I’ve hit B1 in listening and speaking at this point after about 6-7 months of study using immersion. I’m sitting at a vocab of 2000-2500 (I know that’s technically below the amount of standard B1, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. It depends on what subjects I’m listening to, if we’re talking about topics I’m interested in I understand and converse well).
I’m still progressing every day and it’s great, but my rate of learning is slowing down a little bit I think. It’s hard to tell, though I’m definitely still improving.
I’ve gotten up to this point with almost 100% listening. I’ve learned to read very basic passages by osmosis from subtitles and DMs from natives on language exchange platforms. I want to continue listening because I prefer it. Do you think it’s possible to hit B2 in listening without reading as an adult?
