Hello and welcome to English Lessons with Kate!
2
In this video, I'm gonna show you a step -by -step plan to help
3
you move from an A2 level of English to a B2 level.
4
There is a big difference between these two levels, but don't worry!
5
I'll explain everything in simple steps so you can understand what to focus on.
6
First, let's find out where you are right now.
7
Have you ever taken an English test to check your level?
8
If not, don't worry.
9
In this video, you can follow along and see which level matches your skills.
10
Are you ready to get started?
11
Let's go!
12
Make sure to watch this video until the end
13
because I'll give you a full plan that you can start using right away.
14
First, let's talk about the six levels of language learning based on the CEFR scale.
15
Do you know them?
16
They are A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.
17
A1 is for beginners while C2 is for advanced learners who have mastered the language.
18
A1 and A2 are the basic levels, while C1 and C2 are the advanced ones.
19
In the US, moving from A2 to B2 is like going from level 2, high beginner, to level 4, high intermediate.
20
That's a big jump.
21
Now, when we think about your English skills, we focus on four main areas reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
22
Let's take a closer look at what A2 and B2 levels mean for each of these.
23
Ready?
24
Let's dive in.
25
Difference between A2 and B2 levels of English.
26
At the A2 level, you know around 1500 to 2000 words.
27
To reach B2, you'll need to expand your vocabulary to about 3000 to 4000 words.
28
In terms of listening, at A2 you can understand simple conversations about daily life.
29
For example, I live in a big house, I have a dog named Rex, and I work as a teacher.
30
At the B2 level, your listening skills improve a lot.
31
You can follow both casual and professional discussions.
32
For example, last week I attended a marketing workshop where the speaker explained strategies to boost online sales.
33
At this stage, you can also watch movies or TV shows without subtitles,
34
especially if they involve everyday language like comedies or dramas.
35
How comfortable are you right now with listening?
36
At the A2 level, your reading skills allow you to understand simple texts such as shopping lists or event invitations.
37
For example, you could read a short note like party starts at 6 pm bring your favorite snack.
38
At the B2 level, your reading improves significantly.
39
You can read and understand articles in magazines or blogs, as well as technical guides.
40
For instance, you might read a detailed article about tips for boosting productivity in remote work.
41
In terms of writing, At A2, you can handle basic tasks like sending short emails or leaving a note for a friend.
42
For example, Hi Anna, let's meet at the cafe at 3 p .m.
43
At B2, your writing becomes much more advanced.
44
You can write formal letters or detailed reports.
45
For example, Dear manager, I'm writing to provide an update on our recent project.
46
We've successfully completed the first phase and are on track to meet the deadline for the second phase by next month.
47
How do you feel about your reading and writing skills?
48
What's easier for you?
49
Please let me know in the comments.
50
At the A2 level, your speaking skills allow you to handle simple conversations,
51
ask basic questions, and share information about yourself.
52
For example, you might say, I like your jacket, where did you buy it?
53
Or my best friend loves reading books.
54
At the B2 level, your speaking becomes much more dynamic.
55
You can participate in discussions with native speakers, share your opinions clearly, and even negotiate or debate.
56
For instance, you could argue, I believe remote work is better for productivity because it saves time and creates It's a flexible environment.
57
In grammar, A2 focuses on foundational skills.
58
You learn comparative adjectives like fast, faster, fastest, basic tenses like the past continuous,
59
for example, I was reading a book, and simple phrasal verbs like wake up or turn on.
60
You also start using modal verbs like must or should for advice and rules.
61
At B2, you move into advanced grammar.
62
You can use mixed conditionals such as, if I had studied harder, I would be more confident now.
63
You also master expressions like, if only I had known, or I wish I could travel more.
64
Please let me know in the comments what your level is and which area you find more challenging.
65
Now, let's move on to the study plan, which helps you to move from the beginner level to the intermediate level of English.
66
Step 1.
67
Start with the hardest thing for you.
68
Identify the areas that are hardest for you.
69
For example, if grammar feels really challenging, focus on that first, while your motivation is high.
70
When I started learning Spanish, I made the same mistake.
71
was like who needs grammar I can speak the language
72
and that's enough but
73
that was a horrible mistake grammar is a foundation of any language without it people might misunderstand you for example
74
if you mix up tenses you might say I go to
75
the store yesterday instead of the correct I went to the
76
store yesterday small mistakes like this can make a big difference
77
grammar helps you build sentences correctly it's like building a house you can't skip the foundation
78
so please learn from my mistakes step 2 find your most productive time find out
79
when you are most productive for me it's in the morning that's
80
when i have the most energy and focus what about you is it morning afternoon
81
or evening once you know your best time set a study
82
schedule even 20 minutes a day can make a big difference
83
if you can study for an hour that's even better the
84
important thing is to do it every day Here is an example.
85
From 9 a .m to 9 .20 a .m.
86
learn new words or practice grammar.
87

Language schools give you the chance to learn in a group.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
