Our Spanish Levels

All our programs are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At Academia de Español, we think of Spanish as a six-floor building. Our exclusive ‘Casa‘ program is based on the idea that every linguistic item is held together by the others.

In this way, learning a language is like building a house: an architect cannot build a new floor if the one below is not finished. The CASA Program distinguishes 6 very refined levels tied into the 6 floors of a building. At the end of each level, an exam is conducted to gauge the student’s performance so as to advance to the next level.

Advance Certificate (C1-C2)

By the end of this course the candidate is able to interact with native speakers with a good degree of fluency, hence enabling natural communication amongst each other. The candidate is able to translate, sub-title and interpret texts from Spanish to English and vice-versa fluently, provided they are within the candidate’s area of expertise.

Intermediate Certificate (B2)

By the end of this course the candidate is able to read, write and speak Spanish in all seventeen tenses. Here, the candidate is able to communicate with an advanced degree of fluency alongside developing greater understanding at an academic level.

Intermediate Certificate (B1)

By the end of this course the candidate is able to read, write and speak Spanish in eleven tenses. Here, the candidate is able to understand the gist of academic texts, deal with most travel situations in Hispanic countries and briefly explain opinions or plans.

Basic Certificate (A2)

By the end of this course the candidate is able to read, write and speak Spanish in five tenses. Here, the candidate is able to express familiar concepts & read, write general texts of personal interest.

Here, the candidate is able to communicate using the language in a basic way in circumstances concerning immediate needs and day to day situations as a tourist.

How It Works

AE is India’s first and only personalized training school where students can experience fully immersive one-on-one teaching at their handpicked days and timings throughout the week, including the weekends. Students can telephonically book their preferred 1.5 hour time slots on a weekly basis for the in person lessons at our schools in Andheri, Bandra, Thane or Chembur.

This organizational structure enables students to attend the in person classes with our teachers at any time between our opening hours, i.e. 10am to 7pm from Monday to Saturday and 10am to 2pm on Sundays. Can’t get any better, right?!

Course Duration

Our courses emphasize more on the curriculum to be covered than on the hours taken for completion. Each student is differently paced based on a number of factors such as their attendance frequency, revision and homework completion and other commitments along with their grasping of the language.

This means that it would be practically impossible to gauge exactly how much time each student will complete each course in. Nonetheless, with our experience, we can affirm that students generally take about 50 to 60 hours to complete each level. Since this is a one-on-one training school, there is no fixed start and end date to the course.

However, students are given a maximum of 6 months from the date of enrolment to complete each level. Since each class lasts 1.5 hours and students can choose to take lessons once, twice, thrice or four times a week, the approximate course duration per level will be between 2 and 4 months.

Approximate completion time frames as per attendance frequency are below:

• 1 session per week – 4 months per level
• 2 sessions per week – 3 months per level
• 3 sessions per week – 2 months per level

Students must know that there is no fixed number of hours or classes that they are confined to, which means that if they need more practice or don’t feel confident with a certain topic, they can always recap it in class with our teachers and spend some time in our library with additional resources to build the perfect language base. It’s different at AE, because we want you to speak Spanish, not just learn Spanish.
