Finding your starting point
Natalislang teaches all levels from complete beginner to advanced. The four levels below follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) — the international standard used by universities, employers and language schools worldwide.
Read through the descriptions and find the one that best matches what you can currently do in Spanish. If you are between levels, choose the lower one — it is always better to consolidate than to rush ahead.

A note on international examinations
Natalislang is not an exam preparation school.
Our programmes focus on real communication — speaking, understanding and using Spanish confidently in everyday life and professional contexts.
In special circumstances, we can incorporate exam preparation materials into a private programme for students who need to work towards a specific certification. However, this is not our core offering and we recommend being transparent about this from the start.
If your primary goal is to pass an international Spanish examination, we are happy to discuss whether our approach is the right fit for you before you commit to a programme.
