False beginner

From Teflpedia

A false beginner is a beginner-level foreign language learner who previously attempted to learn the foreign language with a limited degree of success. Their language proficiency level is therefore a false level.


False beginners are often contrasted with absolute beginners who have no previous experience of learning the L2.
