The descriptions below for each level are for ’’communicative competence’.’ In other words, how well you are able to understand and be understood by others. I'm using the recognized standard of the defined six levels of proficiency called Common European Framework of Reference for Languages which is recognized all over the world as well as the United States.

​

 

A2  -  Advanced Beginner

 In this level, you’re able to go deeper into the ‘’first meeting’’conversations. You have the tools to say       more  about your background, albeit still in very simple terms. You also can explain what you did             yesterday or last year, using the right tense.

​

                                        LEVEL 2 : INTERMEDIATE

B1 - Low Intermediate 

This is the minimum level that travelers and tourists would want to reach in order to competently navigate a foreign country. You are now able to communicate with native speakers about your thoughts, opinions and plans. You may still not understand every word but the native speaker listening to you will get the gist of what you are talking about.

You have an extended vocabulary  and you are starting to master the spectrum of Spanish tenses.

 

B2 - High Intermediate

At this stage, there is some degree of spontaneity in your communication

You are quite confident using all major tenses. You have the necessary vocabulary and grammar to talk about a variety of topics, but you still make some mistakes.

​

                               LEVEL 3 : ADVANCED (proficient)

 

C1 - Low Advanced 

At this point, you mostly need conversation practice and to polish up your already extensive grammar skills. Your Spanish is solid, you want to keep expanding your vocabulary.

C2 - High Advanced 

You are already able to say and express whatever you desire. For example, you can discuss complex topics of conversation. In this class you will you will improve and perfect your communication skills.
