DELE Exam Preparation Program

The DELE (Diplomas de Español Lengua Extranjera) are official qualifications accrediting levels of competence and command of the Spanish language, granted by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport of Spain. DELE exams are designed following the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) of the Council of Europe. Our preparatory courses are not intended to improve their Spanish but prepare for an accreditation corresponding to their level. At our school, the teachers are ready and trained to offer the preparation for the DELE exam. We have the tools and materials for that purpose.

"A comfortable way to study Spanish abroad"

Beverly Viilo, student from USA

I liked the friendly atmosphere of the school. I liked the ease of enrolling and the accommodating and flexible response to all my requests. I liked the opportunity to practice speaking often. I liked the games and activities we played such as debating a topic we had researched or telling an impromptu story using the day’s new vocabulary words. We had just the right amount of homework: a worksheet to gain new vocabulary, a writing assignment to use transition connectors or an assignment to watch a movie to practice listening skills.
The administrator took time to learn my interests and to suggest corresponding activities. He also made many helpful recommendations regarding travel plans and money exchange and restaurants.
This was my second time attending the school.

"Excellent!!!!"

Aksana Fitzpatrick

Loved my time at Casa Spanish Academy! I have gone there to study twice on my consecutive trips to Buenos Aires, and I went from zero Spanish to being able to hold a conversation. The atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming, there are after school events for students so you get to explore the city and hang out together. I highly recommend the school to anyone who comes to BA and wants to learn the language.
