Overview
Our Culture Course is the perfect way to dive into life in Spain while you’re studying at Speakeasy BCN Spanish language school in Barcelona. Each class takes you on a journey through Spanish music, art, architecture, literature, gastronomy, traditions, and folklore, helping you understand what makes Spain so unique.
And while you’re learning about the culture, you’ll naturally practice your Spanish, listening, joining in discussions, and picking up expressions that make the language come alive.
At Speakeasy BCN, these classes are especially popular because you’ll not only improve your Spanish, but also feel more connected to the people and lifestyle around you.
Classes take place Monday to Friday from16:30–17:30 and can be paired with other group classes at Speakeasy BCN.

Get immersed in Spain’s traditions, art, and everyday life
We started learning practical Spanish from day one and by the end of the first week I was already able to have basic conversations with cashiers, friends, and people I met while out and about. There’s no better motivation than being able to use the words and phrases you learn in class to immediately connect with people. The quality of learning also stems from the quality of teaching, and I can’t speak highly enough of my professor at the school. In addition to a varied pedagogical approach (which keeps the whole class engaged for 4 hours at a time) and an endless amount of enthusiasm for the subject, she’s also a great source of knowledge about Spanish culture. She’s constantly recommending songs, books, food, festivals and other ways to engage with the language and culture outside of class. My classmates also bring a diverse range of backgrounds to the classroom. It’s great learning about Camino de Santiago with an architect in class who can talk about the history of Romanesque architecture in Spain, or learning about linguistic similarities between Spanish and Swedish, Dutch or German from students from those countries.
