These 126 drills are generated from the Spanish A2 vocabulary list — the words of “Getting around” through “Shopping and weather”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

Spanish A2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Spanish A2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

Spanish eating has a rhythm of its own: the mid-morning almuerzo, the late comida around two, and the sobremesa — the time after eating when nobody moves and the talk continues. Tapas are not a starter but a way of eating: small plates shared, ordered in rounds. A2 covers ordering because the phrases are short and real, and the cultural note is that «quedarse de sobremesa» is a compliment to the table, never a delay.

Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Spanish cuisine”.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: At two o'clock we eat. On the table there is bread, tortilla and salad. My mother asks: 'Do you want more?' I say: 'No thanks, I'm full.' Then we stay over the sobremesa: coffee, talk and no hurry. At night we go for tapas: two portions, a small beer and the bill, which is nine euros.

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged es-ES; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Ben: What would you like to drink? Ana: A small beer, please. Ben: And to eat? Ana: A portion of tortilla. And the bill, when you can.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• Quiero un café, por favor. (to a waiter, first contact) → Quisiera un café, por favor. Quisiera is the polite request; quiero sounds blunt to a stranger.
• Soy hambre. → Tengo hambre. Hunger is had: tener, not ser.
• La cuenta, cuando puedes. (to a waiter) → La cuenta, cuando pueda. The polite frame takes usted: cuando pueda.

Your task

Order at a bar Write an eight-line bar dialogue in Spanish: greet, order a drink, order food, ask for the bill, pay, say goodbye. Use «quisiera» once, «por favor» twice, and no English. Then change the order to two people — «¿algo para picar?» — which forces the plural forms and is where learners slip from tú to vosotros (or ustedes, on the American side).

After A2: the A2+ checkpoint

A2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Spanish A2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at A2+ when you can keep a conversation going, tell a short story. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B1 pages.
