51 Advanced Test your Spanish C1 C2 Proficiency. LightSpeed Spanish 

Estoy de acuerdo con cynthia. Si es un video en nivel avanzado no necesitamos más ingles, sino más oportunidades de practicar español!

This was a very enlightening video. My parents are immigrants, and Spanish is my first language. However, being raised in and educated in the United States my entire life has made it difficult to be exposed to native Spanish speakers. This always frustrated me because I was only able to maintain a conversational level of Spanish with a limited vocabulary. I decided almost one and a half years ago to immerse myself in Spanish as much as possible by changing all of my devices to Spanish and visiting Honduras as often and as long as possible to the point that I have achieved C1 and approaching C2 in that time. While I did not get every question correct, I got 9/12 which I think is still pretty good. I still make verb conjugation mistakes and have words that I have to look up because I've never been exposed, but while I was visiting Honduras last time, some family friends I had never met before thought I spoke Spanish so well that they couldn't tell I was from the United States. That was when it became clear that I am as close to native as I've ever been, and I am very proud of that.

Soy español y al igual que yo me estoy preparando para sacarme el C2 de inglés, me alegra ver que la gente tiene ganas de aprender este idioma y sobre todo aspirar a tener el máximo nivel. Ya solo por mostrar interés en el español os doy la enhorabuena a todos. Por cierto obtuve 12/12 😜

As a native speaker I obviously got a 12/12 but the last ones were really hard and I probably wouldn't know how to explain the reason of they being the correct ones XD tenses in spanish are really difficult for a non-native

I'm a B2 level but decided to take the quiz for fun. I got 5/12 right. Unacceptable! I'll have to start improving my Spanish skills to level up. Thank you for the great content, guys!

I love that I found this channel! I had a low level of education of Spanish from school, but by learning through my boyfriend (Dominican) I can speak such random “advanced” phrases, while at the same time completely failing other “advanced” phrases that involve heavy grammar. Definitely going to study more 📚

quiz 1 (A1,A2): 12/13; quiz 2 (B1, B2): 10/12 ; quiz 3: (C1, C2) : 11/12. as I said before, learning a language is not a linear process... missed # 6, but got # 10 right on intuition.

Question number 5 was interesting. Thanks for explaining the difference between "para" and "por" in this instance. Subtle but meaningful. The rest of them were straightforward.

Obtuve 9/12, aunque no he aprendido mucho el español de España (me equivoqué las preguntas 4 y 5, por ejemplo). No tuve ningún problema en elegir el tenso corecto para las que necesitaron el subjuntivo. ¡Este video me da confíanza en llegar al nivel C1 muy pronto!

I got 8/12 in the B1/B2 and 8/12 the C1/C2. We've been studying a lot of subjuntivo recently, think I need to revise some B2 stuff. Never heard of the lo cuentes/sepas o no structure. Thanks guys!

I was glad to see that you allowed answer A. in number 5. Too many posters in the Spanish forum seem inflexible about certain grammar usages, I believe. (I enjoy the rapport that you have between each other.)

I can´t believe I founded you in RU-vid, I do recognice your voice from your podcast!! Loved your face!!

I will never forget your "por" vs. "para" lesson I watched in my early days. Especially for the line "Para is the arrow. But because I'm from the north, I can say 'para is the arrah'"

Quiz 1: 13/13, quiz 2: 10/12, quiz 3: 9/12 I'm certainly not at a C level but this was fun! Would love some more

Quiz 1 (A1,A2) 9/13. Quiz 2 (B1,B2) 9/12 Quiz 3 (C1,C2). 6/12 Well the great part of these quizzes is I know were I need to work on. Thank you so much!! 😁

The new one for me was the 'para algo, lo de algo' structure which is actually quite useful!

Gracias Chicos! Son lo más! Cometí un par de errores, lo de “ser capaz” y “también con “para buena fiesta…” pero me encantó el examen. Gracias ☺️

Thanks. I just bought the Kindle edition of your Por and Para book . Easy to read with lots and lots of examples, along with tests to see if you really understand. Yes, I can recommend this book for all the others struggling to solve the great Por y Para mystery.

I've learned spanish from "las novelas" , years ago, when I was a kid. Spanish is such a beautiful language! I've got 6 out of 12, it's not bad. Gracias, Fernando Colunga! 😅 Great video, by the way!

Thank you so much for this! I did like that you explained it in English too since it is so technical, I like to be sure I am understanding it completely. Please make more of these!

I was nervous for this one, but I did well! I only missed two! However I missed 3 on the previous B2 test. I'm not sure what level that would mean for me, but I'm proud of myself. BTW, the subjunctive questions were so easy after working through your book twice. Thanks guys!

