We're proud to have helped hundreds of students with their Spanish studies and life in Barcelona, here is what they have to say

I’ve been a student at speakeasy for a month and a half now, and it’s been going even better than I could’ve expected. We started learning practical Spanish from day 1 and by the end of the first week I was already able to have basic conversations with cashiers, friends, and people I met while out and about. There’s no better motivation than being able to use the words and phrases you learn in class to immediately connect with people. Of course the quality of learning also stems from the quality of teaching, and I can’t speak highly enough of my professor at the school, Cristina Revenga. In addition to a varied pedagogical approach (which keeps the whole class engaged for 4 hours at a time) and an endless amount of enthusiasm for the subject, she’s also a great source of knowledge about Spanish culture. She’s constantly recommending songs, books, food, festivals and other ways to engage with the language and culture outside of class. My classmates also bring a diverse range of backgrounds to the classroom. It’s great learning about Camino de Santiago with an architect in class who can talk about the history of Romanesque architecture in Spain, or learning about linguistic similarities between Spanish and Swedish, Dutch or German from students from those countries. Basically, if you’re interested in learning Spanish and are curious about taking an immersive approach, you can’t go wrong with this academy.

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!

Exceeded by expectations! The teachers have been very patient and engaging, the lessons are well-structured, the material is very practical to help us with day to day living (ordering food, buying groceries, asking for directions, getting to know people etc.) and I find myself looking forward to classes the next day. Overall, it’s been a great experience!

I spent two wonderful weeks at Speakeasy Spanish school in Barcelona. Why only two weeks? Because that was all the free time I had. I wish I had more. I sincerely recommend Speakeasy to anyone interested in speaking Spanish. The office staff was so helpful and kind. Cristina and Veronica, the best and most professional teachers, introduced us to the language in an easy and fun way, the most. And the best thing, I had the chance to meet wonderful multi nationalities friends who studied with me in class A1. Speakeasy is not just a Spanish school. Sophie, the activities coordinator and Student advisor, was always there for any questions. She organized afternoon activities for us to have fun after school and, more important (in my opinion), to meet and socialize with the other students. Thank you, Speakeasy team. I hope to meet again and continue my Spanish education.

The 6-hours a week Evening Course helped me get my Spanish from a very basic level to upper intermediate in less than 6 months. During the classes we use a variety of different learning techniques in a small group of students and Georgina has been a great teacher, facilitating an interactive experience. Next to a full-time study or job it is demanding – but rewarding, fun and definitely worth it!

I passed the B2 level DELE exam thanks to Speakeasy’s intensive DELE preparation course. We had very intensive and interactive classes in just 4 weeks. It all went well, systematically. We did many examples and cases from the exams. On top of this, it was fun. I am happy to have gotten to know my teachers, Ana and Marta. Thank you for everything!

It’s a great experience, a chance to meet many interesting people, see new places and speak a new language. I like the way things are arranged at the school. The teachers are very professional. You start speaking Spanish very quickly. It seems that you just chat with friends, and then you notice that you understand people around you, you speak Spanish! It’s cool.

Speakeasy is an extraordinary language learning school. I am in my third month and all I have received is consistent energy, passion and commitment from my teachers to help me succeed at Spanish language learning. I would call out Profesora Ana Eva who has a style so inclusive and so committed to every person in the class, I am making progress with Ana and so is everybody else in my group. There is first class communication from the Admin team who keep me updated regularly. A learning experience I will never forget and the most important thing – I’m not forgetting the skill of a new language, because Speakeasy is helping me succeed.

I have only wonderful things to say about my experience at Speakeasy! From day one, Kenny at the administration office answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. The school location is fantastic, walking distance to many major attractions. The facilities at the school are comfortable and cozy. The activities coordinator Sophie is lovely and organized some great weekend day trips. But most importantly, my teachers Marc and Ana Cristina were fantastic. I enjoyed the diversity of their teaching methods, their ability to adapt to everyone’s learning speed and simply, the fun we had in each class. I genuinely learned more Spanish than I expected to!! I will recommend this school to anyone!

It is my fourth week with the program, and I plan to stay for 8-10 more weeks. The quality of the teachers is very high, I’ve been impressed with their abilities to explain words and concepts in Spanish to those who are learning without utilizing another language such as English or a dictionary. It’s a truly immersive experience, which helps one progress quite rapidly. In addition, they take the weekly social activities seriously, so that we can enjoy and get to know other students and the city. Each week they prepare several activities for students and alumni at no or very low cost (i.e. €5). Lastly, customer service is excellent. They worked with me and around my specific situation and problem(s), came up with creative solutions, were accommodating, etc. I would give a 6-star rating if I could! Above these very practical things, this place is so much fun!

I’ve been at Speakeasy for two weeks doing the semi-intensive program (10h/week) and I’ve loved my experience. It was such a welcoming place from the second I walked in. My teacher, Joan, is so wonderful and cares about making sure we understand the material. The weekly field trips, with bimonthly ones outside of the city, have made it so easy to make friends in a place I just moved to. The team was also very responsive when I was emailing months ago with questions. Would happily recommend Speakeasy to anyone looking to learn Spanish and meet new people in Barcelona!

Speakeasy Barcelona is a 5-star language school! Super professional administration and very helpful! The teachers are also amazing! I would recommend this school for anyone that wants to learn Spanish and at the same time live in beautiful Barcelona, meet new friends and have a lot of fun! They arrange many different activities each week.
