| Description | <p>A B1 level of English would be sufficient for interactions with English speakers on familiar topics. </p><p></p><p>In the workplace, people at a B1 level of English are able to read simple reports on familiar topics and write simple e-mails on subjects in their field. However, a B1 level is not adequate to function fully in the workplace in English.</p>                                                                                                      | <p>A B2 level of English would allow you to function in the workplace in English, and indeed, many non-native English speakers in international workplaces have this level of English. </p><p></p><p>A person working in English at a B2 level will, however, lack nuance particularly outside his own field. He may also miss some of the subtleties and implied meanings in conversation.</p>                                                                                                                                | A C1 level of English allows for a full range of functionality at work or in an academic setting. The C1 level would allow for full autonomy in a native English-speaking country.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
