You have four weeks until the DELE A2 exam. This is a realistic, intensive plan — not a wishlist. It assumes you can dedicate 2–3 hours daily (plus a longer block on weekends). If you have less time, stretch the weeks; if more, double down on speaking and listening.
This roadmap sequences resources to build skills incrementally. You'll start with diagnostic tests, then move through grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking in a deliberate order. By week four, you'll be doing full mock exams under timed conditions.
Week 1: Foundation & Diagnostic
Goal: Identify your weakest areas and solidify basic grammar.
- Day 1: Take a free DELE A2 demo mock to find out where you stand: <a href="/demo">Try the demo →</a>
- Day 2–3: Review mock results. Focus on the sections where you scored lowest. Use the Instituto Cervantes A2 grammar guide (free PDF) to cover: present tense, preterite vs imperfect, and basic subjunctive triggers.
- Day 4–5: Build a core vocabulary deck of 200 words using Anki or Quizlet. Prioritize: daily routines, travel, food, and family.
- Day 6: Listening practice — 30 minutes of slow Spanish podcasts (e.g., Duolingo Spanish Podcast or Notes in Spanish). Transcribe 5 short sentences.
- Day 7: Writing task: write a 100-word email describing your weekend. Use past tenses.
Daily hours: 2 hours (weekdays), 3 hours (weekend).
Week 2: Skill Building & Input
Goal: Improve comprehension and expand output.
- Day 8–9: Grammar deep-dive: comparatives, superlatives, and direct/indirect object pronouns. Practice with 20 fill-in-the-blank exercises.
- Day 10–11: Reading — read two A2-level short stories (from Cuentos para A2 or similar). Summarize each in 3–4 sentences.
- Day 12: Listening — watch a 10-minute episode of Extra en español (free on YouTube) with Spanish subtitles. Write down 10 new phrases.
- Day 13: Speaking — record yourself answering 5 common DELE A2 speaking prompts (e.g., describing a photo, talking about your job). Listen and note errors.
- Day 14: Writing — write a 150-word letter to a friend describing a recent trip. Use past and future tenses.
Daily hours: 2.5 hours.
Week 3: Mock Tests & Weakness Targeting
Goal: Simulate exam conditions and fix remaining gaps.
- Day 15: Take a full DELE A2 timed mock (reading + listening). Score it honestly.
- Day 16–17: Review every mistake. Categorize them: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, or time management. Drill the grammar topics you got wrong.
- Day 18: Speaking practice — find a language partner (iTalki, HelloTalk) or use the DELE A2 speaking simulator on LanguageTest.in. Do two full speaking tasks.
- Day 19: Writing — write a 200-word essay on a given topic (e.g., "Describe your favorite holiday"). Have a tutor or AI check it.
- Day 20: Listening — do two listening exercises from DELE past papers. Aim for 80%+ accuracy.
- Day 21: Review all vocabulary decks. Add 50 new words related to health, work, and leisure.
Daily hours: 3 hours.
Week 4: Sprint & Final Mocks
Goal: Build stamina and confidence.
- Day 22: Take another full mock (reading + listening + writing). Score and review.
- Day 23–24: Focus on speaking: record yourself answering 10 prompts. Practice with a timer (2 minutes per response).
- Day 25: Writing — do two timed writing tasks (150–200 words each). Focus on structure: introduction, body, conclusion.
- Day 26: Light review — go through your error log and vocabulary deck. No new material.
- Day 27: Rest or very light listening (Spanish music, TV).
- Day 28: Final mock exam under real conditions (no pauses, strict timing).

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the diagnostic. Without knowing your baseline, you waste time on what you already know.
- Ignoring listening. DELE A2 listening is fast and includes accents. Practice daily.
- Not timing writing. Many candidates run out of time in the writing section. Always use a timer.
- Memorizing without context. Learn phrases, not isolated words.
