Before choosing a course, there are a few questions worth asking: What is your actual level? How long does it take to make progress? Is it better to join a small group or take private lessons? DELE or SIELE? And above all, what are the specific difficulties faced by French-speaking learners, who have a head start thanks to the similarities between the two languages\u2026 but also a few traps of their own?<\/p>\n<p>This guide, written by the teaching team at ELE USAL Strasbourg, answers these questions in practical terms, with sources to back it up.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #fbe7e7;border-left: 5px solid #d22427;border-radius: 8px;padding: 18px 22px;margin: 24px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Work Sans',sans-serif;font-weight: bold;color: #d22427;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: .05em;margin: 0 0 10px\">The essentials in 30 seconds<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0;padding-left: 20px;line-height: 1.7\">\n<li>The CEFR has <strong>six levels<\/strong>, from A1 to C2, developed by the Council of Europe, whose headquarters are in Strasbourg.<\/li>\n<li>As a rough indication, allow for <strong>around 300 hours of classes<\/strong> to reach the end of B1.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>DELE<\/strong> has indefinite validity; the <strong>SIELE<\/strong> provides a rapid score that is valid for five years.<\/li>\n<li>A certified language-training course may be eligible for <strong>CPF<\/strong> funding.<\/li>\n<li>Common difficulties for French speakers include word stress, <em>ser\/estar<\/em>, the subjunctive and false friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"border-left: 6px solid #d22427;padding-left: 14px;margin-top: 48px\">Why learn Spanish in Strasbourg?<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"color: #99042f;margin-top: 32px\">A global language, far beyond Spain<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spanish is not just the language of Spain.

The same report counts more than 45 million Spanish speakers living in the European Union outside Spain.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: separate;border: none;margin: 20px 0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;padding: 8px;border: none;vertical-align: top\">\n<div style=\"background: #d22427;color: #fff;border-radius: 10px;padding: 20px 14px;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"font-family: 'Work Sans',sans-serif;font-size: 32px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.1;color: #fff\">635 M<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14px;margin-top: 6px;line-height: 1.4;color: #fff\">Spanish speakers worldwide<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;padding: 8px;border: none;vertical-align: top\">\n<div style=\"background: #99042f;color: #fff;border-radius: 10px;padding: 20px 14px;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"font-family: 'Work Sans',sans-serif;font-size: 32px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.1;color: #fff\">520 M<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14px;margin-top: 6px;line-height: 1.4;color: #fff\">native speakers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;padding: 8px;border: none;vertical-align: top\">\n<div style=\"background: #58595b;color: #fff;border-radius: 10px;padding: 20px 14px;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"font-family: 'Work Sans',sans-serif;font-size: 32px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.1;color: #fff\">57.5%<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14px;margin-top: 6px;line-height: 1.4;color: #fff\">of French middle-school pupils study Spanish (2024)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Learning Spanish therefore gives you access to around twenty countries, from Mexico to Argentina, including Cuba and Equatorial Guinea, as well as a huge range of literature, cinema and music. A good course should not lock you into a single variety of Spanish: from intermediate level onwards, you will encounter Spain&#8217;s <em lang=\"es\" style=\"color: #99042f\">vosotros<\/em> alongside the widespread use of <em lang=\"es\" style=\"color: #99042f\">ustedes<\/em> in the Americas, Madrid&#8217;s <em lang=\"es\" style=\"color: #99042f\">coche<\/em> alongside Mexico&#8217;s <em lang=\"es\" style=\"color: #99042f\">carro<\/em>. That is perfectly normal.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish is also a very familiar language in France: it is by far the second most widely studied modern foreign language (LV2) in secondary education, ahead of German and Italian. In 2024, 57.5% of middle-school pupils and 74.8% of students in general and technological upper-secondary programmes studied Spanish (<a style=\"color: #d22427\" href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gouv.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-06\/depp-ni-2025-35-440487.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEPP, French Ministry of Education<\/a>). Many adults who enrol in a Spanish course therefore do not start from scratch: they have school-level foundations, often a little rusty, that need to be reactivated.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #99042f;margin-top: 32px\">Strasbourg, the city where the A1 to C2 levels originated<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is something many people in Strasbourg do not realise: the A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 levels used throughout Europe today come from the Council of Europe, whose headquarters are in Strasbourg. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) was officially launched in 2001, during the European Year of Languages, and a preliminary version had been discussed in Strasbourg in April 1997 (<a style=\"color: #d22427\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coe.int\/fr\/web\/common-european-framework-reference-languages\/history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Council of Europe<\/a>). A Companion Volume, published online in 2018 and then in French in 2021, expanded the descriptors, particularly those relating to mediation and online interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Learning Spanish here therefore means learning with a framework that was developed just a few tram stops away.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border-left: 6px solid #d22427;padding-left: 14px;margin-top: 48px\">Spanish levels from A1 to C2: where are you?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The CEFR describes six levels, grouped into three broad stages: basic user, independent user and proficient user (<a style=\"color: #d22427\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coe.int\/fr\/web\/common-european-framework-reference-languages\/level-descriptions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Council of Europe<\/a>).

In a group of fifteen, each person may speak for only a few minutes per lesson; in a group of six or eight, speaking becomes the norm. Always ask about the maximum group size, the number of teaching hours per session and the textbook used.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #99042f;margin-top: 32px\">Private lessons, in person or online<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Private lessons are particularly suitable for specific objectives: preparing for an interview in Spanish, getting ready for a professional stay in Latin America, or preparing for a DELE exam on a specific date. Their effectiveness depends on structure: a good private lesson is not simply free conversation, but a progression built around objectives, correction and regular reviews.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #99042f;margin-top: 32px\">In person or online: how do you decide?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Online classes save travel time. In-person classes offer greater concentration, spontaneity and human interaction, which can be particularly valuable for speaking practice. A common solution is to take an in-person course and supplement it with occasional online sessions, for example when travelling.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #99042f;margin-top: 32px\">Funding your training with the CPF<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background: #fbe7e7;border-left: 5px solid #d22427;border-radius: 8px;padding: 18px 22px;margin: 24px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px\">Spanish-language training may be funded through the <strong>Compte personnel de formation (CPF)<\/strong> if it is certification-based and provided by a Qualiopi-certified organisation.
