Course overview
This intensive Spanish course is great for people who want to focus on learning to progress quickly. The intensive 20h course is our most popular course because our students know that there is no more effective and pleasant way to learn Spanish. Classes are 4 hours every day, Monday through Friday, in the morning or in the afternoon. Class is divided into two blocks, one teacher for each half, with a small break in the middle. This gives you time to cover all aspects of Spanish language learning each day: speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
Course start dates
If you already have some basic knowledge of Spanish or have a more advanced level, you can start any Monday. If you are a complete beginner, new courses start every other Monday throughout the year.

Reviews
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.
FAQs
- If I get financial aid for studying in Speakeasy, will that reduce the number of weeks of CSN aid I get for studying at University?
-
No. Since our courses counts as being on a high school level and not university, you will have all of your CSN-weeks left after studying with us in Speakeasy.
- Do I have to buy the books?
-
The student book and workbook for your level are necessary to participate in class and available for purchase in reception. However, it is not required that you purchase them from Speakeasy if you already have them by other means.
- Do I have to pay for the course fee upfront and in-full?
-
Yes, the payment for the weeks of the course you want your spot reserved in must be in full and in paid in advance. This way your spot for the duration of the whole course will be reserved. It is also a requirement by the embassy if you are applying for a student visa to have your long-term course paid in full before applying for the visa.
