Questions and answers about Speakeasy
- Is this school accredited by the Cervantes Institute?“Yes, the school is accredited by the Cervantes Institute”Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 07, 2023
FAQ about Speakeasy, Barcelona
- Do Speakeasy's courses correspond to Camino's course? And I mean more that the topics I have already had at Camino, I don't get again at Speakeasy.“Once you have some knowledge of the Spanish language, you will always take a language test on the first day of school, or before, to make sure you are placed in a good group for your level.
In your case, you have only completed the first 9 hours of course, so repetition is still very important, although they will often cover something new as well. A good teacher always knows how to adapt to the student. In a group course, this is sometimes more difficult because there are several people with learning needs. So if you really want lessons exactly at your level, I recommend private lessons.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 23, 2024 - Is airport pickup offered by Speakeasy?Yes.
