Why take an intensive Spanish course in Barcelona with Speakeasy BCN?
Speakeasy BCN is focused on creating the perfect environment for you to learn Spanish fast.
Our Spanish classes are small (maximum 8-13 students) so you never feel left behind. We’re also the only school to introduce ‘mini levels’ between each stage of the CEFR framework, and we assess your Spanish and place you among students of the same ability. Depending on the intensive Spanish course you choose you can move up a mini level in as little as 2-4 weeks.
Each intensive Spanish course has a ‘rolling admissions’ policy so you can start learning from the week you arrive.
We believe in the philosophy of learning Spanish through immersion. This is why our school is in the heart of Barcelona, on the edge of the world-famous Gothic Quarter. We’re the only Spanish language school in Barcelona with two dedicated activity coordinators to help you explore the city every week and practice what you’re studying.

Fast learning
Our intensive Spanish courses are designed to help you complete one language level every 2 weeks. We follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) which rates language ability from A1 to C2. But we split each CEFR level into two ‘mini’ levels to help you feel how fast you are progressing.

Small classes
We have a strict policy of small classes, with usually 8-12 students per class and a maximum of 13. This means your questions will always be heard, and you’ll never feel you’re getting left behind.
-
Immersion-based learning
Speakeasy BCN is one of few Spanish language schools with a ‘communicative immersion’ methodology. This means you’ll only use Spanish in your classes, even when asking for help or advice. There’s no faster way to learn than this.
-
Official exam center
Speakeasy BCN is an official examination center for DELE and SIELE, which offers you internationally recognized Spanish qualifications. Taking an exam is optional. But if you want, we offer all the preparation courses you’ll need.
Master the Spanish language quickly with one of our intensive courses in Barcelona
We started learning practical Spanish from day one 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. The quality of learning also stems from the quality of teaching, and I can’t speak highly enough of my professor at the school. 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.
