Spanish levels orientation

These categories will help you find your Spanish level as well as the objectives we suggest for each Spanish course.

This is a general classification, given that there are no exclusive levels. In some cases, the student has a very high level of reading comprehension but experiences problems speaking fluently. In others, the student speaks fluently but has difficulties understanding...

On the other hand, improvement is not only gradual, but also depends on many different factors, such as the language environment, the need to use it in different contexts and situations, each student’s own rate of learning...

Generally speaking, every level takes approximately between 100 and 120 hours of Spanish lessons at a medium learning rate.
