Bulgaria DZI Spanish study plan

Read two short informational Spanish texts (250–350 words each) and annotate the main idea, supporting details, and author's purpose in the margin

Build a personal list of 60 high-frequency academic and exam-register words with a Spanish definition and one original example sentence each

Review present-tense regular and irregular verb forms and write 20 original sentences using them in context

Identify and record the question types used in DZI reading tasks (detail, inference, vocabulary-in-context, author's stance) with one worked example each

Complete four timed reading sets (one informational, one literary) in 35 minutes each and score them against an answer key

Analyze every wrong answer and label the cause as vocabulary gap, misread detail, or faulty inference

Practise past-tense narration (pretérito vs imperfecto) by rewriting ten sentences to shift background and foreground information correctly

Summarize two literary excerpts in 60 words each, preserving tone and key imagery

Read one longer literary text (600+ words) and map its structure: exposition, conflict, turning point, resolution

Revise the draft after self-correction and produce a clean second version

Write two free-production essays (200–250 words) on exam-style prompts within 40 minutes each

Apply a fixed planning routine: brainstorm, outline three points, draft, and reserve five minutes for revision

Integrate ten cohesive devices and check each one is used correctly in context

Self-assess both essays against a four-criterion rubric (task completion, organization, range, accuracy) and list three recurring errors

Listen to eight short Spanish audio clips (2–3 minutes) and answer detail and gist questions after a single hearing

Take structured notes using abbreviations and symbols while listening, then reconstruct the content in five sentences

Transcribe two clips and compare the transcript with what was heard to locate decoding failures

Rewrite one earlier essay focusing only on eliminating the three recurring errors identified in week 5

Complete two full listening mock sections with single-play conditions and score above the target threshold

Record three 2-minute spoken responses to exam-style prompts and evaluate fluency, pronunciation, and grammatical control

Practise five interactive functions aloud: asking for clarification, giving an opinion, agreeing, disagreeing politely, and suggesting

Write one 200-word opinion essay and read it aloud to check rhythm, linking, and pronunciation of difficult clusters

Simulate the complete exam in one sitting, respecting official time limits for each section

Review all error logs and redo the 30 most frequently missed item types
