    Dear Italki friends, I am looking for a language partner to practise Spanish. It can be a native speaker or a student of Spanish. I can offer English (B1/B2 level), German (B2) or Czech (advanced level). I am interested in regular practise.

    Hello,

    I think audio books can be very useful for learning a language. It is good to have a text, too. It is possible to use graded readers for learners of English. They are available from beginner´s level to advanced, accompanied by a CD. You can choose between American and British English. It offers many ways how to practise English. For example when somebody needs to develop listening skills , he or she can read a part of the text, next time it is possible to join reading and listening together and repeat it as many times as needed, then a learner tries to do a listening only. It is possible to build a confidenc in listening. We can use graded readers for developing other skills - speak or write about the text with our own words, learn new vocabulary, train pronunciation while reading aloud etc. There are many variations how to work with them.

    Tools for counting the number of concrete words in a text
    Hello everybody,

    I would like to ask you about tools useful for the text. When I have a text written in a foreign language in format .doc and .odt and need to count how many times appears in this text certain word is there some simple tool?

    I am a basic user and do not need to download some complicated and expensive software.

    Thank you.

    Dear italki members,


    thank you for your replies. It was helpful for me. CEFR doesn´t speak about  the real number of hours and real effort, it serves only for an orientation.

    I absolutely agree that we need more time to go from B2 level to C1 than from A1 to A2. According to CEFR the learners should need about 200 guided hours of study to move from one level to the another but it can be very individual and to achieve an advanced level I think we need more time and as Leon mentioned there should be included time when we repeat and prepare ourselves for the lessons with the teacher or tutor. In reality there can be more hours of study needed to achieve C1 level than it is mentioned in CEFR. I would like to exchange some ideas with learners how they worked with the language and also with teachers.

    According to CEFR (Common European Framework) is for C1 level necessary to study 700 - 800 learning hours from beginner level. When we want to move from one level to the another it should be about 200 hours of study which means to study approx. 4-5 hours every week. When we want to move from B2 to C1 it is more difficult than on lower levels. It can be also very individual depending  on our mother tongue (how much is a foreign language distant from or close to our mother tongue).
