Vocabulary for DELE B1

Learning a new language begins with words. Vocabulary is the foundation on which every other skill is built: speaking, listening, reading, and writing all depend on knowing the right words and understanding how they work in real situations. For students preparing for the DELE B1 exam, vocabulary is not just helpful, but it is essential.

The DELE B1 level evaluates a learner’s ability to communicate in simple, everyday contexts. To do this successfully, candidates must recognize and use the most common words related to daily life: food, family, clothing, places, actions, colors, numbers, and more.

To support learners in building this foundation, this book includes 170 commonly used B1 words, carefully selected to match the themes required at the B1 level. Each word is accompanied by:

• Clear audio, so learners can hear correct pronunciation and develop listening confidence. These audio files were recorded by humans and not by AI tools.
• An English translation, ensuring immediate understanding.
• An example sentence, showing how the word is used naturally in context.
• A translation of the example sentence, reinforcing comprehension and helping learners connect meaning with usage.

By persistently and carefully studying the exercises and mastering these 170 words included in this book, students will gain the essential linguistic tools needed to navigate the DELE B1 exam with confidence. More importantly, they build a strong foundation for future levels of Spanish, opening the door to richer communication and deeper cultural understanding.
