52 languages · offline lessons
19 of the 52 apps we cover say their Spanish goes past the beginner's stage.
Many Spanish courses stop where intermediate begins. uTalk, for one, says its Spanish takes you to A1 or A2. This page lists only the apps whose makers say they go further: a course that states a level of B1 or above for Spanish, or an app that says it is for intermediate and advanced learners. A course's level is what its lessons cover, not a level you are promised, so take a placement test where the app has one.

For a course, Busuu (A1 to C1, with the course free) or Babbel (up to C1 for European Spanish). To reach B2 with a set course, Rocket Spanish's Level 3, Mondly or Duolingo. To understand more real Spanish, Dreaming Spanish, LingQ or Yabla. For vocabulary in context, Clozemaster.
Does Duolingo go past beginner Spanish?
Duolingo says its Spanish course for English speakers now goes through B2. Its lessons stay short and game-like, so many learners add a video or reading app, or a tutor, once they reach the middle of the course.
Which Spanish apps stop at the beginner level?
uTalk says its Spanish course takes you to A1 or A2, so it is not on this page. LingoDeer and Mango Languages stop at B1, the first intermediate level; Babbel, Busuu, Glossika, Promova, StoryLearning and Yabla state C1 for Spanish.
