“I booked the semi-intensive course from 9am to 11am Monday to Friday even though I was only in Barcelona on vacation. I had a lot of Fun! The teacher was great, as were my classmates. We were of mixed ages, the youngest was 20, the average was 30-35, and I was by far the oldest. We were 7 or 8 people. They received me very warmly. If I ever take a city trip to Barcelona again, I will go straight to this school! If you can't do a whole week and you can only do 3 or 4 days, with this good price-performance ratio it doesn't matter if you miss 1 day. I will be back soon! One piece of advice, if you are not so young anymore, it is best to go outside of the holiday season.”

“The school is highly recommended for all age groups. Owner Milena has a very appreciative personal approach and took the time to accommodate me very well (course and shared flat). The 4 teachers I met are also very encouraging, super motivated and qualified. Learning Spanish was great fun in the relaxed atmosphere, also thanks to the versatile approach and learning material. Other plus points are the central location, close to the St. Antoni metro station and the market hall of the same name, and the fact that you were always welcome at a café in the common room, so that further meetings were possible, as well as the varied leisure activities.”
