Why?

You have the B1 level Congratulations!

How long will it take me to reach the B2 level?

It depends on: Your language learning background The intensity of your study Your age The amount of study/exposure outside of lesson times

200 guided learning hours: You need 200 guided learning hours: B2.1: 60 lessons:120 hours B2.2: 64 lessons: 128 hours

But this is not enough You needed 350-400 hours of practice /exposure to reach B1. Now you need 500-600 hours to reach B2.

Think of any English speaking child

A typical 6-year-old child in an English-speaking country is in school for an average of 6 hours per day. That’s 30 hours of English per week.

They watch cartoons or other TV shows for at least 2 hours a day, or 14 hours of English per week

They play video games or other games with their friends for 2 hours a day, another 14 hours of English a week.

I’m here to help you

We are going to work hand in had

Things you can do Read the newspaper in English on your mobile. Watch series in English Practice with a native speaker (face-to face or online). For instance: conversationexchange.com Improve your pronunciation by listening and repeating a text.