I took spanish in school but it's been years since i've used it.. so i was intrigued to see where i am and took the 3 quizes on the channel... (A1,A2): 13/13; (B1, B2): 10/12 ; (C1, C2) : 11/12. so yeah i'd say i'm still somewhere around B2 if i would find myself having to use it on a daily basis i am sure that i would get even better.. reading and listening (understanding) is not a problem.. speaking without overthinking every word is something else

Soy hablante nativo (argentino) y dije 《Estoy para ir a tomar un café》 porque yo entendí que estaba al punto de salir, no que tenía ganas. Me alegro que aceptaron las dos respuestas como correctas

To anyone that feels discouraged by their ability to answer these questions: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, but then I went almost 7 years without speaking/using Spanish. I've forgotten a lot of the more complex or less frequently used grammar rules (especially subjunctive rules). I'm now almost done with a Masters program in project management at a Mexican university with all but 2 of the courses taught in Spanish. I have around a 98% average in the program with just a few courses left. Never let forgetting more obscure grammar rules keep you from jumping into conversations or learning opportunities. While it's good to try to speak completely proper Spanish, you'll be able to understand and be understood if you're close enough.

I'm pretty happy, I got 10/12 as a second language speaker, which is much better than I expected and helped me be a bit more confident!

si este ejercicio es de nivel c1/c2, me hace muy feliz porque les he adivinado todas 😉

As someone who is thinking about studying for C1 it was interesting to use this as a way to gauge where I’m at and have a rough idea of the things I need to cover next. I am happy to report I got 7/12 (8 if I count question 5 where I chose para, which I chose for the reasons you explained in the video). It’s actually so cool how bilingual you both are as well!

9 out of 12 so can't be bad..some of them I had to use my gut instinct, which turned out right. Thanks guys I really enjoyed that! Cant wait to check out the book!

Well, I'm a little late to this party, but I gotta say that I really enjoyed this and also listening to your beautiful Spanish! (I love the gorgeous Spanish from Spain accent.) And, wow, after 30 years of speaking Spanish, I'm still learning. I'm not going to forget "lo cuentes o no" either. Thanks and I just subscribed. -from a Kentuckian who began learning Spanish 30 years ago from the best high school Spanish teacher ever ❤)

Logré 8 de 12 correcto. No sé si debería sentir feliz o frustrado. Me tropecé por número 4, 5, 9, 11.

Me he encantado hacer esta prueba. Mismo que he faltaba la mitad de las preguntas, las explicaciones tienen sentido, y pronto o tarde voy llegar a esta nivela....Gracias

I didn't do very well, but that's some GREAT teaching there! Thanks a lot for making it!

Love those test videos! Please do more videos like these. They will go viral like crazy! Muchas gracias!

Miraculously, I got 11, but I couldn't give a grammatical reason-despite being an English teacher!

For anyone who’s struggling about this… don’t worry. There were few questions whatever you say is good. There’s a good way of speaking and there’s a way we really speak. Native speakers don’t pay too much attention to this details

I'm intermediate level. I got 5 correct answers but they're honest and well fought.😂 Now i'm excited to really dive deeper en mi viaje de aprendizaje del Español. I really enjoyed this video. Gracias!

Surprised I got 6/12 after not taking Spanish for many years. (Took 4 years in high school, but never became fluent) A couple others I was really close (I knew exactly which tense I wanted, but I just couldn’t remember which conjugation that actually corresponded to) Proud that I managed to get #10 “Lo cuentes o no”… It just sounded the best, after thinking in Spanish for a bit Gracias por su vídeo!

Me encanta este video. He estado aprendiendo español por muchos años pero todavía esas preguntas eran difíciles. ¡Muy bien!

Latinos : Sé me callo la llave Españoles : Oh dios mio y la virgen María, las llaves se me han caído!!

I got very depressed when I missed 4,5,6 in a row! I actually got a little pissed off. However, I collected myself and just kept going and damn if I didn't get all the rest correct! Again, we learn more with our mistakes although I would most likely gut someone if they said that to me when I failed the exam. "Well, we learn more--" STFU!

Wow .. Otra Video maravilloso!! Me ha gustado muchísimo aunque no salió muy bien para mi , pero bueno he aprendido un Montón de cosas nuevas :) Awesome , awesome teaching guys, thank you so much for your great work!! Saludos de Canada ;)

Yall are adorable. I've tested C1 in other tests, but I didn't know any of the -ese endings that were in several of these questions. I looked them up and learned they are used mainly in Spain instead of hubiera. Ahh, ahora entiendo. Aprendí en EEUU, CRica y Mexico. I hope to spend more time in Spain tho, so is good for me to learn some Spanish Spanish! I actually got "lo cuentes o no" question correct tho!

