Questions & Answers about Mi nivel de español es básico.

Why is it mi and not me here?

In Spanish, mi (no accent) is a possessive adjective meaning “my”. It must go before the noun:

• mi nivel = my level
• mi casa = my house

me is an object pronoun (me = “to me / me”) and never goes in front of a noun:

• Me gusta el español. = I like Spanish.
• Me nivel ❌ (incorrect)

Why does it say nivel de español instead of nivel en español?

Both exist, but they’re used differently:

• nivel de español literally “level of Spanish” – this is the normal way to say language level.
  • Mi nivel de español es básico.
• nivel en español is more like “level in Spanish (class / subject / test)” and is less common when talking about general ability.

For your overall skill in the language, nivel de español is the natural choice.
