What is the C2 level of foreign language proficiency?

The C2 level is like speaking a foreign language as if it were your native one. For most people, this level is nearly impossible to achieve for various reasons. However, if you’re a teenager or in your twenties and spend 1–2 hours every day learning or practicing the foreign language, you have a real chance of reaching it. Even if you don’t speak exactly like someone born in the country of your target language, you still have a chance to pass a language exam confirming the C2 level. For English, this is the Cambridge English C2 Proficiency exam.

What should you do regularly to try to reach the C2 level?

• talk with someone in your target language for an hour a day,
• watch something in your target language for an hour a day,
• and write down any unfamiliar words as flashcards in this app.

What is the GoGetC2.com application used for?

The GoGetC2.com application is almost the same as a regular paper notebook. You need a place to write down unfamiliar words and review them from time to time—there’s no other way to memorize them. Of course, the best situation is when you have so much exposure to the foreign language that you frequently encounter new words and naturally remember them. But that’s not very likely.

For example, I knew the word “obituary” in English because I watched a TV series with that title two years ago. After that, I didn’t come across the word again for two years, because it’s so rare. The GoGetC2.com app will remind you of such rare words much sooner.

How this app differs from a paper notebook:

• It’s weightless and easy to use anywhere in the world. Sure, one notebook doesn’t weigh much, but if you collect twenty of them—each with 96 pages—you won’t be able to carry them around or review them all, because revising one notebook could take two hours.
• It gives you quick access to difficult words. When you have twenty notebooks filled with words, you don’t know where the less familiar ones are and where the easy ones are. After two years of watching TV in your target language, some words become easy, but they still sit in your notebook. That’s why keeping paper notebooks doesn’t make sense—everything needs to be digital.
• Each time you review your words, you can mark whether a word feels easier or harder, because that changes over time. What’s difficult today might be easy in two years, and something else might become difficult.

What exactly will I get on this website, and for how much?

The price is and will remain 1.50 USD per month, regardless of inflation or future market fluctuations. The first month is free, so you can see what’s available after logging into the service.

The website will have no ads.

It’s a very simple service consisting of basically three functions: Add flashcard, List of all your flashcards with statistics showing how many you have and how many are due for review today, Quiz, where you must choose the correct meaning of a word or sentence and mark whether it was difficult or not.

Essentially, you decide when you want to review each word again.

Regarding the payments mentioned above, you enter your debit or credit card details for the monthly subscription on an external service, not on our website, which ensures much greater security.

So this is a system for flashcards — but what exactly are they?

Anything you enter can become your flashcard. You just need to fill in two fields: the word and its meaning. It could be something simple like dog – perro, or more detailed, for example dog, The dog is sleeping on the sofa — perro. In short, a flashcard can be anything you decide to write down. You can get an example sentence containing the word dog using ChatGPT.

To hear the pronunciation of dog, simply double-click the word after installing the browser extension Ddict Translate: Translator – Dictionary (sometimes just called “Ddict”). Ddict is a browser extension used for translating and defining words directly on web pages. It mainly works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and other Chromium-based browsers, but it can also be installed in Mozilla Firefox. If you enable both options in the settings — Double click on word to translate and Auto pronounce/TTS — then when you double-click a word, a small window with the translation will appear, and if it’s a single word rather than a whole sentence, you’ll also hear its pronunciation through text-to-speech.
