Past events, weekend plans, simple conversations. Step up from the basics.
Work discussions, news stories, travel experiences. True independence begins here.
Debates, technical topics, nuanced conversations. Training for fluency.
Lectures, negotiations, idiomatic speech. Effortless comprehension.
Native-level understanding. Subtle nuance, wordplay, complete comprehension.
