Intensive
Our intensive Spanish courses are our most popular courses for international students who want to focus on learning Spanish and progress quickly as possible.
What city has more UNESCO listed buildings than Athens, more museums than Florence, more hashtags on Instagram than #Milano, bigger beaches than any city on the Mediterranean and more visitors each year than Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna or Madrid? Yes, it’s Barcelona!
Barcelona is a world-famous city that combines a medieval quarter and Spain’s most visited monument (the Sagrada Família) with one of Europe’s top 5 tech districts, a major international airport and the award for the ‘world’s #1 beach city’ from National Geographic.
Speakeasy BCN Spanish language school in Barcelona is right in the heart of the action. Spanish courses in Barcelona where you don’t just learn Spanish, you’re immersed in Spanish culture too!
Spanish is the most powerful language you can learn to unlock career opportunities in industries like tourism, international business, education, real estate, government, finance and development. Our Spanish courses in Barcelona give you qualifications that impress employers.
The Speakeasy curriculum follows the 6 levels of the internationally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): from A1 to C2. Because we’re an accredited language school, international students can get a long-term Spain student visa just by applying to one of our Spanish courses!
How do you know our Spanish lessons will deliver? Our Spanish classes are small (maximum 8-13 students) so you never feel left behind. We’re the only school to introduce ‘mini levels’ between each stage of the CEFR framework to ensure you’re placed with students of the exact same ability.
You can choose from 15+ of our Spanish courses in Barcelona and determine how fast you want to earn qualifications and improve your career opportunities. We also have a ‘rolling admissions’ policy so you can start learning from the week you arrive.
Our intensive Spanish courses are our most popular courses for international students who want to focus on learning Spanish and progress quickly as possible.
Our semi-intensive Spanish courses are best for students who want to combine learning Spanish with working or studying part-time.
Our combined Spanish courses are great for students who want to benefit from private classes alongside regular group Spanish classes.
Express courses are built around our CASA immersion program and based on private lessons. With Express Spanish you’ll get the one-to-one support you need to develop your specific Spanish language skills.
We offer a range of tailored Spanish classes to help you achieve your specific language goals. Choose between: conversational Spanish Classes, business Spanish classes (corporate Spanish), private Spanish classes, express Spanish courses (20-30h/ week) and our Spanish culture course.
Our long-term Spanish courses are ideal for living in Barcelona for a longer period of time (24, 36, 48 and 52 weeks) and packages include securing your student visa.
Our official exam Spanish courses can help you get the qualifications you need for a university or job application.
What’s the best way to learn Spanish? We provide 100% in-person classes because we believe in speaking and living the language like a local.
In fact, we’re the only Spanish language school in Barcelona with two activities coordinators to help you get out and practice what you’re studying. It’s all part of the ground-breaking ‘immersion method’ of learning Spanish.
Your social calendar will be packed with activities like beach days, roof-top drinks, museum tours, Gaudí visits, wine tasting, cooking classes, Barcelona FC matches, yoga in the park, paddle-boarding, ski trips and weekend trips (Madrid, Ibiza, Zaragoza, Girona, Tarragona, Valencia, Andorra and France).
Long-term language students can take designated travel breaks without skipping class. Within 1-3 hours of leaving Barcelona’s international airport you could be landing in Lisbon, Monaco, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Berlin, Budapest, Sicily, the Swiss Alps or Santorini!
You’ll have no trouble finding a place to stay in Barcelona – we help you get a room in a student residence or find a shared apartment, a family homestay or a private apartment.
All our long-term Spanish courses include professional support to help you secure a Spain student visa, medical insurance, extend your NIE and any assistance you need.
You’ll quickly feel at home in Speakeasy BCN’s school located within minutes of Plaza Catalunya, the Gothic quarter and the world-famous La Rambla. You can make use of our free WiFi and student card with discounts around the city. School classrooms are small on purpose to maximize learning and making friends.
Take a look at the next Speakeasy Events that we have planned for our students
Village de Noël Le Barcares
Next Saturday, we will be visiting the best Christmas market in the south of France, located in the town of Barcarès. Every year, before Christmas, this small fishing village transforms into an enchanted place—the holiday home of Papa Noël (the French Santa Claus). This location has become an ideal attraction for enjoying the holidays with family and friends. Join us to explore this magical Christmas town, discover unique presents at the market, have fun on roller coasters, witness parades and light shows, and even explore the ice museum.
Els 4 gats
This Thursday we will visit one of the oldest cafés in the city, a historic art nouveau style site that opened in 1896. Back in its time, it served as a hostel, bar and cabaret until it eventually became a central meeting point for Barcelona’s most prominent modernist figures, such as Pablo Picasso, Ramon Casas and Antoní Gaudí.
