We are an innovative organization, offering Spanish instruction to groups, individuals, and businesses in Barcelona and remotely using online tools
Founded in 2001, our international staff and Spanish teachers guarantee the highest quality of service. Speakeasy provides a contemporary curriculum and highly interactive approach that has made it one of the country’s fastest-growing Spanish schools.
In 2010, Speakeasy was accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, which means it meets the conditions set by the Instituto Cervantes Accreditation System for Centres, the only international accreditation exclusively focused on the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.
We guarantee that the groups are never over 12 students. Our students come from all over the world and there are usually 5 or 6 different nationalities in each class. The average age of our students is 27 years and you will usually find a good mix of ages in each class. Speakeasy welcomes around 800 students per year.
We use a communicative and practical approach to learning Spanish. The objective of the vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation that you learn, is to be able to communicate in Spanish in an effective way. The Spanish courses are immersion classes, which means that all the teaching and textbooks are in Spanish from the very beginning.
Speakeasy Spanish School is located in the very center of Barcelona, close to Plaza Catalunya and La Rambla, surrounded by shops and restaurants and fast access to 3 central Metro stations, a train station and over 25 bus lines.
We have a really vibrant atmosphere here at Speakeasy, where you get much more than just a great education. As a part of our Spanish program, we offer our students an exciting activities program. We offer a variety of activities every week, and we try to differentiate them as much as possible, mixing a bit of culture with fun and exciting activities, there is always something for everyone.
Speakeasy is an official examination center for both of the internationally recognized DELE and SIELE exams. These exams are requirements for entry into universities or professional selection processes. We offer preparation courses for both exams which allow our students to prepare for and take the exams all in one center.
Our highly qualified and experienced teachers together with our excellent course plan are the keys to our success and the reason why 99% of our students recommend Speakeasy. Because of this, 50% of our students come through recommendations of other Speakeasy students and alumni.
To ensure our high level of quality Spanish classes, our teachers and services are evaluated constantly, and we pay special attention to our student’s comments and suggestions.
Speakeasy is a fabulous choice for learning Spanish in Barcelona – highly recommend. I’ve been living in Barcelona for a year (intermediate level) and started taking classes to improve my comfort with speaking. I’ve been really impressed with the quality of instruction and it shows in my rapid improvement since starting just one month ago. The school also organizes fun social and cultural outings, which is a great way to meet people in the city. I’m excited to continue my studies with Speakeasy!
