The learning behind it.
The DELE is the internationally recognised Spanish diploma awarded by the Instituto Cervantes. Students work in two streams, A2–B1 and B1–B2, with DELE preparation workshops, a city tour in Spanish only and tapas with local university students, in a city where they have to use their Spanish every day. Where an official exam session can be scheduled, students sit the DELE during the stay. The same programme runs in Madrid or Barcelona.
