COURSES AND LEVELS

Each course has between 15 and 20 units and all the contents of the Instituto Cervantes Curricular Plan.

The purchase of each level will give access to the course at any time during 1, 4 or 12 months.

The estimated number of training hours is between 125 and 150 hours per level. The number of hours depends on each student and varies according to their mother tongue and their ability to learn a foreign language. The first units are simpler to avoid frustrating the student.

In level A courses, the two versions of the course can be accessed at any time, one completely in Spanish and the other with instructions and statements in English. From level B1, the course is only in Spanish.

The English version of the Spanish courses contains the grammatical explanations and the statements of the activities in English. It is suitable for students who start studying Spanish and their mother tongue is English or for people who know some English.

The Spanish version of the courses is suitable for students who know Portuguese or Italian. If you have no knowledge of English or any of the above languages you can also choose the Spanish base language because the course is very visual and the explanations are short and simple.
