    Thanks! There’s a descriptor of C2 but in a nutshell it’s basically native level. I was a school teacher for many years so I know all about sentence structure, vocab, subordination etc and can put all that together to write a high level, educated piece. Finally, I passed the C1 exam in Spanish so I have experience of writing at a level below in another language - long answer but that’s how! 😀

    That is so interesting… I was thinking about this the other day - what people in your situation should do. I spoke Spanish for 18 years but didn’t write it, until I decided to sit the C1 exam. However, I’m a very good writer in English so I was able to transfer those skills over to Spanish and I have an excellent online teacher. My recommendation to you: learn to write short essays in your native language. I recommend using the B2 FCE essay questions, as they are only 180 words texts. Then, see if you can find a teacher or someone who is a good writer and go through it with them - this is all in your native language. Once you’ve done that several times, like ten times, you could start trying it in English. You need to be able to write a 5 part essay - introduction, three main paragraphs and a summary. I have some B2 essay videos you could look at. You need to learn to walk before you run (and then fly).
