Tips for Achieving a B2 to C2 level of English.

 


Mastering fluent English

Learning English is a continuous process and even at an advanced level, there's always something new to learn. Using your English daily will ensure you develop your advanced English and maintain your fluency. Whether you are selling your company’s products, negotiating a business deal, or hosting an event in English, set goals for yourself and use that as motivation to add value to your already fluent English.
  • Here is some advice for achieving and maintaining an advanced level and becoming fluent in English:

    Firstly, keep in mind that within the English language, there are many accents – American English, British English, Australian English, Indian English, etc. To improve your English fluency, challenge yourself by exposing yourself to a wide range of English accents. If possible, put yourself in social, academic or work situations where only English is spoken and do your best to pick up every word and every nuance.

    Immerse yourself in advanced English. Watch movies and TV and listen to podcasts and online radio from many different countries without subtitles. Make phone calls in English. Meet and spend time with English-speaking friends and colleagues. Jump into professional conversations rather than just sitting and passively listening.

    Listen carefully and try to get more than the basic meaning. If you listen carefully to fluent English speakers—to the way humor is expressed, to the way they share their frustrations—and start to tune in to the nuances used by those who know fluent English, you'll find your advanced English mastery broadening every day.

    There are many benefits to Reading in language learning, especially when you are trying to achieve a C1/C2 level of English. These include gains in reading and writing competence, oral and aural skills, vocabulary growth, and increases in motivation, self-esteem, and empathy. Students who read extensively also become more autonomous learners.

    Talk, talk, and then talk again

    First of all, you have to be realistic. To achieve a proficient level in English, you need hours and hours of work, learning, practice, and dedication every week, and that can’t happen overnight. 



    Practicing with real people is the most important way to practice, especially with native speakers as much as possible. This way, your conversation skills will reach a higher level and you won’t need to think about the conversations in advance, preparing yourself with phrases or expressions. They will come spontaneously and you will be ready for just about any situation that you encounter.

    Whilst this is not an option available to everyone, if possible, spending some time in an English-speaking country can only be an advantage. When you are on your own, you won’t have another choice but to speak English 24/7. When you are surrounded by English, it may seem a bit hard in the beginning, but as time goes by, you will easily overcome that obstacle, too.

    Concentrate on your writing.

    You should also work on your written English as this is one of the two extremely important skills of communication. Practice every week by writing sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Write a report about something important, start a blog about something that interests you or send grammatically correct messages or emails to friends, clients, or business associates.


    Take a rest when necessary

    There will be times when you will be so tired of learning that you won’t even be able to remember your own name and it will be obvious that you need a break.

    Taking one day off can give you the opportunity to rest and recharge your mental and physical batteries. Go for a walk, listen to music, or simply hang out and don’t think about anything.

    The next day, you will feel refreshed, brand new, and ready to practice again.

    You don’t need to study with the same intensity as you always do, you can learn English in many different ways like listening to podcasts, watching movies, playing games, etc. 

    Some people find the pronunciation pretty challenging, and tongue twisters are the best practice for them. They may seem like a piece of cake but you shouldn’t underestimate them as they are extremely helpful so don't be discouraged when you make a mistake because making mistakes can actually help to make you better.

    Well, the truth is that there are a hundred ways to improve your English, and these are just a few for you to consider. For me, the most important thing is that you find ways that you are comfortable with, and that makes the learning process fun and productive.

    I hope that you enjoyed this article and find it interesting.

    Good luck and good teaching/learning.
