DELE A1 study plan

Memorize and self-test the 200 highest-frequency A1 words (numbers 0-100, days, months, family, food, places, classroom objects) to at least 80% accuracy.

Read three 80-120 word A1 texts per day (notices, menus, short emails) and answer five literal who/what/where/when questions on each.

Listen to ten 1-minute slow-Spanish clips per week and write the single key fact (who, what, where, when, price) for each.

Set up a fixed 15-minute daily listening slot using slow, scripted Spanish audio with transcript.

Distinguish and translate the ten core question words (qué, quién, dónde, cuándo, cuánto, cuál, cómo, cuántos, por qué, para qué) in context.

Scan short A1 texts for specific data (prices, times, addresses, dates) without reading every word, in under 60 seconds per text.

Transcribe 40 spoken numbers, prices, and clock times from dictation with at least 85% accuracy.

Identify the topic of a 1-minute dialogue from the first two sentences in 8 of 10 attempts.

Complete two full A1 reading task sets (5-6 short texts each) in 25 minutes with at least 70% correct.

Complete two full A1 listening task sets in 20 minutes with at least 65% correct.

Pronounce the Spanish alphabet, digraphs (ll, rr, ch), and word stress rules aloud, recording yourself and re-recording until the reading is fluent.

Deliver a 3-minute spoken self-introduction covering name, age, nationality, family, work, and daily routine, memorized but not read.

Write five 60-80 word messages (invitation, apology, request, thank-you, giving directions) using present tense and hay/estar correctly.

Fill in a personal information form and a simple registration form with 100% field accuracy, including dates and spelling of names.

Answer ten personal questions orally (family, home, work, free time) in complete sentences within 15 seconds each.

Describe one photo or one familiar scene aloud for 60 seconds using at least eight nouns and five adjectives.

Write three short emails (40-70 words) that each perform two functions, e.g. inviting and asking a question.

Connect sentences with the core connectors (y, pero, porque, también, primero, después) in every written task.

Role-play eight A1 interaction scenarios (shopping, ordering food, asking for directions, booking a room) with a speaking partner or self-recording both turns.

Self-correct filler errors by listening to your own recordings and marking every long pause or English word used.

Re-read all personal vocabulary and mark the 60 words you still miss; drill them to 95% accuracy.

Complete one timed reading set and one timed listening set per week with scores logged and compared to week 3.

Practise the oral exam format end to end (monologue, description, dialogue) twice, keeping to real time limits.

Summarize a 90-second A1 audio in three spoken sentences within 30 seconds of hearing it.

Take one complete timed mock exam across all four domains under real conditions with no dictionary or pauses.

Rewrite the three weakest written answers from the mock, focusing on verb endings and agreement.

Re-record the oral tasks from the mock, cutting hesitation markers by half.

Review every incorrect reading and listening item and write down why the correct answer was correct.

Take a second complete timed mock exam and compare section scores to week 7.

Rehearse the oral exam three times with a timer, including the 15-second preparation phase.

Review only the personal error list and the 60 high-frequency words; add no new material.

Simulate exam-day logistics: confirm timing, required documents, and the order of sections.
