What you’ll learn in our C2 English Proficiency courses
C2 English practice is far less structured than prior levels. At this stage, you’re already comfortable with the language. You need to focus on details such as tempo, accuracy, and shades of meaning. As such, much of your learning will be about the language itself - analyzing different aspects of English to help you master it.
Some of the topics covered in our C2 level English program include:

Deep dives
Your English language proficiency is already beyond question - all that’s left is to add depth and nuance to your repertoire. This means using uncommon words such as “repertoire,” talking about the meaning behind ideas, and revealing shades of nuance in your communication.
When you learn a new topic, you should be able to effortlessly relay key ideas to others in your own words. Moreover, you should combine it with your own ideas and experiences, presenting novel perspectives and synthesizing ideas in creative ways.
In other words, your C2 English lessons will help build intuitive mastery of all aspects of language, focusing specifically on the clarity of your communication.

Learn about learning
C2 is a requirement for learners interested in a future teaching career. If you’re interested in teaching English or any academic or professional subject, you must understand the language on a meta-level to be effective.
This means learning how we learn and how to emphasize meaning. It’s also a chance to learn the history and evolution of the language if you’re curious about the linguistic side of English. However, your exact goals are your own - the lessons will aim to make you a better communicator first and foremost.
Luckily, our tutors are expert lifelong learners and can help you succeed on this journey. The C2 English course will include a lot of materials about effective communication.

Teach your gifts
We learn our best when we share knowledge and experiences with others. You’re already an expert in your field and personal life and can communicate with others at a relatively high level. This is your chance to improve and help others.
In other words, at C2, you should be comfortable expressing yourself to the point where you can teach others. When you’re 1x1 with your tutor, this means explaining the nuances of your profession as part of the exercise. If you’re in a group setting, it means helping other learners succeed.
Your C2 classes will present you with opportunities to learn by teaching others. Once you’re comfortable with that, you can pass any official certification.
Reviews from our learners
This is the second course of English. I liked it even more. The in-depth study of the topics that we took in the last course was quite successful. In general, it turned out to be interesting. In the last course, there were difficulties with the perception of audio exercises. Now we can conclude that there is no such problem anymore. I am very pleased with the teacher.

After completing the next stage of the Promova course, I have got new skills, increased my vocabulary, and fixed the rules I had passed earlier. It became easier to perceive the text by ear, and conversational skills appeared. I will continue to study further.

The course is mastered. Many thanks to the teacher for the training: everything was very interesting, although difficult. But thanks to her patience and the ability to explain, I learned everything. I still need to study at home but I can get there.

English language proficiency is an ambitious goal, especially if you’re just starting out. Furthermore, it’s not a requirement for most people. Suppose you only plan to work, study, travel, or live in English-speaking countries. In that case, your B2 or C1 proficiency will be enough to succeed. You might miss a few colloquial expressions or references, but it won’t hurt your experience.
However, you will want to achieve English Proficiency if you constantly interact with others and have a demanding job with a lot of teaching, leadership, or management. Naturally, even if you don’t plan on becoming a writer or motivational speaker, you can still benefit from a C2 course to improve your communication skills and become fluent.
At the English language C2 stage, you have native-like fluency. You can do anything that a native speaker raised with the language can. You can freely express your thoughts, work in demanding cognitive fields such as higher education or science, and convey abstract creative ideas.
Furthermore, you can understand speech without effort and speak English on the same level as your native tongue. Also, you can quickly switch between two (or more!) languages.
According to CEFR, C1 stands for the Advanced level, whereas C2 is the Proficient level. Both indicate a high level of mastery and effortless comprehension.
However, C2 takes these skills further and stands for native-like fluency. At C2, you can recognize complex shades of meaning and have little to no trouble with colloquialisms and idioms.
For example, a C2 speaker might use “chuckle” to describe a quiet laugh, “snicker” to show that it was scornful, or “giggle” to show that it was silly. In the same way they’re more likely to describe someone incredibly happy as “walking on air.” While a C1 speaker would understand all of these from context, they’re less likely to use them in daily conversation.
English C2 is the highest English proficiency level, meaning it’s the most difficult to achieve. In general, you can only get there if you live the life of a native speaker. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to move to an English-speaking country.
Put simply, you have to spend a lot of free time consuming English media, reading specialized literature, communicating with native speakers, and so on. Proficiency in English takes hundreds of hours to develop and only comes with practice and exposure.
Fluency is a subjective idea that means having no difficulties expressing your thoughts in a language. In other words, it’s a continuum - even as an A1 student, you can fluently express yourself on very familiar topics. So naturally, you may not feel fluent, but it’s true for some topics, some of the time.
Proficiency is a formal term that stands for the C2 level of language mastery according to CEFR. It effectively stands for native-like English language skills. Using the earlier definition of fluency, it means at C2 you’re fluent across almost all contexts and rarely face difficulties expressing yourself.
