School identity and location: Linguaschools Barcelona is a boutique-style Spanish school for adult learners and part of the Linguaschools Spanish language school network. The school is located in central Barcelona, between Plaza Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia and the Sagrada Familia area, with easy access to public transport, shops, cafés, restaurants and many of the city’s main cultural areas.

School buildings and facilities: The Barcelona school has two central school buildings with distinctive outdoor spaces, including private gardens and rooftop terraces. These spaces give students places to relax, study, meet classmates and take part in school activities outside the classroom. Classrooms are equipped for in-person Spanish lessons, with digital screens or projectors used where relevant to support teaching. Courses may take place at either one of these buildings, depending on the time of year and level of the student.

Courses and teaching approach: The school offers intensive Spanish courses for different levels and study durations, from short stays to longer-term study. Course options include general Spanish, DELE/SIELE exam preparation, private lessons, evening Spanish courses, and university pathway options where applicable. Classes are taught in small groups by qualified native Spanish-speaking teachers using a communicative Spanish immersion method, with teachers adapting the pace and classroom focus to the level and goals of each group.

Student life and getting around: Linguaschools Barcelona organises a year-round cultural activity programme for adult students, helping them discover local culture, neighbourhoods, food, traditions and social life beyond the classroom. Accommodation options are available within approximately 15–25 minutes' travel distance of the school, depending on the option and availability. The school is close to metro, train and bus connections, making it easy for students to move around Barcelona before and after class.

“The location of the school was good.”
“Very impersonal. We were only informed about activities in the second week. The classrooms were also placed next to each other, even though there were enough free rooms. It was very noisy, and you could hear what was being said in the other classes. We will definitely book another Spanish course, but not at this school. The lessons focused heavily on grammar and the teachers seemed rather unmotivated...”

“Everyone was extremely friendly and well organized. Every group has two teachers that change from time to time so that students benefit from a variety of teaching styles. I also liked that the school conducts very extensive level tests after the completion of one language level so that students know if they are ready to proceed to the next level or not. The school is beautifully located in L’Eixample and surrounded by cafes and restaurants.
The weekly activities (around 3 each week) were fun and well chosen, but sometimes cancelled due to low attendance.”
“Not a weakness, but just an idea: Instead of having a welcome sangria every Monday after class (which is only attended by very few students, sadly), there could be a game with all students in the beginning of the lessons, so that it’s possible to get to know students from different levels and classes.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I learned a lot and the group had a good size (6-10 students, depending on attendance).
School's reply: Thank you very much for your detailed 5-star review, Jana! We’re very happy to hear that your three weeks at Linguaschools Barcelona were such a positive experience. It’s great to know that you appreciated the friendly team, the organisation, the two-teacher system, and the level tests, which are all important parts of helping students progress with confidence.We’re also glad you enjoyed the location in Eixample, the cafés and restaurants around the school, and the weekly activities. Thank you as well for your suggestion about helping students from different classes get to know each other more easily — that’s a lovely idea, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving the student experience.

“Very friendly staff and teachers. Water and two textbooks were provided free of charge. Three activities during our week. We took part in the sangria welcome drink (free) and the paella meal in the restaurant around the corner (at our own expense). There was also a cinema on the beach.”
“Actually, everything was great. Tip: Since the air conditioning in the classroom was sometimes a bit cold, please always bring a jumper or jacket with you.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: My course, the teachers and the course participants were great!

“Small class at the curso de conversación. Different levels were put together. Low level student gave up after one session. Teacher Ana-Marie was very good and addressed the main mistakes.”
“Reception staff were polite, but gave contradictory or even incorrect information. The Barceloneta classroom was reverberant as there were no materials to absorb the room sound. Results of the required online written tests were only given out on request and only the answers were cryptic. The questions were missing and therefore errors were not comprehensible. An alleged oral test for categorisation did not take place.”
School's reply: Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, Kirsten. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the small Conversation 10 class and that Ana-Marie was able to support you well by focusing on the main mistakes.

