About Program

We invite you to explore Spain’s second biggest metropolitan area: Barcelona. Our Spanish school in Barcelona is located in a beautiful late 19th century house in the heart of Barcelona—only a 5 minute walk from Plaza Catalunya.

We like our students to feel at home during their stay at Linguaschools Barcelona. You can relax under the palm tree in our nice garden while having a coffee, catch up with your friends or family using our free Wi-Fi and computers and taste the real Barcelona. In classes, you will have dynamic lessons and interactive content all while inside spacious and bright classrooms with natural light, a computer room, a nice lounge, a lovely garden and a school library with Spanish books and films.

Each day is filled with activities and exercises focused on reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our teachers employ the communicative approach, meaning our students are encouraged to practice Spanish out loud.

Amazing

Had an amazing two months in Barcelona and with lingua schools. The schools location was amazing. You were so close to the busy centre. The classes were fun and I learned so much! It really helps that the teacher just teaches the classes fully in Spanish and you really are forced to pick up quickly. Classes weren’t until late either so I could still go out and explore and have fun with friends I made. I made so many friends from all over the world! Also the school organises activities every week which is super fun!

I really recommend this school and its teachers. I'll be back as soon as possible (je recommande vraiment cette école et ses professeurs. Je reviens dès que possible)

Translated by Go Overseas:
I opted for individual lessons and I thank my teacher (Anna Maria) very much. She was totally committed, dynamic and knowledgable.

Thank you also very much to the very very efficient and friendly reception team. This stay was a treat! My accommodation was very close to lingua school (15 minutes on foot) my lessons were in the morning which allowed me to visit in the afternoon and then the next day to report on my activities.

My lessons were totally adapted to my needs and not the other way around. It was I who asked what I wanted to deepen. The answers were always precise and practical. Thanks again. I warmly recommend this school.

Original review:
j'ai opté pour des cours individuels et je remercie beaucoup mon professeure (anna Maria)
qui était d'un engagement total avec beaucoup de dynamisme et de savoir faire.
Merci aussi beaucoup à l'équipe d'accueil très très efficace et sympathique.
Ce séjour était un régal! Mon hébergement était très proche de lingua school (15 minutes à pied) mes cours étaient le matin ce qui me permettaient de visiter l'après midi et ensuite le lendemain de faire un compte rendu de mes activités.
Mes cours étaient totalement adaptés à mes besoins et non l'inverse. c'est moi qui demandait ce que je voulais approfondir. Les réponses étaient toujours précises et pratiques. Merci encore. je recommande chaleureusement cette école.

Recommend!!

I’ve been at linguaschools since September 8 months now, the teachers are so good and super helpful. It’s a really good feeling going up through the levels of Spanish through the school. They have exams at the end of each level which helps show how much you’re improving. Also they have activities all throughout the week to take part in which is really cool and thoughtful of the school. The class sizes are also great as you can work together but also hear one on one advice from the teacher. Really recommend!!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would probably change the amount of hours i did as I started off for 3 months with 2 hours a day. Now I’m doing 4 hours a day the improvements show so much faster.

6 weekse Spaanse cursus

I really liked the lessons. Our teacher was so nice and only spoke Spanish to us, and a bit English now and then, which was a bit difficult in the first 2 weeks, but it also makes you learn the language so much faster. We also did a lot of games which was a fun way of learning. The only thing I didn't really like was that in the week after our exam we did another week of repeating, which was great for the other students, but we wanted to learn a bit more that week, but overall I really liked this school.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
call them or or send an email with all the information you need and which lessons suits you best.

" No Doubt ''

No doubt to take the courses from LinguaSchools, cause they have the most creative and motivated teachers you are going to have lessons with.
And of course as a foreigner you would love to have quality time with people around you and the activities that arranged and well planned for you. So which will give you the chance to keep so many good memories and experiences during your education with LinguaSchools and living in Barcelona.
P.S. As a student that had the first half term of 3 months in Madrid, one of my concern about Barcelona was that the city is a Catalan speaking city. So depends on my experiences I would say that generally speaking Catalan in Barcelona is not a big deal while you are learning Spanish with Spanish Speaker Teachers and there are many ways to practise your Spanish by participating to events like "LanguageExchange" that happens in the city. Also public people are very understandable and able to talk to you in Spanish once they understood that you are a foreigner.
Enjoy ^^

Great Spanish course

I took twelve weeks of the intenstive classes (20h/week).
During that time I improved my Spanish very much and now I'm already able to take part at daily conversations. Started with A1 and finished with B1. I had a lot of fun with my teachers and ofter students from all over the world. Also great were the activities which they offered additional to the classes. The location is nice setteled in the heart of Barcelona and also the facility is really nice.

All in all, it was a great experience and really eficient to learn/improve Spanish and I'm looking forward to continuing the classes this year.

I totally can recommand everyone to do some classes there.

esperienza molto positiva

Translated by Go Overseas:
I found myself very well, I started from an elementary level and during the 15 days I greatly enriched my knowledge of the language, in a pleasant and very interesting way.
Excellent teachers, pleasant program to follow, good understanding with other students.
I felt welcomed and accompanied throughout the training course by both the secretarial staff and the teachers.
I recommend the conversation sessions in language, very stimulating to enrich the vocabulary, and the knowledge related to the culture of Spain.
I thank everyone and think of repeating the experience and progressing in the knowledge of Spanish.

Original Version:
Mi sono trovata molto bene, sono partita da un livello elementare e durante i 15 giorni ho arricchito molto la mia conoscenza della lingua, in modo piacevole e molto interessante.
Ottimi insegnanti, programma piacevole da seguire, buona intesa con gli altri studenti.
Mi sono sentita accolta e accompagnata durante tutto il percorso formativo sia dal personale di segreteria che dai docenti.
Raccomando gli incontri di conversazione in lingua, veramente molto stimolanti per arricchire il vocabolario, e la conoscenza relativa alla cultura della Spagna.
Ringrazio tutti e penso di ripetere l'esperienza e progredire nella conoscenza dello spagnolo.

Great Spanish course

I took two weeks of intenstive studies of Spanish and one week of conversational classes. Most importantly, I had a lot of fun. It was great meeting new people, great learning from the really good teachers, great seeing fast progress in my Spanish. The school also arranged a lot of activities and there was something going on almost every day. In particular that was a good way of meeting other students outside of your class, and socializing in ways unrelated to the class room. Naturally, a lot of the time we'd still use Spanish amongst us students outside of the classroom too, proving to be a valuable way to practicing. I found that that was a good segue into also using Spanish with native speakers.

All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to continuing the classes this autumn.

What would you improve about this program?
Unless you're doing the course full-time for a longer period, it can become a bit confusing about when the exams will be and when you finish a level and begin the next.
