Let’s do a REAL C1 English Test! 🙇‍♂️ (CAE Use of English) [955]

Über diese Folge

<p>In episode 949 I did an online test which claimed to be for C1 level, but let's be honest - it was more like an intermediate level, the questions were rubbish and it was ultimately a useless scam. This time I'm taking a proper C1 English test - the Use of English section from a Cambridge CAE exam.
