When you reach a fairly advanced level in a foreign language (let's say C1-C2, according to European parameters) it becomes very difficult to learn new words at an advanced level. A very effective method is certainly to read books and watch videos, interviews or documentaries. You have certainly already reached this level, but... do you remember the meanings of all the words you come across? Obviously I mean the difficult ones...! Well, let's find out together with this test on Italian vocabulary at an advanced level (C1-C2)! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📝 Free Italian lessons: https://learnamo.com/ 👩🏼‍🏫 Individual lessons: https://learnamo.com/lezioni-online-i... 💻 Italian in Context Course: https://learnamo.com/corso-italiano-i... 👕 👚 LearnAmo Collection: https://learnamocollection.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to be always updated on the new contents that we publish day by day, follow us on: 👉🏽 Facebook: / learnamo 👉🏽 Instagram: / learnamo 👉🏽 Twitter: / learnamo 👉🏽 TikTok: / learnamo 👉🏽 Pinterest: / learnamo 👉🏽 Telegram: https://t.me/LearnAmo/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED VOCABULARY TEST To test your knowledge, I have prepared a list of rather complex words, proportionate to the C1-C2 level.
