Why is First Certificate in English necessary in Spain? In Spain, the most people say they have an intermediate English level, and it is a fact that it is not true. I think one of the mainly reasons because we don't have the same level in English as our neighbours in the north is because we are used to watch TV series, films and shows completely dubbed. In my point of view, here we have to show our FCE in interviews because probably, the person who is interviewing you doesn't have enough level to check out if you are in a B2 level. For this reason, if you don't have your FCE in Spain likely you are going to face many difficults even to get an interview if English is a killer question.

Why is First Certificate in English necessary in Spain?

In Spain, the most people say they have an intermediate English level, and it is a fact that it is not true. I think one of the mainly reasons is because we don't have the same level in English as our neighbours in the north as we are used to watching completely dubbed TV series, films and shows .

In my point of view, here we have to show our FCE in interviews because probably, the person who is interviewing you doesn't have a good enough level to check if you are at B2 level. For this reason, if you don't have your FCE in Spain, it is likely you are going to face many difficulties even to get an interview if English is a killer question.


Hello Oscar,

Interesting article, you are right that the Scandinavian countries don't usually dub programs but many other European countries do. And the discrepancy in standards of English is really noticeable. 

Just a few small corrections to your text.

Hope this helps

Hi Oscar.  Would you like to make corrections to your work?  I think this is the best way to learn.  I've highlighted the portions that could use correcting.  Good luck!
