So, what comes to mind when you think of C2 English?

• Maybe the completely unintelligible ramblings of a university professor
• An academic journal you're wading through for work
• Perhaps a linguistics conference where terms like ‘polysemy’ and ‘implicature’ are used naturally

Well… yes. That is C2.

But what about the language used at the pub? In the queue at Tesco. On a podcast. In a newspaper music review.

Here's the thing about C2 that no one really talks about: it's not rare, academic or impossibly fancy. It's just… English at the highest, most expressive level. It’s real, everyday, natural English used by native speakers all the time.

Unfortunately, many people have a completely inaccurate picture of what C2 is.

So I made you a video that breaks it all down with real examples so you get a better understanding of how C2 English actually sounds in the real world.
