What Advanced (C1+) Spanish means
At C1+ Spanish, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.
Qualify an argument
Si bien el argumento resulta convincente en términos generales, pasa por alto varias consecuencias imprevistas.
While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.
Convey nuance
No me opongo a la propuesta en sí; lo que cuestiono es la forma precipitada de aplicarla.
I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.
Adapt your register
Le agradecería que reconsiderara la decisión a la luz de la información adicional adjunta.
I would be grateful if you would reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.
