Online Spanish course C2 for self-study with continuous teacher support
We have designed the online Spanish course C2 for students with a high level of Spanish proficiency, who express themselves fluently and correctly in the language, who wish to continue perfecting their Spanish with a flexible course at their own pace with a structured course and who want the support of the teacher.
It is also an ideal course for bilingual students and students who have Spanish as a heritage language who wish to practice Spanish more.
Students who have completed their C1 course at CELA can continue with the C2 course.
The course material consists of 12 lessons in which we offer between 12 and 15 varied and entertaining exercises. At this level we still explain grammar topics, but from the perspective of teaching grammar to native Spanish speakers. Many exercises have solutions for checking and others must be sent to the teacher by e-mail. We have selected a large amount of video material such as video lectures, television programmes, videos from the press and videos from different Spanish speakers on various topics of common interest to do listening, speaking and writing exercises. We read a book together during the course. We include various types of texts and work with opinion articles. Audio exercises are sent by voice message and written exercises are sent by e-mail for correction and comment by the teacher.
At the end of this page there is a video in which we show what the lessons are like.
The course costs US$260 and includes the course material (12 lessons), teacher support via email and voicemail, and the certificate. The certificate is obtained after completing the course and a short oral exam via videoconference.
Students who wish to complete their course with some oral practice can do so in our live classes via videoconference.
These classes cost US$25 per hour of 60 minutes.

This course is for students over 18 years of age who speak Spanish fluently and understand almost all Spanish speakers. The course is entirely in Spanish and the grammar topics are focused on the native Spanish speaker. CELA students who have completed C1 can continue with this course.

The course does not have a set duration. In total, it takes about 240 hours of study to complete it. We recommend taking the course slowly in order to assimilate the content and enjoy the course content.

A computer or tablet is required as there are many writing exercises in the course. We believe that it is not possible to follow the course only on a cell phone.

You also need internet access to watch the videos and send the assignments by email and WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram.

The teacher and author of the course material is Dr. Sabine Loffler, director of CELA, PhD in Hispanic Philology from UNED, specialist in Adult Education and Spanish teacher since 1992. Spanish is her mother tongue because she grew up and lives in Venezuela. She speaks English, German and Italian.
