200 hours?

It is suggested that it takes approximately 200 hours to move from one CEFR level to another. If you are at B1, you need 200 hours to get to B2. If you are B2, you need approximately 200 hours to get to C1 level.


200 hours is just under 8 1/2 days and nights, that means about 17 'days' in total.

If you can break the 200 hours down and even doing an hour a day, that would be 200 days, just over 6 months. Is that time you are able to invest?

If you're not close to the level at the moment, it's unlikely you will reach it without investing a suitable amount of time.

Grab a coffee, grab a notebook, grab something to read or listen to and go for it!
