Coming from an American lol
>tfw C1 certificate
do the british CAE, it's easy if you do the guides for it and it doesnt expires
>>56141215

>>56141375
Now you only need to learn how to write
>>56139271
did certificate of advanced english, business, and first
still talk como caveman
>>56141292
CAE and CPE, aren't that easy tbqh.
>>56143428
>CAE
>not piss easy
the only difficult part is speaking
>>56143428
lmao they are
>>56140280

>>56139271
Are you all jelly of someone who has spoke mostly english since they were 5?
>>56143582

did your parents tell you that you have down's syndrome?
>>56143503
>>56143476

>>56139271
>He didn't get C2 classes in high school.
>>56143762

>>56143754
>what is scottish gaelic
>>56143754
no, that's the age when he (Ahmed) and his parents moved to UK
What's the American equivalent of CEFR certifications?
>>56139271
c1 is standard with Abitur here (A-level)
My english is still shit tho.
>>56143762
proeficiency is legit hard though, mostly because of vocabulary
its better to have a Teachers and a CAE than a CAE and a CPE anyway
>>56144152
I don't think that Simplified English has any equivalents.
>>56144186
>proeficiency is legit hard though
it's not
i've passed it when i literally had no idea how to use literally
>>56144374
I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.
>>56144186
That's what I said, CPE is a bit tricky to pass.
What is Teachers?
>>56144639
>I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.
just proves my point that CPE is facile
>>56143515
That's b8
C1's English is French.
>>56144287
epic meme
>>56144374
>literally had no idea how to use literally
You obviously don't know english well enough to tell a good joke.
Make lots of your/you're mistakes like north americans
>>56143762
did you take any of them?
i was thinking about taking them when i was applying for some shit and needed an english certificate, but i pussied out and took the toefl
scored 119 on the toefl though, so now i'm thinking about taking the cae or cpe, because toefl expires after 2 years
>>56141292
>it doesnt expires
you passed the cae and you still fuck up the third person present tense?
>>56148621
I presume it's a b8
You guys all speak completely fluently on here. What more is there to learn when you understand the grammar fully and have a good vocab. Is this for a certificate?
>>56150716
this.
most people could care less if you're grammar isn't perfect.
>>56148621
I don't doublechek my grammar in 4chan dude
it's fucking 4chan
>>56139271
>>56143813
this, I got C2 classes in high school (FCE iirc) and like three years after I got C2 very easily
>>56150813
Do you even need a cert these days? If I just applied for a job in Russia and was confident and fluent, would they really ask to see papers? Can't I just claim my parents taught me and I'm bilingual? I have euro parents, so maybe I need an English cert as well even though I'm an Aussie
>>56150962
idk if it's the case in all western europe countries, but a friend of mine working in translation told me that in France they are quite picky on your diplomas : like, they don't care that you're a native speaker of any language unless you have a paper that prooves it
i just took that cpe test
i got 50/50 but wow that is a retarded test, they phrased all the questions as if it were spoken sentences and nobody speaks in such a way. for some of them i had to read 2 or 3 of the answers in my head to figure out which was the correct one.

in hungary it's the opposite. People usually are quite anal about the proper paperwork, but most corporations absolutely don't give a shit about papers, they only care whether you speak the language properly or not.
>>56151312
I know what you mean. How is "What with being so busy and all" grammatically correct? I know it's the most natural, but my English teacher would either kill me for using this in high school or amend it with awkward commas and semicolons.

You're not seriously implying that the link you posted is a serious mock test of an actual Cambridge CPE, do you?
>>56151662
*are you, duh
>>56151662
idk famm but in any case i hope you arent implying that i'd be familiar with what a formal vs informal english proficiency test would look like
>>56151662
>"It was the collapse of the dotcom boom that finally did _for_ him."
Do what for him? Make him collapse also? Help me understand this, America-kun. Isn't this sentence all fucked up?
>>56151914
idk maybe its technically correct but obviously youd say 'did it in for him'
>>56151914
Wouldn't "did it for him "be correct? Looks likr sloppyness to me.
Play video games with native speakers.
>>56152025
>>56152048
I would have said "did it" to remain neutral on what he did, but it wasn't an option. I didn't immediately get that he lost it or was discouraged, but its a sentence fragment that could be taken however you want.
I'm at 24/29 so far as a native and these questions are bullshit.
Got C2 on the tests when I went on exchange. Wasn't too difficult. Do as I did, watch a shitload of series/movies with or without English subs.
