Spanish Proficiency Exam Prep

Key Spanish proficiency exams such as the DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) and the SIELE (Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española) are essential for validating your Spanish speaking skills for academic, professional, and personal purposes. These exams evaluate a range of abilities from basic communication to advanced proficiency across reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Preparing effectively for these exams requires comprehensive understanding and practice, which can be greatly enhanced by structured online Spanish lessons.

An online Spanish tutor can provide focused, personalized support that is often crucial for excelling in these exams. Through online Spanish classes, tutors can address specific areas of difficulty, provide practice exams, and give feedback on performance in real-time.

Payment can be made quickly and securely in your local currency through the Verbalplanet platform. Unlike many Spanish language courses you're free to buy as few or as many classes as you want with no obligation to buy more than you need.

How long does it take to learn Spanish?

According to the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), Spanish is considered one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn, classified under Category I. This classification suggests that it typically requires about 600 hours of study to achieve proficiency. The European CEFR guidelines align with this, offering a structured pathway from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery) levels. Despite its relative ease compared to other languages, mastering Spanish still presents challenges such as verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and various dialects.

We recognize that achieving fluency in Spanish is greatly enhanced by practicing with a native Spanish speaker. Our online Spanish tutors not only help clarify complex grammatical rules but also immerse you in the nuances of the language that make becoming fluent more effective and enjoyable. By using a native speaking Spanish tutor, learners can experience significant improvements in pronunciation and gain a deeper cultural understanding, all of which are critical in mastering Spanish.

What is the fastest way to learn Spanish?

The most effective approach to learn Spanish is through full immersion by living and working in the community alongside native speakers.

For most people that's not possible so we offer the next best thing which is to practice with a private Spanish tutor.

Your Spanish teacher can manage your development through a personal study plan designed to focus on your goals and areas of difficulty. All you need to do is create a free account, choose your tutor and start building your confidence in speaking in live conversation.

How can I learn correct Spanish pronunciation with an authentic accent?

To develop correct pronunciation and an authentic accent, consider these strategies:

  1. Listen and Imitate: Regularly listen to native Spanish speakers through movies, songs, podcasts, and news broadcasts. Try to imitate the sounds, rhythms, and intonation.
  2. Use Pronunciation Tools: Leverage apps that focus on pronunciation, offering audio comparisons and feedback.
  3. Practice with Native Speakers: Engage with fluent Spanish speakers or a tutor who can provide immediate feedback and corrections, helping you adjust your accent gradually.
  4. Record and Self-Assess: Record yourself talking and compare it to natural speakers, noting areas for improvement.

These methods, combined with regular practice, will gradually help you adopt an authentic Spanish accent.

A problem many learners face is being embarrassed about talking outloud or making mistakes. Working with a Spanish tutor is a great way to overcome this problem and grown in confidence.

How do I choose my Spanish tutor?

Choosing an online Spanish teacher involves several key considerations to ensure the best experience:

  1. Qualifications and Experience: Look for tutors with formal teaching qualifications and check their experience, especially with teaching students at your level. We only accept tutors with significant teaching experience and qualifications and all our tutors detail their past teaching experience on their profile page.
  2. Reviews and Feedback: Read reviews from other Verbalplanet students to gauge the tutor's effectiveness, reliability, and teaching style.
  3. Teaching Style and Approach: Consider what teaching style suits your needs. Some tutors may focus more on conversation, while others might emphasize grammar or pronunciation. Contact our tutors for free to learn more.
  4. Trial Lessons: These are a great way to test your current level of fluency and get to know your Spanish tutor. Use this opportunity to see if the tutor's approach aligns with your personal goals and if you communicate well with each other.
  5. Flexibility and Availability: All available lesson times are shown in your time zone so you can ensure your preferred tutor's schedule aligns with yours and that they can commit to the number and frequency of lessons you'd like.
  6. Compatibility: Learning a language is a long-term commitment, so it's important that you feel comfortable and motivated by your tutor.
Should I choose a Spanish tutor who is a native speaker?

Learning Spanish with a native speaker isn't strictly necessary, but it does offer several important advantages.

Native Spanish speakers provide authentic pronunciation, idiomatic use, and cultural context that can significantly enhance the overall experience. This real-world exposure helps learners understand how Spanish is used in everyday conversations and situations, improving their listening and speaking skills more effectively than with non-native instructors.

Regular conversation with one of our Spanish tutors will significantly boost your confidence in speaking and provide cultural insights enriching the learning process in ways which simply aren't possible through apps or self study programs.

How do Spanish lessons work over the internet?

Our courses are conducted over popular video conferencing platforms and you can choose your preferred communication channel when you book. Virtual Spanish classes are a convenient and effective way to learn and are almost the same as 1-on-1 in person lessons, enabling you to learn Spanish from any location and keep using the same Spanish tutor no matter where you are in the world. During the lesson, you will have the opportunity to interact with your tutor in real-time, practice your speaking, and receive immediate feedback and guidance.

You will also have access to our bank of resources to enhance your progress between classes.

How many Spanish lessons do I need?

The optimal number of sessions per week you'll need will vary depending on your fluency goals and any previous study. However, most educational experts say that regular practice is the key to becoming fluent in Spanish quickly.

Ideally, around two or three classes per week can offer a balanced approach, allowing enough time for new information to be absorbed and practiced, while also maintaining momentum without overwhelming the learner.

Engaging with a private Spanish teacher with Verbalplanet can provide you with focused intensive practice and feedback that accelerates your path to fluency.

About the Spanish language

Choosing to become fluent in Spanish is an exciting journey.

The Spanish language, spoken by over 460 million people as their first language, ranks among the most spoken languages globally. It is the official or national language in 21 countries across Latin America, Spain, and Equatorial Guinea, making it predominant in the Western Hemisphere. For learners, Spanish offers numerous benefits due to its phonetic nature, which makes it relatively straightforward to read and pronounce. Additionally, its status as one of the six official languages of the United Nations highlights its importance in global affairs.

For those embarking on learning Spanish, immersion in its rich cultural expressions through music, film, and literature can provide context and enhance linguistic skills. Understanding regional dialects and slang from various Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina enriches the whole experience and prepares learners for real-world interactions. As Spanish continues to grow in influence, especially in the United States, learning to speak Spanish opens up vast opportunities for personal and professional growth.
