It follows the A1 level of the Instituto Cervantes Plan Curricular, the syllabus the DELE exams are built on. There is no official DELE word list, so our 766 words combine the Plan Curricular A1 inventories with ELELex, a word list drawn from Spanish textbooks, plus the greetings and grammar words every beginner needs. Our practice exams copy the current DELE A1 layout (since 2020). They are DELE-style practice, not official DELE material, and the score is only a guide.

Four tests: reading (45 minutes), listening (25 minutes), writing (25 minutes: a form and a short message) and speaking (about 10 minutes, after 10 minutes to prepare). Each is worth 25 points. You pass with at least 30 of 50 in reading and writing together and 30 of 50 in listening and speaking together. Check the Instituto Cervantes website for dates and the current format before you book.

We teach the Spanish of Spain, the variety the Plan Curricular starts from, and our cast lives in Madrid. Tips point out the Latin American words and forms where they differ: ustedes instead of vosotros, computadora for ordenador, carro for coche, celular for móvil. Speakers on both sides of the ocean understand each other easily.

No. Spanish is written in Latin letters, plus ñ and the accents on á, é, í, ó, ú, and spelling follows the sound very closely: once you know the rules, you can say any word you read. Accents matter (tú is 'you', tu is 'your'), so the practice checks them.
