Spanish C2: Near-native
C2 does not mean sounding like a native speaker. It means the language no longer stands between you and the thought: whatever you want to say can be said, and said in exactly that way.
What is left is fine work — collocations, idioms, levels of style, the differences between the big regional varieties, and the knack of pulling several sources into one short, accurate summary.

1Verbs: ser, estar, subjunctive1
