The DELE, or Diplomas de Espanol como Lengua Extranjera, are the official diplomas issued by the Spanish Instituto Cervantes and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science certifying Spanish language proficiency at various levels. These standardized tests are often recognized by companies, government organizations, and educational institutions to identify a person's language ability.
In this program, students will prepare for the exam using a variety of classroom materials and samples from previous years' tests. The course aims to advance student ability in all the linguistic skills including: Reading Comprehension, Written Expression, Grammar, Vocabulary, Auditory Comprehension, and Oral Expression.
The DELE exists in three levels; each corresponds to a certain level described by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages:
B1 - Nivel inicial/Beginner Level
B2 - Nivel intermedio/Intermediate Level
C2 - Nivel superior/Superior Proficiency
For nearly 200 years beginning in 1558, Guanajuato was one of the richest silver producing cities in the world. The city possesses many subterranean passageways and narrow, winding streets that make it truly unique. Brightly painted houses line steep slopes of a ravine that once contained a river. This extremely charming city is culturally very lively and exhibits an energetic, youthful feel. This is due in part to the 15,000 students attending the University of Guanajuato that is known for its art programs. During the last two weeks of October, Guanajuato hosts the Cervantes Arts Festival, attracting famous artists from around the world.
Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico's people and geography. Over 50 different indigenous groups, each with its own language, comprise 28% of Mexico's 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.
