Thanks! Actually I already do, although I want to get my Korean up to B2 shortly. I may try to push them all to C1 eventually, but I'm generally happy with B2. For the way I learn languages, the only skill I lack at B2 and care enough about to go after C1 for is the ability to fully (almost) understand movies, TV and people talking to each other.
