B2 level is considered good English, as it allows for understanding complex texts, discussing a wide range of topics, and expressing oneself with good fluency. Good English speakers have clarity, use words and grammar correctly enough for their message to be understood, and have confidence and active listening skills. While B2 level is enough for most everyday situations, reaching higher levels like C1 and C2 brings benefits such as more nuanced expression, career advantages, and personal growth. It is important to keep practicing and aim for higher levels for the right reasons, out of curiosity and passion for the language.
