The exam

What the Spanish DELE A2 exam involves

The DELE A2 is the level A2 Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language, issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of Spain's Ministry of Education. Passing the DELE A2, together with the CCSE test, is one of the language requirements to apply for Spanish nationality by residence. The diploma has indefinite validity.

What are the parts of the DELE A2 exam?

The exam (versión 2020) has four tests, and this app practises all of them.

  • Comprensión de lectura (Reading): 60 minutes, 4 tasks, 25 items, multiple choice and matching on everyday texts.
  • Comprensión auditiva (Listening): 40 minutes, 4 tasks, 25 items, short conversations, radio messages and announcements (played twice).
  • Expresión e interacción escritas (Writing): 45 minutes, 2 tasks, a reply message and a short composition.
  • Expresión e interacción orales (Speaking): 12 minutes plus 12 minutes preparation, 3 tasks, a topic presentation, a photo description and a simulated dialogue.

How do you pass the DELE A2?

The four tests are grouped into two groups of 50 points. You need at least 30 out of 50 in each group: Group 1 (Reading + Writing) and Group 2 (Listening + Speaking). If either group falls below 30 the result is NO APTO, even if the overall total is above 60. The final result is only APTO or NO APTO.

What level do you need for Spanish nationality?

For nationality by residence the required level is A2 of the Common European Framework (CEFR). Nationals of Spanish-speaking countries are generally exempt from the DELE requirement. This app practises at A2. Always check the current requirements on the official pages.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need the DELE A2 for Spanish nationality?

For nationality by residence you must pass two Instituto Cervantes tests: the DELE at level A2 or higher, and the CCSE (constitutional and sociocultural knowledge). Nationals of Spanish-speaking countries are generally exempt from the DELE; certain official Spanish language certificates can also satisfy the requirement.

How is the DELE A2 scored?

Each of the four skills is worth 25 points (100 total). The skills form two groups of 50: Reading+Writing and Listening+Speaking. You need at least 30/50 in each group to be APTO. Falling below 30 in either group means NO APTO even if the total exceeds 60.

Does the app cover writing and speaking?

Yes. It includes writing tasks (a reply message and a short composition) with graded model answers, and speaking tasks (topic presentation, photo description and simulated dialogue) with spoken model examples. You record yourself on your device and self-assess against a rubric; nothing is uploaded and there is no AI grading.

Does this app work offline?

Yes. All questions, flashcards and audio are stored on your device. No account, no login and no internet connection are needed after download, and it is a single one-time purchase with no subscription.

Who writes these questions, and how do you check the answers are right?

Every question, text, audio script and model answer is original, written by RiverMap Learning to match only the publicly documented DELE A2 (versión 2020) format. Before it ships, a second, independent AI model from a different family confirms each answer against its source, and a human reviews anything the two models disagree on. You can read the full process at rivermaplearning.com/how-we-build-questions, and the free sample questions above let you judge the quality before you buy.

Is this the official DELE app?

No. This is an independent practice app. All questions, texts, audio and model answers are original and follow only the publicly documented DELE A2 format. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Instituto Cervantes, the Universidad de Salamanca or Spain's Ministry of Education. For official information and registration, visit examenes.cervantes.es.
