How quickly will I learn Spanish?

There is no simple and easy answer to this as everyone is different. The following chart gives you a rough idea of how many weeks it usually takes to go from one level to the next – from total beginner (A1) all the way to fluent (C2).

Our group classes follow the CEFR levels (A1 to C2), and with consistent study, you’ll see steady progress week by week. Everyone learns at their own pace, but with a long-term intensive Spanish course in Costa Rica we estimate that most students can achieve conversational fluency (B2) over 6-9 months. Read more here.

What can I expect to achieve at each level?
