At the end of the next week more than a thousand candidates will take the DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera), issued by the Instituto Cervantes. The examinations will take place on the 25th and 26th and 18% more people will take them than in 2011, according to the Instituto Cervantes in Beijing.
