Mauricio is an amazing teacher! His approach is personalised and structured, he prepares homework with exercises for each lesson, checks them and gives feedback. I love that Mauricio combines different types of learning - listening, writing, reading, grammar assignments and creating audio recordings. Thank you, Mauricio!

Carmen is a wonderful person and a great teacher. She divides the class into segments, each one has a specific topic. Carmen explains everything clearly and in details. I enjoy learning, and every time I get a lot of new knowledge. My level of Spanish has improved dramatically in three months of studying.

- Spanish for study
Spanish for university studies
Spanish is one of the main languages of international education. It ranks second in the world by number of native speakers and is among the official languages of the UN.
Academic Significance
In the educational sphere, Spanish provides access to education in more than 1000 universities across Spain and Latin America. The largest academic centers for Spanish language are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca, and Mexico City.
Language Structure in Academic Context Scientific Terminology
Spanish has a well-developed system of scientific and technical terminology. Many terms have Latin origins, which makes them easier to understand for speakers of other European languages.
Academic Writing
Spanish academic style is characterized by:
- Clear sentence structure
- Use of specific scientific constructions
- Formal vocabulary of Latin origin
- Standardized citation forms
System of Language Proficiency Levels for Studies
Academic levels of Spanish are divided into:
- Basic Academic (basic understanding of educational texts)
- Intermediate Academic (working with educational literature)
- Advanced Academic (writing scientific papers)
- Professional Academic (teaching in Spanish)
Higher education is not limited to universities in your city or even country. Knowledge of Spanish opens doors to leading universities in more than twenty countries across North and Latin America. Many of these countries offer opportunities to live and work after graduation.
What level of language proficiency is needed when applying to a Spanish university?
In most cases, Spanish universities require a B2 level, but requirements may vary depending on the university and study program. Here are the specific details:
Minimum Requirements:
- For Bachelor's programs: typically B1-B2
- For Master's programs: B2-C1
- For Doctoral programs: typically C1
Important Nuances:
- Some creative and humanities programs may require C1
- Technical specialties sometimes accept B1 level
- Medical faculties often require C1
- Programs taught in English may not require Spanish at all
The level must be confirmed by one of these certificates:
- DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera)
- SIELE (Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española)
- Certificate from a university language school
Some universities also conduct their own language testing for applicants.
When preparing for admission, several key aspects should be considered:
- Spelling and Fluency. University studies involve a significant amount of work in Spanish, so there won't be time to perfect these skills later.
- Professional Vocabulary. At university, academic and scientific language needed for writing papers and in-depth study of your specialty is more important than conversational speech.
- Features of Formal Communication. The etiquette for communicating with professors and university staff may vary depending on the country, so it's important to study accepted norms in advance.

Questions and answers
Why is it important to learn Spanish?
There are currently approximately 580 million Spanish speakers worldwide; that's 7.6% of the world's population. In fact, Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world and the third most widely used language on the Internet after English and Chinese.
How long does it take to learn Spanish?
It takes the average person between 575 and 600 hours to get from zero to fluent Spanish. Fluency is difficult to determine because everyone progresses at different rates and there are many contributing factors.
Why are the exclamation points and question marks inverted in Spanish?
The inverted question mark was adopted around 1754, when the Royal Academy recommended the use of this symbol to indicate the beginning of a question in written Spanish, such as "¿Cuántos años tienes?" The institution also ordered the same system of inverted symbols for exclamatory expressions using the symbols "¡" and "!"
Does Spanish have dialects?
Spanish spoken in Spain is different from Spanish in Argentina. Spanish is quite varied when it comes to spoken form, varying to different degrees from one country to another, especially in pronunciation and vocabulary. Variations exist not only between European Spanish and Spanish in the Americas, but also in many different dialects of Spain and Latin America.
What is DELE?
DELE is an official document certifying the degree of competence and knowledge of Spanish, issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. It corresponds to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and ranges from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficiency).
