Advanced Verbs (C1-C2) for Total English Fluency

- Hello, lovely students and welcome back

to English with Lucy.

Today, we are going to talk about advanced English.

Our focus today is on advanced C1, C2 level verbs.

If you incorporate these verbs

into your daily spoken English, you will impress people,

especially if you say them in a very natural nonchalant way.

Now some of you may be thinking, "What is C1?

"What is C2, which level should I be working towards?"

I've designed a level test that you can use

to measure which level you are working towards.

The test takes between 1 and 10 minutes

depending on your level.

The higher the level, the more questions we will give you.

It offers a really good indication

and it's completely free to take.

If you would like to take my free online level test

just click on the link in the description box.

You enter your name and your email address

and your result will be sent directly

to your email when you complete the test.

Something else that may help you is

that I have created a free PDF for this lesson.

It contains all 20 verbs that we're going to discuss today,

along with their definitions, pronunciation,

and lots of examples, and a quiz,

so you can put what you've learned into practise.
