How B2 works
Each module opens with its vocabulary as flashcards, then grammar with tables and guided drills, a reading text with comprehension questions, a listening exercise, a writing task with instant feedback, speaking practice scored against a model, a conversation to work through line by line, and a quiz over the whole module. Finish 60% of a module and the next one unlocks; finish four and the level exam opens.
