Connectors for DELE C1 & C2

Cracking DELE C1 may seem tough, however, with the right approach, trust me, it's possible.

I am saying this from personal experience.

I self-prepared for DELE C1. Cracked it!

You too can crack DELE exams with the right training and mindset.

❌ Please ensure to not use A2 level connectors for C1 & C2 levels.

The usage of nuanced connectors is highly recommended.
