B2 Upper-Intermediate Esperanto

B2 is where the language starts behaving like a real one: full of nuance, sarcasm, hedging, and references that aren't in the textbook. You can follow extended conversations on both familiar and abstract topics, including the speaker's attitude: are they joking, being polite, mildly annoyed? The challenge isn't vocabulary anymore; it's the layers underneath the words. Implicit meaning, cultural references, idioms, the way meaning shifts with intonation. Start paying attention to how speakers signal their stance (through prosody, hedging, irony) not just what they literally say. Pick clips with one speaker arguing or telling a longer story so you can track register and tone over time. Slow down your judgement: the first interpretation isn't always the right one.
