Spanish language

Spanish is the world’s most spoken Romance language, with about 500 million native speakers. A global language today, it belongs to the Indo-European language family originating in the Iberian Peninsula of Europe from colloquially spoken Latin. Its users are spread mainly in the north and south Americas and Spain.

Twenty countries use it as their official language. Spanish comes second after Mandarin Chinese in the most spoken native languages list. It is the fourth-most spoken language worldwide after English, Mandarin Chinese, and Hindi.

CEFR International Language Standards

CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is a widely accepted set of standards for assessing an individual’s language ability in Europe and, in many cases, beyond it. Spanish learners also fall under these standards.

The three primary CEFR level learners are – Basic, Independent, and Proficient. These three levels have two sub-levels each. This structure results in six levels of certification in Spanish language proficiency – A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.

Language proficiency has three further skills-based divisions – understanding (reading and listening), speaking (spoken interaction and spoken production), and writing. A learner can be at different levels in acquiring different skills.

The Linguistics Horizons self-assessment grid is a helpful tool for gauging one’s current level of language skills.

Spanish learners can take the following exams to test their skills and obtain proof of their expertise.

• Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE)
• The European Language Certificates (TELC)
• Certificate of Use of Language in Spanish (CELU)
• Standards-Based Assessment and Measurement of Proficiency (STAMP)

Our tutors have vast experience in helping Spanish learners prepare for each level. You can reach out to us for assistance in these skills or levels. We can also help you with preparation for the entire certification route.
