How the AI writes B2

At B2, the AI is free to use conditionals, passive voice, and context-explained idiom, with sentence length allowed up to about 25 words. The vocabulary guardrail loosens too: only 30% of the text is required to fall inside our common-word band, so it can regularly reach beyond it, that’s what makes B2 feel like real Greek, not graded Greek, while still holding a real, measured ceiling on sentence complexity.

A taste of B2 Greek

Αν και είχε αποφασίσει να μην ξαναγυρίσει στο χωριό, κάτι μέσα του τον τραβούσε πίσω: ίσως οι αναμνήσεις, ίσως απλώς η ανάγκη να κλείσει έναν λογαριασμό με το παρελθόν.

Although he had decided never to return to the village, something inside pulled him back: perhaps the memories, perhaps simply the need to settle a score with the past.

How to study at this level

At B2 the gap between “textbook Greek” and real Greek closes. Read stories that use dialogue-heavy, colloquial language, and pay attention to particles and idioms, because they carry the tone that dictionaries miss.

Common questions

Can I read Greek literature at B2?: Contemporary novels, mostly yes. Older literature (Papadiamantis, for example) uses katharevousa forms that challenge even native speakers, so treat it as a separate project.
What separates B2 from C1 reading?: Speed and depth. At B2 you understand complex texts with effort; at C1 you read them fluently, catch implication and register shifts, and rarely need a dictionary.
