Afternoon Immersive Spanish 20h Long-term Course Overview
Our Afternoon Immersive Program offers the same balanced approach to Spanish learning as our midday Immersive course, but with a later schedule and a fixed academic calendar for students committed to a full-year stay in Spain.
In this program, you'll combine:
General Spanish Classes: Monday to Friday, 17:30 – 19:30
Spanish Reinforcement Workshops: Monday to Friday, 15:30 – 17:30
In total, you’ll study 10 hours of core Spanish lessons + 10 hours of workshops per week. During the first 12 weeks (A1 to A2 levels), workshops cover a variety of rotating topics such as pronunciation and speaking fluency, everyday vocabulary and life skills in Spain, listening comprehension through media and real-world materials and practical grammar in context. You can attend these workshops based on your interests and language needs. From B1 onward, workshops shift to Conversation and Culture classes for more in-depth speaking practice and cultural immersion.
This program meets the requirements for a student visa in Spain. Key features include:

Turn theory into practice with immersive activities and skill-building workshops
My husband and I spent 5 weeks with Speakeasy BCN learning Spanish. We started at the very beginning (0 Spanish) and have learned so much in our short month in Barcelona.
These classes were a great investment of time and money, and we truly feel that we got the most out of our experience. Additionally, Speakeasy is comprised of a number of people from all backgrounds and ages, so we were able to make a number of friends and really find a great community here.
The staff of Speakeasy are also incredibly helpful, and are always available for questions. Having the added support of the Speakeasy BCN team really made our time in Barcelona all the better. We were also so grateful to have the opportunity to partake in their regular group outings and trips organized by Speakeasy. If you're looking for a place to start your Spanish lessons, look no further :)
