- Virtually everything heard or read with ease
- All spoken language at a fast native pace

According to the official CEFR guidelines, someone at the C2 level in English:
- Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.
- Can summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation.
- Can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in the most complex situations.
