24 Spanish General Courses for adults in Barcelona

You can start the class on any day of the week. The school needs to know your level and they will offer you different options. (Complete beginners are recommended to start on the Monday.)

The 20-hour-per-week Intensive Spanish course follows the tried and tested model of working on the main pillars of language learning: grammar & vocabulary, speaking, listening, and writing.

This school believes that particular importance should be given to communication skills when studying Spanish, as a student’s confidence in their abilities is a large factor in how much they will use and therefore expand their skills.

There are groups at all official ability levels (from A1 to C2), and you will be assigned to a group that most closely corresponds with where your Spanish language skills currently are (this can be changed later if necessary).

Most of your classes will take place in the classroom, but you can also expect to be taken out as a group around Barcelona from time to time, as a way of making the learning experience more fun and dynamic.

The Intensive courses take place in groups of a maximum of 10 students, with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities. These small groups will ultimately have you speaking more Spanish, as you will feel encouraged and more comfortable participating verbally with your teacher and your colleagues.

You will cover all areas of Spanish, including vocabulary building, grammar, oral expression, listening, writing, and reading. The classes are typically in the mornings but may be in the afternoon depending on circumstances. Please consult Linguaschools for confirmation.
