I’m curious what does being c1 in English mean? Is it like a rating of how fluent someone is in a language?

essentially, yeah.

theres this standard called cefr that describes how well you know a language.

it goes from a1, meaning you know nothing, you've just started learning this language, all the way to c2, which means you might as well be a local cuz you know the language inside and out.

fun fact. if you're a moron like me, you can pay 200 fucking euros for a piece of shit construction paper to tell you you're alright at a language you've been speaking essentially your entire life. and the best part is you're only officially recognized as 'alright' FOR TWO YEARS
