Free Online Spanish Course from Universitat Politècnica de València

Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) offers a free online Spanish course on edX in three self-paced, beginner-level parts designed for English speakers. The courses cover basic vocabulary and grammar, pronunciation, everyday conversation and an introduction to Spanish culture.

Completing all three parts takes about 15 weeks and 56 to 71 hours, taking learners from zero to roughly halfway through level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Each course can be taken on its own or all three as a package.

The courses

• Basic Spanish 1: Getting Started
• Basic Spanish 2: One Step Further
• Basic Spanish 3: Getting There

Cost and certificate

The course content on edX is free. Viewing graded exams and obtaining a certificate of completion requires a fee.

According to the university, these courses are not accepted as proof of Spanish proficiency for admission to UPV courses taught in Spanish, as their level is below the minimum requirement. They are, however, a good option for getting started, preparing before travel or refreshing earlier knowledge.
