In this 30 hour course, we will cover up to a fourth of the totality of the program of the A2 level listed below.
Remember that: the suggested number of hours to cover the A2 waystage level is between 120 and 180 hours. Students might cover each level in more or less hours than this suggested number by Instituto Cervantes depending on different factors.
The most recognized tests that prove Spanish competence and locate students' level are the DELE and SIELE exams.
Students can split the coverage of these hours in as many courses they wish and the school, teacher, method and pace that works best for them.
Goals
After having been introduced and practiced into the mastery of the most basic vocabulary and skills, we can expand and move towards a bit more specific type of communication. The skills acquired at the A2 level should help students to start to function on their basic daily rutines independently.
As we continue our journey through the Spanish speaking world: its customs, its culture, its music, its food, our subjects of study emerge. Students will go beyond making contact with Spanish speakers, to giving and requesting more descriptive information about themselves and their surroundings.

Special note for students who learn a foreign language for the first time. You are taken care of!
Languages are very particular systems that reveal the way people from a specific place understand the world around them. This is quite a discovery that requires some attention to make the process fun and effective at the same time. If you are learning a language as an adult for the first time, this course will also provide an insight of language functioning in general so you can basically relax, focus on your job and enjoy learning Spanish.
