8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Sprachliche Mittel (Wortschatz und Grammatik) & Hörverstehen / Hörsehverstehen

  • Diagnose current grammar and vocabulary level by completing one full eA-style Sprachliche Mittel set under timed conditions and logging every error by category (Tempora, Modus, Präpositionen, Wortschatz).

  • Build a 120-item personal vocabulary list drawn from news and opinion texts, entering each item with a Spanish definition, a German equivalent, and one original example sentence.

  • Establish a daily 15-minute Hörverstehen routine using a 2-3 minute Spanish-language news podcast, listening once for gist and once for detail, noting five keywords per clip.

  • Drill the contrast between indefinido and imperfecto by rewriting ten short narrative paragraphs, marking each verb form and justifying the choice in writing.

  • Set up an error log spreadsheet with columns for date, domain, error type, corrected form, and review date.

Your checkpoint

A completed diagnostic error log plus a 120-entry personal vocabulary sheet with example sentences.

Week 2

Sprachliche Mittel (Wortschatz und Grammatik) & Hörverstehen / Hörsehverstehen

  • Master the subjunctive present and imperfect forms of 40 high-frequency verbs and use them in ten original sentences with expressions of doubt, emotion, and unreal conditions.

  • Complete three timed Sprachliche Mittel cloze or transformation sets and reduce the error rate by at least a third compared with week 1.

  • Train listening for numbers, dates, and proper nouns by transcribing three 90-second audio segments and checking accuracy against the transcript.

  • Consolidate connectors and discourse markers (sin embargo, por consiguiente, a pesar de, en cuanto a) by rewriting five short texts to improve cohesion.

  • Review the week's error log and re-test every item marked incorrect twice.

Your checkpoint

A corrected set of three timed Sprachliche Mittel exercises with a written error-rate comparison against week 1.

Week 3

Hörverstehen / Hörsehverstehen & Leseverstehen

  • Complete two full Hörverstehen mock sections (monologue and dialogue) under exam timing, scoring each and noting which question types cause losses (detail, inference, speaker attitude).

  • Read two 500-700 word Spanish opinion articles and produce a structured summary of 80 words each identifying thesis, two arguments, and conclusion.

  • Practise listening for speaker stance by marking agreement, disagreement, and irony in three interviews and justifying each judgement with a quoted phrase.

  • Build a glossary of 60 topic-specific terms from the articles read (environment, migration, technology, education).

  • Identify the reference words in ten complex sentences (relative pronouns, demonstratives, ellipsis) to sharpen reading comprehension.

Your checkpoint

Two scored Hörverstehen mocks plus two 80-word article summaries with a stance-analysis table.

Week 4

Leseverstehen & Sprachliche Mittel (Wortschatz und Grammatik)

  • Complete two timed Leseverstehen mock sections with mixed question types (multiple choice, true/false with justification, matching headings) and score both.

  • Analyse how distractors are constructed in reading tasks by labelling ten wrong options as paraphrase traps, scope shifts, or inverted meaning.

  • Revise passive voice, reported speech, and conditional sentences through 30 transformation items and log residual errors.

  • Read one literary or journalistic long text of 900 words and answer six self-written comprehension questions in Spanish.

  • Reduce vocabulary errors in the error log by re-testing all items from weeks 1-3.

Your checkpoint

Two scored Leseverstehen mocks with a written distractor analysis of ten items.

Week 5

Schriftlicher Ausdruck / Textproduktion & Leseverstehen

  • Write one full eA-style composition of 250-300 words arguing a position on a current social topic, using a fixed structure (introduction, two arguments with evidence, counterargument, conclusion).

  • Self-correct the composition against a checklist covering register, connectors, verb tense consistency, and agreement, then rewrite it.

  • Read two model-style argumentative texts and extract their structural moves into a reusable outline template of your own wording.

  • Practise summarising a 600-word source text in 100 words without copying phrases, then compare against the original for coverage.

  • Complete one timed Leseverstehen section to maintain reading speed while shifting emphasis to production.

Your checkpoint

A first and revised version of a 300-word argumentative composition with a completed self-correction checklist.

Week 6

Schriftlicher Ausdruck / Textproduktion & Hörverstehen / Hörsehverstehen

  • Write two timed compositions (45 minutes each) on different text types: a comment and a formal letter or email, applying the outline template.

  • Integrate at least eight advanced structures per text (subjunctive, passive, conditional, impersonal se) and verify them in revision.

  • Complete two Hörverstehen sections under full exam conditions and compare scores with week 3 to measure progress.

  • Record yourself delivering a two-minute spoken summary of a listened text and assess fluency, pronunciation, and structure against a rubric.

  • Build a personal phrase bank of 40 academic connectors and argumentation formulas in original wording.

  • Target the two weakest Sprachliche Mittel categories from the error log with 40 focused drill items each.

  • Rewrite the weakest mock composition section focusing on coherence, varying sentence length and avoiding repetition.

  • Proofread three of your own older texts specifically for typical errors (ser/estar, por/para, gender, accents) and correct them without a key.

  • Review the full error log and mark items as mastered, unstable, or unresolved.

  • Complete two short Hörverstehen warm-up sets daily in the final days to maintain listening stamina and rhythm.
