Quick facts about your level

Tu nivel a un vistazo

Spanish level A1 is the first level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) which is a official definition of different language levels established by the Council of Europe and is valid for all languages. In simple words, we would say you are on a beginner level.

The beginner level A1 is

  • for learners who want to learn how to greet and how to use the numbers,
  • for learners of Spanish who can already introduce themselves and maybe say some basic things and
  • for learners who already are able to speak about themselves and want to advance to get more fluency

What does it cover?

¿Qué contiene?

Many students of all ages ask us every day about how long it takes to master the Spanish beginner level A1.

The average study time to get through all of the contents of A1 in our courses is about 40-70 hours. The duration is similar in courses in the school in Ibiza and in our online courses. It also depends a little on each student how well he/she can follow the course: on the age, on the motivation, maybe knowledge of other languages, the background or other factors. It is an approximate value.

But for now, there is no student who did not make it :-). It is possible, no matter if you are 18 years old, 40 something or over 70. We had them all. Some succeed a little faster and some succeed a little slower.
