DELE and SIELE: getting a Spanish certificate in Ireland

The DELE, issued by the Instituto Cervantes, is the reference Spanish diploma, from A1 to C2; the SIELE is a computer-based alternative with faster results. The Instituto Cervantes in Dublin runs exam sessions several times a year, so learners in County Mayo usually travel there for the day.

A tutor preparing you for DELE B1 or B2 works on the four papers and on the mix of accents you will hear. Allow roughly three months of steady lessons between two levels at a sensible pace.

Spanish tutors: three ways to make progress

One session a week over the year

The most common rhythm for adults: it keeps motivation alive and moves you up roughly one level a year, provided you practise a little between lessons.

A boost before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, centred on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news, your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Spanish tutors in Ballina: frequently asked questions

Should I learn the Spanish of Spain or Latin American Spanish?

Choose the variety you will use most. Grammar is almost the same; vocabulary and pronunciation differ a little. A good tutor of either variety will point out the differences, and the DELE accepts both.

Is Spanish easy for English speakers to learn?

It is one of the most accessible languages for English speakers: regular spelling, many shared words and clear pronunciation. Most adults hold simple conversations after three to four months of weekly lessons.
