Frequently Asked Questions
What makes B2 different from B1?
B2 is where you transition from "functional" to "sophisticated" Spanish. While B1 lets you handle everyday situations, B2 enables you to discuss abstract concepts, understand complex texts, engage in debates, and communicate spontaneously with native speakers without strain. You'll master imperfect subjunctive, advanced grammar, and develop the nuance and sophistication expected of an educated speaker.
Do I need B1 completion before starting B2?
Absolutely. B2 builds extensively on B1 subjunctive knowledge and requires solid mastery of all intermediate grammar. Attempting B2 without B1 completion leads to frustration and gaps. We require a placement test for students who didn't complete our B1 course to ensure appropriate level placement and success.
How long does it take to complete B2?
The course contains 140 hours of content. With consistent study (1.5-2 hours daily), most students complete B2 in 14-18 weeks. B2 requires significant engagement with authentic materials and regular speaking practice, so some learners prefer a slower pace. You have 10 months of access to accommodate your learning style.
Will I be fluent after B2?
B2 represents upper-intermediate to "fluent" proficiency. You'll communicate spontaneously with native speakers, understand complex discussions, read literature, and express sophisticated ideas. Most people consider B2 graduates "fluent" for practical purposes. While C1/C2 offer native-like mastery, B2 is sufficient for most professional, academic, and personal Spanish needs.
Can I work in Spanish-speaking countries with B2?
Yes! B2 is generally the minimum requirement for professional work in Spanish-speaking countries. It demonstrates you can handle complex workplace communication, understand technical discussions in your field, write professional correspondence, and interact naturally with colleagues and clients. Many international companies and universities require B2 certification for positions or programs.
Does B2 prepare me for DELE B2 exam?
Absolutely! Our B2 course is specifically aligned with DELE B2 standards and includes comprehensive exam preparation. We cover all exam tasks, provide practice tests, teach time-management strategies, and offer personalized feedback. Most students successfully pass DELE B2 within 1-2 months of completing our course.
What's included in the literature component?
You'll read and analyze works from renowned Spanish and Latin American authors including García Márquez, Borges, Allende, Cervantes, and contemporary writers. We provide excerpts, short stories, poetry, and analysis guides. You'll develop literary appreciation skills while expanding vocabulary and cultural understanding. This authentic material exposure is crucial for B2-level sophistication.