I got 10/12! I'm so grateful for your vids, greetings from Italy! ❤️

Me sorprendì obtuve mejores resultados en esta prueba que en la prueba B1 y B2. Obtuve ocho de doce. Solo obtuve cuatro de doce con la prueba B1 y B2 😢. No aprendì el subjuntivo hasta que escuchè tus videos. Disfruto tus videos me permiten practicar mis habilidades de escuchar, què es me càida.

9/12 me voy a llorar 😥 Estudio el castellano desde solo 2 años. (Aquí en el cole tenemos que estudiar dos idiomas, para mi el inglés y el alemán). El francés seguramente me ayudó!

9/12 but the 9 correct were educated guesses. I would have been 0/12 if the questions were fill in the blank instead of multiple choice. I'll grade myself somewhere in the B1-B2 range.

Yes! I have just returned to this after about a year and got just one wrong ! I am thrilled !

well im B2 and i was afraid to take it but i brought half of them right and i learned alot thank u so muvh for sharing

POR Y PARA -¡Menudo libro tan útil!

Got them all right!

I found this easier than the A1/A2 test 🤦🏾‍♂️😂 Learnt a lot of new little things though, thank youu 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Me ha gustado este test! Completé 10 de las 12 frases de forma correcta.

DIOS MIO, QUE ESPANOLA TAN CALLIENTE !!! ❤️😍😍😍 COMO ELLA HABLA TAN BONITO E SENSUAL😍😍😍😍QUE VOZ SENSUAL 😍😍😍😍

Ha sido interesante comprobar mi nivel a través de este test. He fallado una ( la 11). Los detalles de por y para siempre me han costado un pelín.

This is so good! I'm struggling but the explinations of each question is so helpful because I find this to be such unique grammar it is difficult to study

I got 10/12 for fun but I did better here than on the B1-B2 test!! I think because here it focuses on the subjunctive and I know that very well. I need to revise Ser v Estar and Por v Para though. Can be confusing.

In the process of preparing for C1 exam in Spanish I've made mistakes in questions 5,6 and 11. I think for people at my level questions from 1 to 4 are very easy. I would say that 9 and 11 were most tricky. And yes, question 12 seemed tricky but due to grammar tense difference my choice was quick and obvious. I would like to see more tests like this from Your channel. I would also love a test in idioms , perfrasis verbales and frases echas for both C1 and C2 levels. As for "Para buena fiesta, la de Sona" wouldn't "PARA" wrok just like English "In order to "? Just a random thought. And I had to admit You have taught me 2 new things with this test. First that PARA IR means to be at the point of leaving. And that "porque and no porque" has to be followed by subjunctive. Somehow until watching this video I have never encountered these structures and I have spent a lot of time on learnng Spanish so far. So yes, these two structures are probably neglected in many books and videos on Spanish grammar.

My learning is all over the place. I got more of these correct off of vibes alone than I did on the B1/2 test trying to think my way through it 😂

I've been learning Spanish for 5 yrs and got 10/12

Great examples. I’ve been looking for some more advanced quizzes and lessons.

Me faltan 2 😆 me ha encantado!

As a Spanish native speaker I have to admit that I struggled with the question 6, I don't really know why, both A and B sounded good for me but at the end B sounded better

Demasiado Fácil, gave me more difficult TESTS

Hola! Soy brasileño y estoy aprendiendo español, I would appreciate it if u guys could make more videos teaching slang, vou acompanhar o canal de vcs pq parece ser um dos melhores para aprender espanhol... Gracias, thanx, obrigado 😁✌️

¡Hola! Me encanta este método de aprender. Muy bien hecho - ¡muchísimas gracias!

9 Muchísimas gracias. ¡Hay que practicar más!

Me gusta la forma de este video. Bien hecho uds y gracias...aunque respondí incorrecto mas veces que queria, uds me ensanaron por que yo no era correcto. :)

I got 8 right. 6 because I knew and 2 from guessing out of the other 6 (statistically "regression to the mean" for the unknown 6). I find reading / writing much easier than listening / speaking because my brain is just not fast enough. I reckon I am a spread from B1 through to C1 but slow on the uptake. I need a holiday in Spain!

12/12 !! Estoy orgullosa de mí. Nunca he hecho un examen pero creo que soy avanzada con el español escrito.

Thanks guys! I got 10/12 on this, but only 8/13 on the B1 version haha! (I learned spanish by living in South America for 14 months so I think my knowlege is full of random gaps) :D

Hola, como nativo de la variante de Español de Nicaragua, puntué 11/12. La número 4 está difícil y para mí suena poco natural, para mí le falta la preposición "al". Ah también he aprendido Inglés nivel C1, me alegra ver que también les interesa nuestra lengua. Muchos saludos!

9/12. Aprendi algunas cosas que no sabias. gracias!

