Where to Start Learning Spanish

A study path through all 213 lessons, step by step.

This page puts the 213 lessons on the site in a study order. There are four steps: Beginner (A1), Elementary (A2), Intermediate (B1) and Upper intermediate (B2). If you do not know your level, take the level test first.

How to use the path

  1. Find your step. Start with Beginner if Spanish is new to you.
  2. Follow the order. The lessons in a step build on the ones before them.
  3. Do the quiz at the end of each lesson. A finished quiz marks the lesson as completed.
  4. Or press "Mark lesson as completed". The button is at the end of every lesson.
  5. Mix grammar with vocabulary. One grammar lesson and two vocabulary lessons make a good week.

Not sure about your level? The level test has 100 questions in five sections, from A1 to C1.
