Lingu English — formerly Perfectly Spoken — runs a complete C2 Proficiency course for adults sitting Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE), publishing in English, leading senior negotiations or teaching the language itself. Sixty lessons of ~35 minutes, five expert teachers for a range of accents and styles, weekly live practice and AI feedback between sessions.
Understand almost anything heard or read, reconstruct arguments, and express yourself spontaneously and precisely while distinguishing the finest shades of meaning.
Every card answers one question: what will you actually be able to do in English at C2 — at conference, in print, in negotiation?
Including abstract, idiomatic and structurally complex texts — heard or read, at speed.
Summarise spoken and written sources, rebuilding the line of reasoning coherently and precisely.
Precise and fluent even in the most demanding professional situations, without hesitation.
And convey them deliberately in your own speech and writing — register, tone, implication.
Conversation, debate and negotiation where every word and its weight count.
For academic publication, senior professional work or creative writing.
C2 shows up in real situations — leading a senior negotiation, publishing an argument, defending a position in a debate, holding a subtle social conversation without losing precision. The course rehearses exactly these.
Situations the course rehearses
You follow everything, but reaching for the exact phrasing slows you down when nuance matters.
Lessons focus on register, idiom, attitude, discourse and the grammar that carries fine meaning.
Weekly live practice with five teachers gives feedback on how you sound, not only whether the answer is correct.
You convey the finest shades of meaning at native-level pressure — ready for Cambridge CPE.
Every Lingu English teacher is CELTA- or DELTA-qualified, holds at least one university degree (most a postgraduate one), and has a minimum of ten years’ practical classroom and online experience. C2 is taught by five teachers so you train with a range of accents, registers and styles.
Each curriculum area maps to an ability you will use — not a syllabus dump. Sixty lessons, ~35 minutes each, with a review every fifth slot.
The placement test confirms whether C2 is the right start, or whether to finish C1 first before the final level.
Five minutes to estimate your CEFR level.

At the recommended three hours a week, the 60 video lessons take several months to work through with care. Add weekly live practice and most learners settle into a routine that suits their schedule rather than racing a deadline. Because C2 is the top of the CEFR ladder, once you finish, the work shifts from level progression to maintenance and range.
Most C2 learners fall into four groups. Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE) candidates preparing for the exam. Academics who publish, present, or examine in English. Senior professionals — lawyers, executives, diplomats, finance leaders — who negotiate and lead in English. And language teachers and translators who work in English itself. If you see yourself on that list, this is the right course. If not, the placement test will tell you whether C2 is your next level or whether C1 Advanced is the better starting point.
The Lingutest takes five minutes and gives you a CEFR level on the spot. If you're between C1 and C2, the result tells you where the gain is. Take the test.
The C2 course is aligned to Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE), formerly the Certificate of Proficiency in English. It builds the underlying language — vocabulary, fluent speech features, register, idiomatic precision. For exam-specific technique (task types, timing, scoring) pair it with our Cambridge exam preparation page.
Both. The 60 video lessons are available 24/7 in your subscription, taught by five different teachers so you train with a range of accents. On top of that, English Live and English Fast-track include weekly live group classes, speaking sessions, and unlimited masterclass webinars with our teachers. See live practice.
Free apps train recognition. Lingu trains production — with a real teacher who can hear your spoken English, read your writing and tell you what to fix. At C2 the gap between recognition and production is the entire point: you already understand. The job is to use the language with the precision the level demands. The AI practice partner fills the gap between sessions; it doesn't replace the teacher.
C2 is the top of the CEFR ladder, so "next" stops being a level — it's specialisation and maintenance. If you haven't already, sitting Cambridge C2 Proficiency turns a course outcome into a credential employers and universities recognise. Otherwise, most learners stay engaged through our live practice, the Conversation Café, and specialist tracks like Business English. The grammar is settled; what keeps developing is range, register and the muscle memory you only get from regular use.
Common. The Lingutest tells you which lessons to start with — sometimes that means finishing the last quarter of C1 Advanced before opening C2, sometimes it means starting C2 straight away. Your test result is the map.
Five minutes for the placement test. Seven days to try the platform. Then choose the pace that matches your goal.
