CEFR · Mastery
C2 English.
Mastery.
C2 is not a finish line. It is a way of using English with precision, intent, and ease. You read between the lines, then write between them.
Free to start. No textbook. No streak shame.
What is C2?
C2, the mastery level.
Indistinguishable from a confident native, on a good day.
Who is it for?
C1 learners who write, present, negotiate, or perform in English and want every sentence to land exactly as they meant it.
What you can do at C2
- Understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.
- Summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments in a coherent presentation.
- Express yourself spontaneously, very fluently, and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning.
- Use idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms with full awareness of connotative levels.

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.
