσπρο κι ένα μπουκάλι γάλα.
Τι παίρνει τελικά ο πελάτης;
- 1Ψωμί ολικής και γάλα
- 2Άσπρο ψωμί και γάλα
- 3Μόνο ψωμί ολικής
- 4Άσπρο ψωμί και χυμό
Show answer
Correct: Άσπρο ψωμί και γάλα
The customer asks for wholemeal bread; the seller (η υπάλληλος, female, voice A) says it has run out ("τελείωσε") and offers white instead, so he ends up with white bread and milk. Q2 distractors (price / dislike / staleness) are never stated — the only reason is that the wholemeal is sold out. «ο πελάτης» + «αυτός» (masculine) match speaker B's male voice.

A: Καλησπέρα. Θέλω να επιστρέψω αυτό το πουκάμισο. Μου είναι μικρό και θα ήθελα να πάρω πίσω τα χρήματά μου. B: Αλλαγή, κανένα πρόβλημα. Όμως επιστροφή χρημάτων μπορώ να κάνω μόνο σε κάρτα, ενώ εσείς πληρώσατε με μετρητά. A: Ναι, αλλά δεν θέλω άλλο νούμερο. Απλώς δεν μου αρέσει. B: Σε αυτή την περίπτωση θα σας κόψω ένα πιστωτικό κουπόνι αντίστοιχης αξίας, να το ξοδέψετε όποτε θέλετε. Παραπάνω δεν μπορώ να κάνω.
Τι ήθελε αρχικά ο πελάτης;
- 1Να πάρει πίσω τα χρήματά του
- 2Να αλλάξει το πουκάμισο με άλλο νούμερο
- 3Να αγοράσει ένα δεύτερο πουκάμισο
- 4Να παραπονεθεί για την ποιότητα
Show answer
Correct: Να πάρει πίσω τα χρήματά του
The customer wants his money back, but refunds are only possible to a card and he paid in cash; he refuses an exchange, so the clerk offers a store-credit voucher ("πιστωτικό κουπόνι"). The cash-refund, card-refund and size-exchange options are exactly what is ruled out. «ο πελάτης» + «αυτός» match A's male voice; «η υπάλληλος» matches B's female voice.

A: Βλέπω πως την παλιά αγορά αποφάσισαν τελικά να την αποκαταστήσουν, αντί να την γκρεμίσουν. Επιτέλους κάτι έγινε σωστά, να σου πω. B: Ε, εξαρτάται τι θα στήσουν εκεί μέσα. Αν είναι να γίνει άλλο ένα εμπορικό κέντρο και η παλιά πρόσοψη να μείνει απλώς για τη βιτρίνα, τότε για μένα ας το γκρέμιζαν. A: Μην το βλέπεις έτσι. Στο έργο μιλάνε για πολιτιστικό χώρο — με βιβλιοθήκη και αίθουσες για τις τοπικές ομάδες. B: Αυτά τα γράφει κάθε φυλλάδιο. Θα το πιστέψω τη μέρα που θα δω ανοιχτές πόρτες, κι όχι έναν φράχτη με το λογότυπο του εργολάβου.
Γιατί ο Ομιλητής B δεν συμμερίζεται τον ενθουσιασμό του Ομιλητή A;
- 1Πιστεύει ότι το κτίριο θα έπρεπε ούτως ή άλλως να γκρεμιστεί
- 2Αμφιβάλλει αν η χρήση που υπόσχονται θα υλοποιηθεί πραγματικά
- 3Βρίσκει την αποκατάσταση υπερβολικά ακριβή
- 4Θα προτιμούσε μαγαζιά αντί για πολιτιστικό χώρο
Show answer
Correct: Αμφιβάλλει αν η χρήση που υπόσχονται θα υλοποιηθεί πραγματικά
Speaker B (female voice) is not against restoration per se; her worry is that the promised cultural use won't materialise (a mall behind a heritage façade). The closing line "θα το πιστέψω τη μέρα που θα δω ανοιχτές πόρτες" signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. B is referred to by the letter «ο Ομιλητής B» and the pronoun «αυτή», matching her female voice.

Methodology
This Greek 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 Greek 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.
