Levels of Spanish

We teach all levels of Spanish and levels of difficulty. We orientate ourselves on the common language level scale. Below you will find an overview with some insights.

Beginner A1:

Starting from the idea that the majority of our new students don’t know anything in Spanish and consider themselves as Absolute Beginner A0, or if they already know a few vocabulary and have little knowledge of basic grammar, they should register for Basic A1.

This level begins with basic vocabulary, greetings, expressions necessary to begin to understand Spanish-speaking people, numbers to begin to develop a practice of buying and selling.

After learning or reinforcing these basic concepts, we will begin to develop simple communication structures and prepare our students to survive with our language in any Spanish speaking country.

At the end of the level our students must be able to communicate relatively easily in the present and simple future. During the development of this level it is necessary to learn as much vocabulary as possible. because this is the basis of the learning process of our language.

We consider that it is always more effective to learn Spanish with professional teachers and we are professional teachers with 32 years of experience. Learning Beginner A1 with a good professional teacher is important because in this level you have the foundations for a good learning process. 

Elementary A2

This level is one of the most extensive and fun levels in the entire Spanish language learning process. Passing an Elementary level means that a person can already communicate easily in Spanish and be able to have a good conversation with a Spanish speaking person, has the ability to use enough vocabulary, communicate with people in the present tense, using all past tenses, simple future, etc. therefore, this level is subdivided into sub-levels that make the Spanish course easier.

People who have passed the Elementary level A2, can read newspapers, magazines, articles with a wide variety of subjects, can travel in Spanish speaking countries, speak with a good confidence, able to request rooms in hotels, order food in restaurants, understand the signs of ground and air terminals, begin to understand loudspeakers, etc.

Intermediate B1:

Intermediate level B1, is considered as the Proficiency Level of Spanish, a person who has officially approved this level, according legal authorities is considered as an intelligent person in the Spanish language, with the ability to carry out productive activities, to be able to contract, to be hired  and able to work in our language.

This level focuses on obtaining and developing a very broad vocabulary, communicating easily at all tenses, present tense, past tenses, future, conditional and subjunctive. If you pass Intermediate Level B1 with us it means that you really have a very good level of Spanish and you can speak well in our language and be able to have a conversation with absolute confidence.

Many Spanish teaching schools in the world qualify at this level as Advanced level and this is due to the lack of experience in teaching the Spanish language, a weak teaching system, for counting with empirical not professional teachers and also to please, be friendly with students by showing them a level they really don't have.

Upper Intermediate B2:

This level combines relationships between grammatical tenses with other necessary grammatical subjects, but it goes beyond that because it concentrates on later topics that facilitate the process of oral and written communication. If the students have good foundations for learning Spanish, this level will confirm the whole process was effective or that there were flaws that will need a necessary review and reinforcement to gain fluency.

A person who has passed the Upper Intermediate B2 level speaks almost perfectly in Spanish, has a very large vocabulary, with the ability to read and write any type of article, be it newspapers, professional areas, literature, reading books, etc., can participate as an student, moderator or exhibitor in technical and professional seminars, etc.

Advanced C1:

This level is considered as the Higher Level of Spanish language learned in secondary education, College, University or in a foreign professional language school based in a Spanish-speaking country taught with native Spanish-speaking professional experienced Spanish teachers.

All professionals who have learned Spanish as a foreign language and  are fluent in it must be recognized with Advanced C1 level of Spanish. According to our experience, we have found that Spanish language teachers from non native Spanish speaking countries, normally are well in Elementary Level A2, Intermediate B1, Upper Intermediate B2 but very few of them are Advanced C1 or Bilingual Upper Advanced C2.

People who have passed Advanced C1 are persons who can speak, read and write perfectly in Spanish, who can develop their daily and professional life in Spanish in the same way as they do in their native language, with the same ease, ability and confidence.

Most professionals who have passed Upper Intermediate B2 or Advanced C1 before pursuing a university degree in Spanish and who have graduated from a university in a Spanish-speaking country and only these people must qualify as Bilingual Upper Advanced C2.
