English notebook. 3rd note.
Hello everyone.
I don't think it is correct to say "I know English perfectly"; since I started learning this language back when I was a kid, I often stumbled upon native Spanish speakers who thought their English skills were perfect. When someone says that, I try to talk to him/her in English to see his/her proficiency. I've found that most of the Spanish speakers I know who claim to speak a perfect English, don't do so. I think my language skills are constantly perfectible rather than perfect.
As I wrote in my italki bio, I would like to earn a schollarship to study in Japan. Kyushu University requires foreign students to score 92 or higher in the TOEFL in order to apply to any of its graduate programs. A 92+ TOEFL score is a C2 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, C2!!! C2 level is defined as "language mastery". I'm wondering, if native English speakers took the TOEFL, would they get C2 scores? I say this because I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I don't think I'm a "master" in Spanish, you know what I mean?
It scares me to think about not getting a C2 TOEFL score. Would you think that's a very tough deed? Or maybe I'm just overreacting? It would be great if you let me know your opinions and your advices.
Thanks for reading this.
