Think C1 Takes Years?

What people believe about C1. And how our learners really do it.

  1. 01

    "C1 takes years."

    C1 in under a year.

    92% of our learners who aim for C1 reach it in under a year. The rest get there just 2-3 months later.

  2. 02

    "I don't have time for that."

    Just 20 minutes a day.

    Learn anywhere, anytime and at your own pace. No fixed schedules, no set routines.

  3. 03

    "C1 is too complicated."

    Only if it's taught the hard way.

    One clear path from zero to C1 and beyond that covers everything. You just follow it, step by step.

  4. 04

    "I'd need years of classes."

    One book replaces 4 months of classes.

    And just 3 books take you all the way. Everything you need is in one place.

  5. 05

    "Reaching C1 costs a fortune."

    Not with the most affordable way to learn.

    No more spending a fortune on classes, tutors or teachers. Reach C1 for less than the price of one month with a tutor, with lifetime access to everything you need.

26,900+ Learners Thought It Would Take Years Too

Devin

“well structured, easy to follow, and not a big time commitment”

Lena Hoffmann

Fantastic way to learn new languages!

"I have bought several complete courses and this is the one that finally got me to C1, just 11 months after starting from zero! For me it's the best way to learn a language quickly, but also in a way a local can understand you. Very accessible and comprehendible."

Mateo Ferrari

You won't regret buying this!

"Learning Korean with them and honestly it's been amazing. Every time I wondered why something was said a certain way, the next few lines answered exactly that. Feels like there's an actual tutor sitting there. My teacher told me I'd need years to get to C1, I'm 4 months in and already at B1."

Noor Haddad

They really are good at explaining how to pronounce things

"Im aiming for C1 in Korean within 8 months and honestly this is the first thing that makes it feel possible. They really are good at explaining how to pronounce and understand the topic very well, and unlike other textbook they never really explain the Particles as well as Read2Speak does! Cant wait to start a new language!"

Ewan Macleod

On to C1!

"Previously struggling with learning the German language by myself. Finished B2 last month and started the Mastery book, so C1 is next, hopefully by January. Feels so much more structured and focused now."

Kinga

“I’m extremely satisfied and surprised by how much I can say and understand.”

Kasper Nyberg

Really enjoying this so far

Really enjoying this so far, I wish this had been my first attempt rather than spending hundreds of pounds on private tutoring and downloading loads of apps. I’m at C1 now and the explanations are still so clear

Noel

“I’ve been using Read2Speak to learn different languages for a long time now.”

Tessa Moreau

A language graduate's verdict

"I have studied languages academically, so I was sceptical of anyone promising C1 in under a year. I am now learning Italian from scratch and, at just 6 months in, I'm at B2 and I've changed my mind. Incredibly impressed with the structure and methodology. Even for a beginner it is motivating and engaging."

Axel

“for the first time, I made really progress in that language”

Bianca Salerno

I have tried so many apps and classes…

"So many apps and classes and I never completed any of them. Passed my C1 exam in Italian in 10 months!! First time I've ever finished anything like this. Read2speak gave me the Curriculum I never had. Thank you!"

Rhys Pemberton

Just amazing!

"Got the Spanish B1-B2 a couple of months ago and absolutely LOVE it. I can practice speaking out loud at home before taking it out into the world, and the pronunciation guides are so easy to follow. Everything is stuff you actually use in real life. Starting C1 next, can't wait."🙌

Nuria Canals

“Thought It was impossible"

“Started German from zero in January and passed my C1 in October. I honestly didn’t think it was possible in under a year, but having a clear plan every day made all the difference.”

Shannon Whitfield

“Finally out of A2”

“I was stuck at A2 for years with apps. Lots of streaks, no real progress. 6 months with this and I’m at C1 in French. I wish I’d switched sooner.”

Mathieu Gagnon

“Now I actually speak”

“I had an A2 in Japanese, but it was just vocabulary. I knew words, not how to use them. Now I’m at C1 and I can actually hold real conversations. That was the part I never thought I’d get to.”

Thalia Brennan-Cole

“Still can’t believe it”

“10 months ago I didn’t speak a word of Spanish. Now I’m at C1. I keep rereading my results just to make sure it’s real 😅”