“The school organised everything very well. Communication was excellent. The teachers were all very nice and very competent. Evening activities were offered on 3 days and were well attended.”
“In addition to 4 hours of group lessons per day, I also had one hour of private lessons per day. Unfortunately, my second teacher in the private lesson was not ideal for me, as in my opinion a beginner needs someone who should speak English as well as Spanish.”
School's reply: Thank you very much for your thoughtful review, Paulina!

“Easy to book, quick replies to e-mails before starting the course, easy to complete the online pre-course level test and the oral tests for all of the students were done on the first morning quickly enough that none of us lost any teaching time on the first day, good quality of teaching, friendly teachers and administration staff, textbooks provided free of charge and you can keep these when you leave, nice terrace at the front of the school and nice rooftop terraces, good WiFi, snacks and drinks available to purchase at reception, plenty of places to get food and drink nearby, central location, during the winter (I went in January) organized social / cultural activities offered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings (which I think is relatively good for a winter programme), classes had a good range of students of different ages and nationalities”
“Class sizes relatively large (my first class had 13 people and on the second day I moved into a class of 11 - I moved because I was put into a class with too low a level initially), most of the social / cultural activities were cancelled (5/6 in the 2 weeks I was there) as they wanted a minimum of 5 students to sign up and not enough people signed up”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Good option.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Group course with additional private lessons (1h per day) was exhausting, but very useful.
Other comments: It would be better if courses alternated every week. I had classes from midday to evening both weeks, so I hardly had any time to do anything in Barcelona besides classes.

“Everyone is super friendly and helpful at all times. Great school with a good location.”
“Some classrooms have no daylight. Personally, it was damn hard for me to understand the teachers due to the masks and some of them spoke too quickly to me, even if we pointed this out to them several times. Some students, including myself, were put in a class with other students who had much more knowledge or who had already completed more weeks of language school.”
Insider tip: “My opinion: book a few weeks (3-4) to see if it is something for you. However, this is still a bit difficult to assess, as some teachers were changed after a few weeks. One speaks too quickly, the other practices less and shows more short videos ...”

"The flat was nice and clean and close enough to the school. I felt it was a bit far from the city centre, however (it was near Joanic metro station), but had I rented a bike it wouldn't have felt as far. That being said, there was a market directly outside my front door and a Lidl on the next street, which was very convenient!

"Friendly host and the breakfast he made was good but I was disappointed that I was not allowed to use the kitchen to cook supper for myself - I did not realize that I needed to specifically ask for a host that allows this as in the past with Homestays in other cities I have done this was always allowed. I will know this for future Homestays. The host did offer to let me use the washing machine.

"Nurea cooked amazing meals and was very attentive. The room was small and comfortable. There was a cabinet for my clothes and 2 drawers in the shower. I was there during the summer so it was hot and uncomfortable without a fan or A/C. The balcony was outside my door and the garbage smell was strong. I was instructed to use the water very sparingly and turn off the shower while I use the soap. The location is not in the best neighbourhood and a bit far from the school and the major sites. Nurea was kind to do my laundry for me the day before I left. I spent 4 nights at her home.

Student reviews about Shared Apartment - big bedroom
Christian
Accommodation: 2.0
Location: 5.0
Room: 3.0
"The school only outsources to commercial housing companies. The location and basic facilities are reasonable for the price. Throughout my course, however, I had a rather negative experience in terms of living together (you shouldn't have false expectations here, as it was very much a case of living past each other without any real consideration for the flatmates in terms of tidiness, cleanliness, noise, etc.). In addition, my room had several defects (air conditioning did not work, door was a glass door that was semi-transparent). On explicit request (complaint was passed on by the school) at least the door was repaired. In return, however, the rental company insisted on a late check-in fee, which could certainly have been waived as a gesture of goodwill. Conclusion: the basic facilities (possibility of a single room with your own bed) and location of the flats is a definite plus point in favour of this option, but living together is just as (...anonnym practical?) in a hostel shared room. At the end of the day, it's still the commercial letting companies that want to make a profit.

