Cool MateCEFR · Upper Intermediate
B2 English.
Upper Intermediate.
B2 is the switch. Conversations move at native speed. Subtitles come off. The textbook English finally falls away.
Free to start. No textbook. No streak shame.
What is B2?
B2, the upper intermediate level.
Where you stop translating and start thinking in English.
Who is it for?
Comfortable B1 learners who want to work, study, and watch native content without the constant rewind.
What you can do at B2

- Produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects.

How it works
Built for the way memory actually works.
Learn the phrase the way it's actually said.
Every challenge is a 3 to 15 second cut from a real show, news clip, or talk. You hear the rhythm, the stress, and the face behind the words.
An algorithm that times every clip.
An invisible Leitner box runs in the background. Each word comes back at the moment you're about to forget it. Fifty years of memory research, one tap.
Native audio, full speed and slow.
Every word has full-speed and slow-mo native audio. Tap once to copy the pronunciation the way a native actually says it.
Twelve native languages.
Definitions, examples, and grammar notes translate into your native language. Switch any time.
