La regla · The rule
The DELE C1 and C2 exist, they are awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education, and they do not expire. Whether you want one is a practical question — a university, a job, a residence file.
Y también · And also
Nothing in these books is an exam preparation course, and nothing here predicts a result. What they give you is the material the syllabus describes, practiced on paper until it is yours.
Ojo · Watch out
The DELE C1 and C2 are awarded by the Instituto Cervantes and do not expire (no caducar). Nothing in these books is an exam course and nothing here predicts a result (predecir un resultado). predecir conjugates like decir: predigo, predice.
predecir, presente — the table
yo predigo · tú predices · él/ella/usted predice · nosotros predecimos · ustedes predicen · ellos/ellas predicen
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with el Instituto Cervantes.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out predecir, presente in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
