The DELE A2 exam isn’t about fancy grammar tricks – it’s about getting through real situations without freezing. Ordering tapas, describing your weekend, asking for help at the station: that’s what this level is all about. This CEFR-aligned A2 list hands you around 800 practical Spanish words you’re likely to meet on the test and in everyday chats, not the dusty relics from a textbook appendix.
Every entry gives you a straightforward meaning and a natural example sentence, so you can see how the word behaves in the wild – not just a translation you’ll forget by tomorrow. You also get audio playback for each word, because your ears need practice just as much as your eyes. Then practise the same level in context with this A2 Don Quixote story.
