C1 (Advanced)
C1 is the advanced CEFR level, roughly IELTS band 7 to 8. At C1 you use English flexibly for academic, professional and social purposes, and you notice register, nuance and implication rather than just meaning. These lessons focus on the structures and word choices that separate a fluent speaker from an advanced one.
