Une sorte d’évaluation des compétences en lecture, écoute, parole et écriture peut être nécessaire pour guider le processus d’auto-étude dans l’apprentissage des langues. Peut-être pouvons-nous commencer à collecter les outils disponibles sur Internet pour la communauté?

Love your language level descriptions. So true. When you can watch and understand movies without subtitles, you really have accomplished something in a language.
Also important to note is that your A1-C2 level can differ between the skills of listening, writing, reading, and speaking. I have not seen any guidance on which to use in this situation, but like you, I tend to be more conservative and underestimate.

If anybody is interested, I’m an ACTFL certified Russian and Ukrainian oral proficiency tester. Done over a hundred OPI interviews. If you want to know your level we can have a 20-30 min conversation online and I can tell you your level according to ACTFL scale. This would not count as an official rating, of course (I need recertification every 5 years and I’m past my next one) but I do know the rating methodology.
Nice. Unfortunately, my Russian is not very good currently 
. But hopefully, I can at least be good enough to take the ACTFL or Test of Russian as a Foreign Language at some point in the future.
Thanks. For me, it’s all about speaking. I think the certifications measure all four skills. I don’t know if they adjust for understanding different accents. In Spanish, I’m fairly good with my understanding of Mexicans and non-native Spanish speakers. When I hear speakers from Spain and Argentina, I am mostly lost (but I’ve improved the last few weeks by listening to a lot of youtubers from Spain and Argentina, so there’s hope for me). I still can’t understand La Casa de Papel without subtitles.

That was really helpful, thanks! Looking at the self assessment chart made it easier for me to accept I’m mostly a B1 in Irish, especially after tonight’s conversation in my Iocal class.
