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.

It’s a very nice school to learn Spanish, even if you have never studied Spanish before. The activities are the best part! You get to meet a lot of new people and the girl who organizes them is really lovely! In the reception the staff speaks many different languages so you don’t have any problems booking the right course an getting all the information you need. The teachers are also very nice. The school is in the center of Barcelona which is easy to get by the metro from anywhere in the city. It’s the best way to get Spanish skills!

Speakeasy has so far made my experience one to remember. I felt so welcomed and the classes have so far been very helpful. My teachers make learning that much more fun with class activities and group assignments. Also, meeting new people was so easy and comfortable at speakeasy and through the exciting events. I thought it would take me a few months to settle in and adjust, but it has only taken me days. I’m glad I chose speakeasy for this exciting new chapter in my life

Very nice people at Speakeasy. The faculty are so welcoming and teachers put a lot of effort into teaching and you get to know people from all around the world. With the help of the school you can easily learn Spanish. The teachers are all very nice and attentive to every student. Furthermore, the school arranges activities for you to join after class. Which made you connected with the people and the city better. Great place for learning and making friends!
