Reviews by former students who attended a course in Barcelona
The teachers are great, very well prepared and use very nice, engaging methods. The lessons are fast-paced and you can learn a lot of Spanish in a very short time. The rooms are bright and functional, new and modern. The common areas were very nice and comfortable. There was wifi everywhere.
International student body, you can make friends all over the world

17 April 2023
Course: Private Lessons 20 - 1 week
Student age: 14 years
I booked the semi-intensive course from 9am to 11am Monday to Friday even though I was only in Barcelona on vacation. I had a lot of Fun! The teacher was great, as were my classmates. We were of mixed ages, the youngest was 20, the average was 30-35, and I was by far the oldest. We were 7 or 8 people.
They received me very warmly. If I ever take a city trip to Barcelona again, I will go straight to this school! If you can't do a whole week and you can only do 3 or 4 days, with this good price-performance ratio it doesn't matter if you miss 1 day. I will be back soon!
One piece of advice, if you are not so young anymore, it is best to go outside of the holiday season.

Course: Intensive 30 - 2 weeks
Student age: 27 years
The school is highly recommended for all age groups. Owner Milena has a very appreciative personal approach and took the time to accommodate me very well (course and shared flat). The 4 teachers I met are also very encouraging, super motivated and qualified. Learning Spanish was great fun in the relaxed atmosphere, also thanks to the versatile approach and learning material. Other plus points are the central location, close to the St. Antoni metro station and the market hall of the same name, and the fact that you were always welcome at a café in the common room, so that further meetings were possible, as well as the varied leisure activities.
As already mentioned, highly recommended for all age groups

Course: Intensive Course - 9 weeks
Student age: 36 years
Easy to book, quick replies to e-mails before starting the course, easy to complete the online pre-course level test and the oral tests for all of the students were done on the first morning quickly enough that none of us lost any teaching time on the first day, good quality of teaching, friendly teachers and administration staff, textbooks provided free of charge and you can keep these when you leave, nice terrace at the front of the school and nice rooftop terraces, good WiFi, snacks and drinks available to purchase at reception, plenty of places to get food and drink nearby, central location, during the winter (I went in January) organized social / cultural activities offered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings (which I think is relatively good for a winter programme), classes had a good range of students of different ages and nationalities

Very dedicated teachers, helpdesk is always trying to help.
It would be better if courses alternated every week. I had classes from midday to evening both weeks, so I hardly had any time to do anything in Barcelona besides classes.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Barcelona
- I would like to take a 24-week Spanish course in Barcelona, but don't have much money for accommodation and would also like to work while in Barcelona taking the course. Do you have any good tips for me to make this dream come true?“I would start looking at Workaway, for example. There are websites where you can find work for board and lodging and there are projects also in Barcelona. You might find a good match there and be able to combine this with a Spanish course through us. I also used a website for me personally and had really great experiences (and saved a lot of money).
A second option would be to contact (youth) hostels in Barcelona directly and ask if they might be looking for someone for the period you are in Barcelona. It happens quite often that people work in a hostel and then get a room, etc, in return. You never know and I really think the trip will be much more affordable.
I hope this gives you a push in the right direction. Let me know as soon as it works out and I will help book the Spanish course.
By the way, our office is in Barcelona, so further general tips you can definitely ask us!
”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 20, 2023I am looking for a school with several Dutch people, where I can take Spanish lessons for 5 to 6 weeks.“Linguaschools in Barcelona is set up by Dutch people and I think it fits in well with your wishes, although we can never guarantee that Dutch people will go there. And of course it helps your Spanish tremendously if you have to speak directly in Spanish. It is a condition from the Cervantes accreditation that Spanish is spoken directly in class, even with beginners. So prepare for that. But at Linguaschools, I think you're going to feel at your best. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 15, 2023Do I have to take a beginner's course if I haven't studied before? I have lived in Spain so I know some Spanish but I have never studied the language formally.“No, if you already know some Spanish, you will not study in a beginners' group. Online or on the first day, you will take a language test that shows your level, and then you will be placed in a group at the appropriate level. ”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 27, 2023Do you have evening classes with lessons more than one day a week?“Most evening courses have classes one or at most two days a week.”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 29, 2023I am looking for a Catalan Course.

”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 03, 2023I would like to book Catalan lessons for me, my mother and my sister.

We have an apartment in Barcelona and do not need accommodation. Do you have any options?“In Barcelona, World Class Language School offers Junior Programmes in the summer, and parents can also book a General Spanish Programme and attend the programme on the same dates and location.

(20-30 minutes or more by public transport)”Antonio Zoppo, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 24, 2023I would like to know if there are any Spanish classes in Barcelona that are taught in the evening from Wednesday to Saturday“We have some options for evening courses running in Barcelona once or twice a week.

Do you offer this too?“In Barcelona there are certainly schools that offer 50+ courses.
Do bare in mind that senior courses are most of the time only offered a few times a year. If you therefore have specific dates in mind and the dates offered do not correspond, you can also always join a standard course at a school of your choice. What could help with that choice is checking the student reviews of 50+ students and checking the average ages of the schools throughout the year in the school profiles, so the standard course is closer to what you're looking for.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Jun 25, 2021course destinations
