When should you be satisfied with your English level?
Why are you learning English?
Does your level meet your needs?
What do you need to know most? For work, travel, pleasure, etc?
Should we ever stop learning?- No!!! Or else, you’ll forget things.
Are we happy with our Spanish level?
Reza is doing an official C2 Spanish language exam in a few weeks. He wants to have the certificate. He’s studying for it and realizes he’s forgotten a lot, especially about Subjunctives and Masculine/Feminine words that don’t end in _o/_a.

Tips
Record your Speaking on audio every few weeks. Ask yourself if you’re getting better. Compare the most recent recording with earlier ones. Are you more fluent; has your pronunciation improved; has your range of vocabulary and grammar structures increased; has your accuracy got better?

Keep old pieces of writing that you’ve done – emails, letters, textbook exercises, homework tasks, old exam answers (if possible). Have you improved?

Think about spelling, grammar, vocabulary and punctuation; but also style, appropriate register (formal/informal), linking expressions/connectors and organising your ideas logically into paragraphs/sections.

…and now it’s your turn to practise your English.
