Show answer
Correct: Каву і круасан
The customer asks for a sandwich, the staff says they have run out ("закінчилися") but offers fresh croissants, so he ends up with a coffee and a croissant. The Q2 distractors (dislike / price / an earlier plan) are never stated — the only reason is that the sandwiches are gone. The female-voiced staff and male-voiced customer both use pronoun-free, neutral present-tense forms, so no spoken reference clashes with the voices.

A: Перепрошую, я хотів би повернути цю сорочку. Купив позавчора, а вдома поміряв — замала. B: Обміняти на інший розмір можемо одразу. Але ви платили не карткою, а готівкою, тож повернути гроші готівкою досить складно. A: Я не хочу міняти розмір. Мені просто вже не подобається сам фасон. B: Тоді ми випишемо вам подарунковий сертифікат на ту саму суму. Ним можна скористатися будь-коли. Це єдине, що ми можемо зробити.
Чого клієнт хотів спочатку?
- 1Обміняти на інший розмір
- 2Повернути гроші готівкою
- 3Купити ще одну сорочку
- 4Поскаржитися на якість
Show answer
Correct: Повернути гроші готівкою
The male customer wants cash back, but a cash refund is difficult (he paid cash, not by card) and he refuses an exchange because he no longer likes the style, so the female staff member offers a same-value store-credit voucher ("сертифікат"). The cash- and card-refund options are exactly what is ruled out, and a size exchange is what he declined. The customer's masculine past ("купив", "поміряв") matches his male voice; the staff uses neutral present/future forms, so the gender labels match the voices.

A: Кажуть, той старий ринок таки вирішили не зносити, а відреставрувати. Схоже, цього разу вчинили розумно. B: Ну, це ще побачимо. Якщо знову переробимо його на торговий центр і залишимо старий фасад просто для краси, то краще вже знести. A: Не будьте такою песимісткою. У проєкті чорним по білому написано: культурний простір. Кажуть, там буде і бібліотека, і місце для зустрічей громади. B: Таке пишуть у будь-якому проспекті. Я повірю тоді, коли побачу не банер із логотипом забудовника, а день, коли двері справді відчиняться для мешканців.
Чому друга співрозмовниця не поділяє оптимізму першого?
- 1Бо вважає, що будівлю обов'язково треба знести
- 2Бо сумнівається, що обіцяне призначення справді втілять
- 3Бо вважає реставрацію надто дорогою
- 4Бо надає перевагу торговому центру перед культурним простором
Show answer
Correct: Бо сумнівається, що обіцяне призначення справді втілять
B is not against restoration as such; her 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 actually open to residents — signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. The female neighbour is addressed as "песимісткою / співрозмовниця" (feminine), matching her voice; the two speak in neutral present-tense forms, so nothing clashes with the voices.

Methodology
This Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian 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.
