Spanish by level from A1 to C2 according to CEFR
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) divides language skills into six levels. At Wordculture, you will find the level that suits you. If you are unsure of your level, contact us personally for a free assessment and a free trial lesson.
A1: First Steps in Spanish
You will learn to introduce yourself, hold simple everyday conversations, and master basic situations: ordering in a café, asking for directions, or introducing yourself to colleagues. The first “¡Hola, me llamo…” is quickly learned, and Spanish is easier than you think.
A2: Spanish for Everyday Life
You communicate in familiar situations: shopping, traveling, and short conversations at the workplace. Vocabulary and grammar grow systematically, allowing you to express yourself in everyday situations using simple sentences.
B1: Becoming Independent
You can hold your own in everyday situations and talk about personal topics such as hobbies, travel, and experiences. B1 opens the doors to real conversations with native speakers.
B2: Confident and Fluent
At this level, you begin to understand more complex texts and can reproduce them logically and in detail when necessary. You can also converse spontaneously with Spanish speakers. Furthermore, you can write emails and reports and work productively in Spanish within international teams. B2 is considered the key level for career and university studies.
C1: Communicate Professionally
You formulate ideas in a sophisticated, structured, and nuanced way, even on abstract topics beyond everyday life. C1 corresponds to the level that many companies in Zurich require for management positions and international communication.
C2: Native-like Proficiency
You understand Spanish in all its facets and nuances and can speak, write, and negotiate spontaneously and without restriction at a near-native level.
Student review
I progressed from A2 to B1 in three months. The teacher was from Spain. She explained things very well and adapted the lessons to the needs of the group. On my last trip to Spain, I was even able to hold conversations in Spanish. I couldn’t have imagined that before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there also hybrid Spanish courses?
Yes. Upon request, we also offer hybrid courses that combine in-person and online sessions. All our courses feature flexible booking. Especially in a hectic daily routine with home office, business trips, and unpredictable appointments, this model ensures that your learning progress doesn’t stall. During the initial consultation, we will look together at which combination works best for you.
Is Spanish really as easy to learn as everyone says?
For German speakers, Spanish is genuinely one of the most accessible languages, thanks to its regular pronunciation, clear grammatical structure and many similarities with French. Up to B1, progress is often faster than expected. From B2 it becomes more demanding but that is also precisely when Spanish gets really interesting. Either way, learning Spanish is always worth it.
How long does it take to learn Spanish for a holiday?
For solid travel skills at an A2 level, 2-4 months of targeted instruction is often enough. Reaching this goal depends heavily on the learner and their dedication. An intensive course at Wordculture allows you to reach your goal even faster.
I have a busy schedule; how flexible are the courses?
Wordculture offers Spanish courses as standard, intensive, evening, or private lessons, available at the school, hybrid, or online. Our courses adapt to your daily life, not the other way around. Talk to us so we can find a format that works for you.
Will I learn Castilian or Latin American Spanish?
Lessons at Wordculture are based on international standard Spanish, which is understood in both regions. Regional varieties from Andalusia to Chile do not play a major role in lessons, unless explicitly requested by participants.
