20h/ Week Intensive Spanish Course Overview
Our intensive Spanish course in Barcelona is great for people who want to learn Spanish quickly. In fact, it’s the most popular of our 15+ Spanish courses.
During the 20h intensive Spanish course, you’ll study 20 hours of Spanish each week and cover up to 6 levels of the CASA program. The course is designed to help you complete one level every 2 weeks.
