Which level is
right for me?
Aventuras 1:
This course is perfect for you if...
-
You're a true beginner (you can say "hola" and maybe count to 10 and that's about it...)
-
You took a couple semesters of Spanish in high school or college, but it has been a long time. You remember some words and phrases (maybe even random lists of words, like "airport vocabulary"), but can't put it all together.
-
You're not ready to speak. You can't speak spontaneously in full sentences, even to complete simple tasks.
-
You have a good bit of memorized vocabulary but have trouble stringing words together
-
You are unable to answer simple questions in Spanish:
-
¿Cuántas personas hay en la foto?
-
¿De qué color es la casa?
-
En la foto, ¿la niña está corriendo o bailando? ¿A ti te gusta bailar?
-
¿Cómo se llama la niña?
-
¿Quién tiene la pizza?
-
¿Dónde está el hombre?
-
Aventuras 2:
The Aventuras 2 course is perfect for you if...
-
You can recognize the highest frequency words in context (hay, es, tiene, quiere, puede, va, ve, ya no, todavía, también, etc.)
-
You took at least 2 semesters of Spanish in high school or college and the information is still fresh in your mind. You can form simple sentences in Spanish.
-
You like to experiment with the very basic Spanish that you know. You can string some words together and communicate at a very basic level.
-
You can answer simple questions in Spanish:
-
¿Cuántas personas hay en la foto?
-
¿De qué color es la casa?
-
En la foto, ¿la niña está corriendo o bailando? ¿A ti te gusta bailar?
-
¿Cómo se llama la niña?

Aventuras 3:
The Aventuras 3 course is perfect for you if...
-
You can recognize the highest frequency words in context (hay, es, tiene, quiere, puede, va, ve, ya no, todavía, también, etc.) in both the present and past tenses.
-
You have taken the equivalent of 3-4 semesters of high school or college-level Spanish or at least 40 hours of class with me.
-
You are able to understand long stories in Spanish in both the present and past tenses when the instructor speaks clearly and slowly (with the help of illustrations and gestures).
-
You like to experiment with the Spanish that you know. You have fun stringing words together to see what you can communicate.
Aventuras 4:
The Aventuras 4 course is perfect for you if...
-
You are able to speak about a variety of topics (albeit imperfectly) using the most-frequently used words in Spanish (hay, es, tiene, quiere, puede, va, ve, ya no, todavía, también, etc.) in both the present and past tenses (sometimes confusing verb forms).
-
You have taken the equivalent of 4 semesters of high school or college-level Spanish or at least 80 hours of class with me (or you have been doing a lot of at-home reading and listening in Spanish along with taking classes).
-
You are able to understand long stories in Spanish in both the present and past tenses (with the help of drawings and gestures for lower-frequency words).
-
You like to experiment with the Spanish that you know. You can retell a story that you have heard and hold a semi-fluid basic conversation about a variety of familiar topics.
