B2 English vocabulary list: 12 upper-intermediate words

B212 Wörter

The step from B1 to B2 is mostly a vocabulary step: the grammar is broadly in place, and what is missing is the precise word for an opinion, a trend or a consequence. These twelve are typical of that band and appear constantly in exams and in the news.

Wo du sie brauchst: Upper-intermediate exams, discussion and reading news.
