Many students ask us about the advantages of taking an official Spanish exam. Most of them immediately mention “DELE” when referring to an “official exam,” unaware that there are alternatives to this well-known test in the Spanish-speaking world. That’s why today we’re going to talk about DELE’s best-known alternative: SIELE.
SIELE is an exam designed to assess your level of Spanish and has official status, making it accepted by institutions such as universities. Like DELE, it evaluates the usual language skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Up to this point, everything is similar, but what are the differences?

Choosing between DELE and SIELE depends on your specific needs and circumstances. SIELE offers significant flexibility, a customizable exam structure, and faster results, making it an attractive option for many students. However, its limited validity period is something to consider. If you want more specific information about SIELE, you can visit our dedicated page or ask us directly. Jaleo Madrid is a certified SIELE center, so you can take the exam with us—and if you want, we will help you prepare for it.

L'un des problèmes les plus fréquents auxquels sont confrontés les étudiants d'espagnol est l'utilisation du mot "se". Cette petite particule a de quoi faire trembler le monde entier, car même si elle est petite, elle est d'une importance vitale et son utilisation (ou sa non-utilisation) peut changer totalement le sens d'une phrase. Le "se" peut être confondu dans ses différents usages et, ou les étudiants oublient de l'utiliser, ou l'utilisent directement dans toutes les phrases qu'ils produisent. Bien que le sujet soit assez complexe, nous allons tenter de résumer les principaux usages de cette partie du texte. "Se", dans les verbes réfléchis : Tanto en el infinitivo, como en las formas de la tercera persona (singular y plural). C'est l'usage le plus habituel et le premier que les étudiants apprennent, mais il faut être prudent car il n'y a pas d'usage de la troisième personne.
