No prerequisites. This course is designed for complete beginners and students with very little knowledge.

You don’t have to master the topics in A1.1 perfectly, but they shouldn’t be entirely new to you either. You should be able to form sentences on your own and talk about yourself and others (ideas, preferences, job, family…).

You don’t have to have a perfect command of the topics up to and including A1.2, but they shouldn’t be entirely new to you either. You should be able to speak freely in simple sentences and at least theoretically know the perfect tense.

You don’t have to master all the topics in A1 completely and to perfection, but they shouldn’t be entirely new to you either. You should be able to speak freely (with some errors acceptable) in the present and make your wishes and problems understandable in everyday situations. Ideally, you can also express yourself to some extent in the past.

Du musst die Themen bis inklusive A2.1 nicht perfekt beherrschen, aber sie sollten auch nicht komplett neu für dich sein.
Du kannst Frei in der Gegenwart sprechen und in Alltagssituationen, deine Wünsche und Probleme verständlich machen. Du kennst die Formen von Indefinido, Imperfecto und Perfecto bereits, du machst aber noch Fehler bei der Bildung der Formen. Du hast noch nicht gelernt, wann das Indefinido im Vergleich zum Imperfecto benutzt wird.

You can converse freely in Spanish. You speak fluently in the present and mostly without errors. In the past, you can speak fluently, but you still make mistakes. You have learned all the past tenses at least once (Perfecto, Indefinido, Imperfecto, Pluscuamperfecto), but you are still having difficulties, particularly with the correct application and the differences in usage. Although you have already learned the imperatives, you still make mistakes when using them spontaneously. You haven’t learned the subjunctive yet.

You don’t have to master the topics up to and including B1.1 perfectly, but they shouldn’t be completely new to you either.

Although you have learned all the past tenses at least once (Perfecto, Indefinido, Imperfecto, Pluscuamperfecto), they still need to be consolidated. You know the forms of the subjuntivo in the present tense, and you understand how to use the subjuntivo theoretically, but you still lack practice in using the subjuntivo. In this mode, you don’t yet know any tenses other than the present (Presente de Subjuntivo).

You don’t have to master all the topics in A2 completely and to perfection, but they shouldn’t be completely new to you either.

You can converse in Spanish in almost all situations without getting into trouble. You can read original texts, lead discussions, and tell and understand jokes and anecdotes. You know all the indicative tenses (Presente, Perfecto, Indefinido, Imperfecto, Pluscuamperfecto, Futuro Compuesto, Futuro Simple, Futuro Perfecto) and can use them when speaking spontaneously, even if small mistakes creep in from time to time in the past tenses.

You know the forms and use of the subjunctive in the present tense, even if the use still needs to be consolidated. You know how to form the Imperfecto de Subjuntivo, but you can’t yet use it spontaneously.

From B2 onwards, it is possible to take the courses in a rotated order, as the content is no longer strictly based on one another. Although we recommend the order B2.1-B2.2-B2.3, it is also possible to take the courses in the order B2.2-B2.3-B2.1 or B2.3-B2.1-B2.2, etc., to visit.

You can express yourself clearly and structured in Spanish in all life situations without getting into difficulties. You can also read complex original texts on various topics, engage in discussions, and tell and understand jokes and anecdotes. You are familiar with all tenses of the indicative (Presente, Perfecto, Indefinido, Imperfecto, Pluscuamperfecto, Futuro Compuesto, Futuro Simple, Futuro Perfecto) and can apply them correctly when speaking spontaneously.

You are knowledgeable about the forms and usage of the subjunctive in all its tenses (Presente, Imperfecto, Perfecto, Pluscuamperfecto), and you make almost no mistakes when using it in spontaneous speech. However, you still want to refine nuances, such as specific technical vocabulary and certain specific applications of grammar.
