Language Exam Study Guide

DELE B2 (Spanish) + CELGA 2 (Galician)

A study guide covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam-specific strategy for two language certifications:

• DELE B2 — Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera, upper-intermediate Spanish (Instituto Cervantes).
• CELGA 2 — Certificado de Lingua Galega, B1 Galician (Xunta de Galicia).

These are study materials, not a schedule. Work through modules at whatever pace fits. Each file stands on its own.

Suggested Order

If starting fresh, most learners benefit from:

1. Diagnostic test (07_Exam_Prep/DIAGNOSTIC_TEST.md) — identify weak areas.
2. Grammar modules in order — these build on each other.
3. Vocabulary modules alongside grammar, not after.
4. Skill-specific modules (reading, writing, listening, speaking) once grammar basics are solid.
5. Worksheets and past papers in the weeks before the exam.

Cheatsheets are reference material — use them for quick review, not initial learning.
