Marianna's says:
“At B1 level, you move from basic to truly independent language use. It is like crossing the bridge from “I can manage simple daily conversations” to “I can hold real conversations and express my opinions on any complex topics without feeling lost.” It is such a great feeling to see your vocabulary grow, your grammar becomes more solid - and I can assure you: your confidence will take a big leap forward. You will be amazed at how much more freely you can express yourself.”
