B2 level: Advanced language skills for complex communication
B2 level: Advanced language skills for complex communication
The B2 level of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) marks a significant milestone in linguistic competence.
Through independent language use, learners at this language level are able to grasp the main content of complex texts on concrete and abstract topics. Furthermore, they can understand professional discussions in their field of specialisation.
Your communication is so spontaneous and fluent that it works well in normal conversations with native speakers without major difficulties on either side. You can express yourself clearly and in detail on a wide range of subjects, explain your opinion on current issues, and indicate the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