Estoy aprendiendo neerlandés como mi tercer idioma y me está costando mucho trabajo. Solo vine aquí para pasar todar las preguntas para sentirme mejor jajaja (obvio español es mi lengua materna)

By question 2 I realized I really could use a class. Very cool video :)

I missed 9 and 11. But to be fair, I was not familiar with the word “apetecer” nunca la he escuchado.

I only missed two. Thank you for the video and for the test.

De 12 preguntas, sólo me equivoqué en una! Gracias por la prueba 😊 Saludos

Como molaría irme a Londres y presentarme a un examen de c2 de español, siendo español que soy :DDD

The number 10 and 11 are definitely tricky even for native Spanish speakers 😂

En Argentina también usamos "para" en la 5 pero con otro significado. Sería algo como: "Estoy para ir a tomar un café" = tengo ganas de tomar un café. "Estoy por ir a tomar un café" = en este instante saldré a tomar un café. la 11 me costó porque no hablamos así en mi país, es muy de España esa expresión. Acá diríamos algo más largo, por ej: "Si querés una buena fiesta, andá a la de Sandra" o "Una buena fiesta es la de Sandra" o algo así.

Muy guay ! Que bien ! Me ha gustado mucho vuestro clase .

I wasn't sure whether I was at this level so I decided to try this quiz. i got 7/12 ( but for no.5 I wasn't sure if I did it correctly because you said 'por' but I said 'para' which is also used so if I got it right, that'll be 8/12).

Yippeeeeee!!!! I got ALL of these right!!!! Does this mean I'm at the C1 level? Probably more likely that the examples were relatively easy…

That's a really good , challenging test.

Saque 9/12! Me resultaron mas dificiles las preguntas 5, 6, 10.

OK so.I can just say that I have a c2 in Spanish... And it's just strange that I never remembered that I followed ur channel when I first started speaking Spanish ...and now I'm fluent 😁

12/12 I too almost said "se puso a llorar" at first glance. I'm not a native speaker, but I thought these questions were too easy for C1/C2. Some questions were good tho :) my fiancé is native Colombian, and I will say that in my time in South America and Central America, I've never heard the -ese (fuese) form used in spoken language, only in certain literature.

The keys slipped out of my hands. (a nice way to shift the blame of course, as if the keys had a life of their own, and they themselves decided to do that). I got 9 out of 12 correct, but in actually one of them I got the meaning incorrect, so maybe 8 out of 12 is more correct. Not an easy test for once, but that's good. In other tests I often get 50 out of 50, which gives the impression I always choose the right answer. In one of the questions I did not understand the meaning of the phrase, I though they were doing a toast, not sure if my answer would have been correct if that is what you meant with the phrase. The problem with that question is that there was no context whatsoever. Of course, all these tests only measure a small part of what it means to be fluent in a foreign language. As they are multiple choice, this allows you to eliminate some of the answers, and it avoids those cases where you might know you need to use a subjunctive, but don't know how to correctly make one. Also, these tests mostly focus on a small part of the grammar and vocabulary. They do not measure whether you can form your own sentences correctly, whether you have difficulty in understanding written Spanish, nor do they test whether you can understand native speakers well. That means they should be taken with a grain of salt. Because I speak French, Spanish and Portuguese, I can easily take an Italian test, and get almost up to level A2 in case only grammar and vocabulary are being tested with multiple choice questions, yet I cannot make my own phrases in Italian. Took this test of Italian, Level A1: 8/10, Level A2: 6/10 (needed 7/10 to pass). So if I would show this result to an Italian teacher, they would think I would be able to have a basic conversation in Italian, yet I never took any courses in that language, and it would probably be very hard to produce some meaningful phrases in that language.

Very good videos but this is very easy (I'm Mexican 🐢)

Never studied spanish, learned it from latin american family and I got 7/12. I don't think it's too bad but I wasn't familiar with some of the words but I still consider myself a fluent speaker

I done great at the b1/B2 video you done but this one is a 50/50 with correct answers I'm getting. Not at all confident here hahaha but I'll keep going

muchisimas gracias por este video, he aprendido algo nuevo

Realmente estoy haciendo esta prueba y presiento que no se español, siendo mi lengua materna. Por ahora voy varias mal por bobo

Gracias por el video. Muy útil!

8/12 correct, being at B2 level^^

!Muy interesante! !Gracias!

Fantastico

He tenido solamente una respuesta incorrecta. No sé si soy solo yo, pero me ha parecido muy fácil. Creo que soy solamente muy buena en la gramática. 🙈

Hola. Se puede tmb decir "cuentes lo que cuentes..." en lugar de "Lo cuentes o no..."? Muchas Muchas gracias

para mí en la doce pueden ser las 3 correctas dependiendo el contexto
