What Makes C2 Different
C2 is the highest CEFR level. It is not simply correct grammar; it is the ability to understand almost everything, interpret subtle meaning, and express complex ideas naturally across demanding contexts.
- Recognize implicit meaning and author stance
- Choose precise vocabulary for tone and context
- Evaluate complex arguments with analytical control
- Switch register without losing clarity or impact
