Course overview

Our Long-term Spanish courses are a great option if you want to learn Spanish and enjoy living in Barcelona for a longer period of time. These courses meet the requirements to apply for a student visa in Spain.

In our Long-term Accelerated Spanish program, you’ll study 20 hours of Spanish each week and cover up to 6 levels of the CASA program. Classes are 4 hours each day, Monday through Friday, from 9h – 13h. 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. You’ll also have the option to include the DELE exam preparation course in packages from 36 weeks and more.

This program is intended for those who would like to take advantage of their time in Barcelona and fully commit to learning as much Spanish as possible. No other program delivers the same results or will increase your level or Spanish faster than the Accelerated Spanish program at Speakeasy.

Insurance

In addition to the comfort of knowing that you will be fully covered throughout your stay in Spain, many student visas require students to be covered with comprehensive medical insurance. If you plan to stay in Spain for more than 180 days and you need a long-term student visa (type D), you must have insurance with full coverage of medical services in Spain.

Reviews

Werner Van Laack Speakeasy, October 2021

The whole experience at Speakeasy is great. My booking with Kenny was very easy and he did great with providing me the courses that I need to improve my level in Spanish. The reception in general is very friendly and helpful, same as the whole staff. I had various courses at Speakeasy (Intensive course, conversation class and business class) and every class I attended was fun and improved my Spanish. The teachers I had are very experienced, take care of each student and lead the classes in a fun way with a focus on a good atmosphere for learning. I would like to highlight the activities organized by Lina. They were my absolute favorites no matter what. We had great nights discovering famous bars or playing volleyball on the beach. The activities were really great to meet new people from all over the world while improving your Spanish. I would like to return to Speakeasy next year for more courses and would recommend Speakeasy in every way possible!

FAQs

Does living with a host family include meals?

You have the option to choose a stay with no meals, with breakfast only or with half board (breakfast and dinner).

Do I have to pay for the course fee upfront in full?

Yes, the payment for the course 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.

Can I do a trial class?

We do not offer trial classes due to class planning and organization. You can, however, enrol in one week of class to see if it is the right fit for you and then prolong your booking if you choose to do so. If the level or type of course doesn’t suit you, we are always happy to switch you to a higher or lower level or different timetable.
