[self-assessment] How can I estimate my level of fluency?

Wonder what we mean by "novice", "beginner", "pre-intermediate", or "intermediate-ish"?

Listen to and/or watch the following audio clips at each level. If you can recognize most (more than 5 out of 6) of the words and comprehend the rough meaning of most of the sentences in a sample, have a listen to clips at the next level. When you reach a level where nearly half of what's being said is not comprehensible to you, the previous level is probably the one at which you can learn most effectively.😉
