How to Pass DELE (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2): Helpful Tips

The DELE exam (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is an official certificate that validates your Spanish language proficiency, issued by the Cervantes Institute. This certificate is recognized in many countries and educational institutions worldwide, making it a crucial step for students and professionals seeking to certify their language skills.

Each DELE level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) has its own structure, but all exams consist of four main parts:

• Reading: Understanding texts of various styles, including journalistic articles, instructions, and literature.
• Listening: Listening to recordings and answering questions that test comprehension of the heard material.
• Speaking: Engaging in a dialogue with the examiner, demonstrating the ability to argue and express thoughts.
• Writing: Writing texts (e.g., essays or business letters) to showcase grammatical and lexical skills.

Each DELE level has specific skill requirements, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the level you plan to take. This will help you choose the most appropriate level and focus your efforts on the necessary areas.

Determine the amount of time you can dedicate to preparing for the DELE exam. It is recommended to start your preparation several months before the scheduled exam date. Create a detailed schedule that includes time for studying grammar, practicing reading and listening, as well as preparing for speaking and writing.

It's important to allocate time in a way that covers all aspects of the exam, giving more attention to areas where you have less experience. At Native Speakers Courses, our instructors will help you develop a personalized study plan, considering your strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

At each DELE level, a certain amount of grammatical structures and vocabulary is required. Familiarize yourself with the requirements of the level you intend to take (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Pay special attention to:

• Complex Tenses and Grammatical Constructions: Mastering past and future tenses, conditional sentences, passive voice, and other complex structures.
• Idiomatic Expressions and Phrasal Verbs: Learning expressions commonly used in spoken and written language.
• Words and Expressions for Different Contexts: Expanding your vocabulary for formal and informal situations.

Regular lessons with our instructors will help you systematize your knowledge and effectively memorize new words and grammatical rules. Utilize the study materials provided by our school and actively practice new knowledge in real-life scenarios.

Listening plays a key role in the DELE exam. Listen to podcasts, watch movies and TV series in Spanish. This will help improve your ability to comprehend spoken language and get accustomed to different accents and speaking speeds.

Try summarizing what you've heard to train active listening and reinforce the material. At Native Speakers Courses, we provide audio and video materials specifically designed for DELE preparation, allowing you to make the most effective use of your study time.

Reading a variety of texts in Spanish, such as news articles, literature, blogs, and academic papers, will help you expand your vocabulary and improve your reading comprehension skills.

After reading a text, try writing a brief summary or discussing it with someone in Spanish. This not only reinforces what you've read but also helps develop your writing and speaking skills.

Our instructors will help you select appropriate reading materials that match your level and interests, as well as provide exercises to reinforce what you've read.
