C2 is near-native level. Learners can understand virtually everything they hear or read.

What a learner can usually do at C2

  • summarise information from different spoken and written sources
  • express themselves very fluently and precisely
  • distinguish and handle fine shades of meaning
  • adapt language flexibly to any academic or professional context

Example short sentences

Here are a few short German sentences that match the general difficulty of level C2.

  • Ich erwäge eine Alternative
  • Ich präzisiere den Ansatz
