What are the key vocabulary categories for advancing to C1 Italian level

Key vocabulary categories for advancing to the C1 level in Italian typically include a wide range of thematic and lexical fields that enable complex and nuanced expression. These categories cover areas such as abstract concepts, professional and academic vocabulary, sophisticated verbal expressions, idiomatic phrases, collocations, and lexical fields related to social, political, cultural, and technical domains.

Specifically, C1 learners focus on:

• Formal and informal registers, including slang and idiomatic expressions.
• Extensive use of synonyms, antonyms, and nuanced vocabulary for precision.
• Specialized and domain-specific vocabulary for fields like politics, economics, science, and literature.
• Vocabulary to express opinions, hypotheses, and abstract ideas.
• Advanced verbs and their compounds, especially modal verbs and verb phrases.
• Collocations and fixed expressions to sound natural and idiomatic.
• Academic vocabulary often used in higher education and professional environments.

This vocabulary knowledge goes beyond everyday communication, enabling learners to understand and produce complex texts and participate in high-level discussions with fluency and accuracy.
