COURSES TO LEARN SPANISH (ELE)

SPANISH LEVELS AND ESTIMATED LEARNING HOURS ACCORDING TO THE CEFR

Learning Spanish as a foreign language is structured according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR), the international standard used to describe language proficiency and establish learning objectives.

The CEFR divides learning into six progressive levels, grouped into three main categories: basic user (A1–A2), independent user (B1–B2), and proficient user (C1–C2). Each level involves developing new communicative skills, expanding vocabulary, and improving the ability to interact in personal, academic, and professional contexts.

The hours required to progress between levels are guidelines and represent accumulated guided learning time. Actual progress may vary depending on prior experience, exposure to the language, frequency of study, and the student's personal goals.

Level Category General skills Approximate accumulated hours
A1 Basic user Understand and use simple everyday expressions, introduce yourself and interact in basic situations 90–120 hours
A2 Basic user Communicating in everyday situations, describing personal aspects, and handling simple exchange 180–240 hours
B1 Independent user To be able to navigate travel, work and studies, express opinions and produce simple texts 350–450 hours
B2 Independent user Participate fluently in complex conversations and understand specialized texts 500–700 hours
C1 Independent user Use the language flexibly in academic and professional contexts 700–900 hours
C2 Competent user To understand and produce the language with accuracy and naturalness similar to a highly proficient speaker 1000–1200+ hours

How to interpret these hours

The hours shown are cumulative from the absolute beginner level. This means that a student who reaches a B2 level will have invested approximately 500 to 700 total hours of learning.

In addition to classroom hours, progress is usually accelerated when training is supplemented with continuous exposure to the language through reading, conversation, audiovisual resources, and independent practice.

Our learning paths are designed to facilitate this gradual progression, allowing students to choose intensive, extensive, or modular paces according to their individual needs.
