Levels
The Spanish levels are determined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They are divided into six groups with different letters and numbers. This framework defines the language skills students have in Spanish. In the test you can find different sections which assess your writing, reading comprehension, speaking, and listening comprehension.
Before enrolling, we recommend you to take our level test, which is completely free and without obligation. You will then be assigned a provisional level. Once you are in Valencia, we will test your speaking and we will recommend the best level for your particular needs.
A1 level is for beginners. No test is needed.
