Our Methodology at Camino Barcelona
Passing the DELE exam requires more than just general Spanish knowledge. It requires mastering the precise format, time management, and task requirements of the test. Our DELE preparation methodology combines comprehensive language refinement with intensive exam strategy:
Format & Strategy Training
You will break down every section of the exam, learning how to structure your written essays, manage time effectively during reading and listening components, and respond accurately to task prompts.
Simulated Oral Exams
Because oral expression can be daunting, you will participate in simulated speaking tests with our certified examiners, receiving immediate feedback on vocabulary range, grammatical accuracy, and fluency.
Mock Testing & Error Analysis
You will complete official past exam papers under strict time limits, followed by detailed individual feedback to eliminate recurring mistakes and boost your final score.
Our teachers for DELE Preparation Course are official DELE examinators, frequently asked to prepare the DELE tests as well as being selected for the examination board for DELE exams. All of them received special training in conducting DELE Preparation Course. They will not only help you to improve your level of Spanish, but also explain the features of the exam, prepare you for the common tasks and mistakes and give you effective advice for the best performance!
How long does it take to complete DELE A2 level on this course?
A student who is a complete beginner would need to attend an Intensive Course (20 lessons/week) of a minimum of 8 weeks, followed by a 4-week DELE Examination Preparation Course in order to stand a good chance of passing the DELE A2 Exam. Depending on your level of Spanish and on which of the DELE exams you wish to take, you may or may not need to attend an Intensive Spanish Course at our school before starting the DELE Examination Preparation Course.
