Learning a language is not only about understanding and correctly applying the rules of the grammar, often what it needs to take the next step forward in your proficiency, is just to increase your vocabulary – especially if you want to improve from B1 to B2 and especially when trying to make the long-haul leap to the C (native) levels. This progess or leveling-up can take one or several years and should not be dreaded but rather embraced with forgiving love, as it provides so many insights and opportunities to wonder and be amazed by the chosen language. It would be a shame to miss and just plow through with hard emotions! Learning a language is a process, not a specific goal!
