Klarar sig nöjaktigt i alldagliga språksituationer i arbetslivet. Klarar av att förmedla ett budskap även om kommunikationen är långsam och inexakt och kan kräva ansträngning av bägge samtalsparterna.

Interaktionsförmåga: Klarar enkel kommunikation och kan ta initiativ i bekanta situationer. Behöver ibland stöd av samtalsparten.

Ordförråd: Behärskar det branschspecifika och allmänna ordförrådet nöjaktigt. Ordförrådets otillräcklighet samt felen i ordval begränsar kommunikationen. Förmågan att använda ersättande uttryck är bristfällig.

Strukturer: Använder enkla, vanliga grundkonstruktioner någorlunda rätt. Mera krävande konstruktioner vållar svårigheter.
