C1 Level English
The most effective way to reach the C1 level
The fact that your first experiences with the English language are now fond memories is proof of how quickly time passes and how far you’ve come on this learning path. As Shakespeare said, ‘The swiftest hours, as they flew’.
Thanks to your effort and dedication, you were able to successfully pass the basic levels and reach the summit of the intermediate ones. So, now that you’re at the upper intermediate level, you know that it’s time to keep moving forward to conquer the C1 level of English.
If your goal is to be a student that is definitely above average, don’t miss out on this opportunity to get to know the Smart Learning® method developed by ABA English, the digital English academy.
Would you like to conquer the C1 level of English?
Now that you’re at the upper intermediate level, you feel proud of yourself and know that you can get by without much difficulty in environments where your mother tongue isn’t spoken.
You may be wondering why you need to prepare for C1 level English when you have such a good command of the English language. The answer is simple: To make your level of English as good as that of a native speaker.
That’s why, if you want to express yourself more naturally, you need to get out of the traditional classroom setting and start experiencing English in real situations. This will allow you to perfect your pronunciation and begin to incorporate the famous idiomatic expressions.
Tips for reaching the C1 level
Sign up for a C1 English course
Remember that it must be specially designed for students with an excellent command of the English language. ABA English, for example, offers you different options based on the levels of the CEFR, such as the B2-C1 Advanced course or the C1 Business course.
Become a fan of ebooks
They’re an excellent resource when it comes to learning new terms and expressions. If you use the dictionary, you can find the definitions of the words you don’t know. You’ll also have the option to create a list to save and review these whenever you want.
Write formal documents
If you want to gain more confidence when writing, don’t just write text messages and short emails. Commit to advanced grammatical structures and let those words and idioms you spent so much time learning become part of your writing.
Runs meetings in English
You can gain fluency by using business English in meetings, either virtually or face-to-face. If you aren’t able to do this, you can practice writing emails where English is the protagonist.
