Why take a long-term Spanish course in Barcelona with Speakeasy BCN?
Speakeasy BCN is focused on creating the perfect environment for you to master Spanish.
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.
Each long-term 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 dedicated activity coordinators to help you explore the city every week and practice what you’re studying.

Take your Spanish to the next level with one of our long-term Spanish courses in Barcelona (24,36, 48 and 52 weeks)
The office staff was so helpful and kind. The best and most professional teachers introduced us to the language in an easy and fun way. And the best thing, I had the chance to meet wonderful multinational friends. Speakeasy is not just a Spanish school they organize afternoon activities for us to have fun after school and, more importantly (in my opinion), to meet and socialize with the other students.
