Advanced English vocabulary
I talked with a lot of native English-speaking people and I noticed that they don't usually use the words that I am studying nowadays in order to pass the C1 level exam. I think that a person with a level a bit over B2 level can understand pretty much everything, like 95%, of what a native speaker says in a typical conversation.
I mistakenly downloaded a C2 anki deck and studied some words and I think that I didn't see these words in any book I read and didn't hear anybody saying them. Maybe, it is a coincidence or I didn't study enough words, but I don't know, maybe the advanced level words are not used frequently by native speakers. The most useful expressions for me, are phrasal verbs, which most of them are learned at advanced levels, and I think are key to improve your level of English.
This isn't to say that studying for an advanced level isn't useful in order to improve your English.
I would like to become fluent in English as soon as possible, but I am looking for a "conversational fluency", I would like to be able to talk with English-speaking people with a very good accent, good level of English and without making mistakes in general.
So, when I have passed the C1, I think I should look for opportunities in order to move abroad to an English speaking country while studying by myself (of course), instead of studying in order to get to a C2 in exam terms, what do you think about?, that's just my opinion :).
