These diplomas are the most important accreditation of a student’s Spanish level and many Spanish universities ask for it in order to accept foreigners who wish to study there. They are internationally recognized not only among educational institutions, but also in the business world.

Students can take 6 levels:

  • Diploma in Spanish Level C2: Mastery

D.E.L.E. exams can be held three times per year: in May, August and November. At this moment you can enroll in the August session by following this link. Remember that you have time only until July 26th!
Instituto Mediterráneo Sol offers courses leading to this exam. They are specific and based on the 5 tests of the exam where these fields are trained: oral expression, reading comprehension, use of language and writing. Here you can download sample examination papers.

Activity program at Imsol

At our Spanish school in Granada, Imsol, not only students take Spanish courses to learn and improve their Spanish. Actually we organize daily activities so that students can follow their learning in a more relaxing way.

This week we proposed this program:

 "Niño de las Pinturas"'s Painting
Monday: Guided tour discovering the Graffiti area in Granada. The most known Graffiti painter in Granada is the so called "Niño de las Pinturas", whose paintings decor many walls of the city. His style is unmistakable as well as his details: children, aged people, wheels...

Tuesday: Guided tour to Alhambra with our professional guide, Juan, who every student loves.

Wednesday: Extra lesson of grammar, very useful to review some topics. This week the teacher focused on verbs that need prepositions and adjectives that complete their meanings.

Thursday: Extra lesson about Spanish short movies. This week the teacher prepared a class on two short movies, “Éramos pocos” and “El número”. After watching them students talks about them on the basis of some questions and exercises.

Friday: Movie at school. This week we showed “Los abrazos Rotos” (Broken Embraces, Almodóvar, 2009). Almodóvar is maybe the most known Spanish filmmaker and here at Imsol we almost have all his movies!!

Tomorrow, Saturday, we propose a tour to the Tropical Coast with our guide Juan. In this trip students can visit Almuñécar, Nerja (with the caves) and Frigiliana and have time for a bath and relaxing on the beach.

See you next week with another cultural program!!
