The Academic Spanish Course is ideal for foreigners who live, study or work in Spain and wish to improve their knowledge of Spanish in a short time.

The Standard Spanish Course integrates grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading comprehension, and written and spoken expression.

Our approach to teaching and learning Spanish is based on the communicative method and puts the student at the centre of the class, continuously involving him/her in the grammatical reflections and oral practice for content consolidation.

The groups are small, never more than 9 students, to ensure intense practice of the language and individual monitoring of each student. All of the students enrolled in each group must first take a level test (except for complete beginners).

The level test is free with no obligation and includes a written part (website) and an oral part (at the centre). This test guarantees that each group has the same level.

With these courses, the syllabus for one level of Spanish is completed in 3 months, with the exception of beginner level which is completed in 6 months: from October to December, January to March, and April to June. At the end of the course, the student is given a diploma certifying his/her command of the language in accordance with the CEFR descriptors.

The standard course is complemented with free extra services for the students: self-study grammar exercises, lending of suitable reading material for each course and lending of original version films subtitled in other languages.

Private Spanish Classes are the best option for customising a course to each individual's needs and goals.

The student decides the duration, times and intensity of the course which will take place in Barcelona, Spain, and the syllabus he/she wants to work on. Once these parameters have been defined, the centre's Academic Coordinator will design a study programme with the teacher that meets the student's expectations.

These private Spanish lessons offer a degree of flexibility that other Spanish classes do not have:

Cancelling and making up one to one Spanish classes: anyone who cannot attend a class in Barcelona for personal or work reasons can cancel the class and make it up at a later date, provided that at least 24 hours' advanced notice is given.

Duration: each student can extend his/her one to one Spanish lessons by the number of hours or days he/she considers necessary. He/she can also temporarily stop the lessons for as long as he/she may require.

Course content: although there is a baseline programme defined by the student, the classes' content and focus can be changed at any time or the student can ask for "subjects à la carte" to cover any specific area.

The summer is without doubt the best period of the year to enjoy Barcelona and Spain, and at the same time, to learn Spanish through intensive courses.

The summer Spanish courses we offer at BCN Spanish Language run from May until the end of September. Students can take Spanish classes from a minimum of one week up to a maximum of 22 weeks.

Students can start their course every Monday with the exception of absolute beginners, who need to start their course on specific dates marked on the calendario. These usually begin on the first Monday of each month.

Our summer Spanish courses take place in the mornings from 9:30 to 13:30 0r to 14:30. This schedule allows students to make the most of their course, enjoy the sun, the beach and Barcelona during the rest of the day and also travel to other regions of Spain during weekends.

Studying Spanish in the summertime through specific intensive courses is complemented by cultural and social activities which our Spanish school organizes for students in the afternoons, evenings and weekends.

Our goal is for you to have fun and enjoy Barcelona, while at the same time, immersing yourself in the language and culture of Spain.

The goal of the DELE Preparatory Course in Barcelona, Spain is to prepare the student to take the examination for the Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) with the dedication and intensity required to pass this official examination.

During the course, we will work on the DELE examination's structure, highlighting the tests that normally cause significant difficulties: oral and written expression (grammar, spelling and sentence structure).

We prepare for DELE examination levels B2 and C1 in small groups of no more than 9 people to guarantee personal attention for each student.

With a duration of 4 weeks, the DELE preparation courses in Barcelona are scheduled before each examination: in May, July and November.

The DELE exams in Spain are held throughout the Country and in Barcelona, too. Our preparation courses are ideal for students who already have the language level required, but want to get familiar with the DELE B2 and DELE C1 exam’s structure.