Linguaschool’s fully equipped shared apartments are within walking distance of the school, and you will live with either your fellow students or Spanish locals. In both cases, this represents the opportunity to continue communicating in Spanish even outside of the classroom. These apartments are all situated in popular neighbourhoods, so you will get an authentic feel for Barcelona during your time here while discovering what each nearby street has to offer.

Many students choose this living option due to the independence that you have when compared to homestay accommodation, as you will not have to adapt to another family’s customs or timetable - which is not for everyone. Common areas such as the kitchen and living room will be shared spaces that have to be mutually cared for, but you will have a bathroom all to yourself.

"Unfortunately, the bathroom smelled bad from the drain. The flat was in a very old building (very noisy!) in the Gothic Quarter in a great location. Although none of the other flats were rented out, we could hear the people in the flat next door and those above and below us. Unfortunately, we had the misfortune that someone had left without disposing of the rubbish, washing up or emptying the fridge. There were no rubbish bags, so we bought some so we could take out the rubbish.

Questions and answers about Linguaschools

Will a certificate of attendance be issued at the end of the course?
“At the end of the course, the students will receive the certificate end of the course if they have 80% attendance.”
Zou, Administration from Linguaschools, Barcelona - Aug 17, 2023
I am looking for a way to get my language level officially recognised. Now of course there is DELE, but my institution also gave two other options:



(b) Certificado oficial de nivel avanzado (nivel B2) de español para extranjeros, expedido conforme a lo previsto en el artículo 61 de la Ley Orgánica 2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación, por las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas.



(c) Certificado de Aptitud en español para extranjeros expedido por las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas.



Do you know what kind of certificates these are and the procedure to obtain them?
“The DELE exam is the official exam taken through the Instituto Cervantes. Students have to apply for this exam themselves through the Cervantes website. It can be taken in Spain and around the world. It is an internationally recognised exam that costs between 130-200 euros depending on the level. It usually takes about 2-3 months to get the results for this exam and the registration period is usually 6-8 weeks before the exam date.



For the second option, I am not sure if we would count or not - there are schools called 'Escuela Oficial de Idiomas' where you can take a course and therefore receive a certificate at the end. We are an Instituto Cervantes-approved school, but we are not the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas. So in this case, students should double-check whether a B2 certificate from a Cervantes-accredited private language school would suffice.”
Janine, Administration from Linguaschools, Barcelona - Mar 16, 2023
Is it possible to book the homestay without meals (room only)?
“We don’t offer accommodation in host family with room only. The minimum is with breakfast.”
Janine, Coordinator from Linguaschools, Barcelona - Nov 15, 2022
Does this school offer activities?
“Linguaschools offers weekly activities and weekend excursions, all year round. Activities vary per week and are communicated to you at the school. Some activities are free of charge. For other activities a small fee is charged to cover costs such as transport, museum entrance, etc. The activities and excursions on our website are merely an indication of the things we regularly offer. In most schools we create the activity programme only one week in advance, so we cannot say with certainty what activities will be running when you are at the school. Activities might require a minimum number of students.”
Ángel Marcos Portoles, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 08, 2022
I'm currently in the group course Level A2.2. Is there a final test at the end of the course?
“At the end of each level, the student takes a short exam (written + oral). The whole group takes the exam, so we recommend doing it as it shows the student how far they have come etc.

FAQ about Linguaschools, Barcelona

I'm a complete beginner, and I know nothing about Spanish. I'm even scared to think about the effect of immersion in a foreign communication environment. How can I learn a foreign language like this while in another country?
“You need to attend group classes and conversation clubs as often as possible! The more classes you attend, the more actively you participate, and the faster you will develop the skill of correct language proficiency!”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 31, 2023
I would like to join an intensive 20 course, but I can only join in the morning class. However, I read that the schedule is made on the first day. Would it be possible to guarantee the morning class before I sign up?
“Classes can be in the mornings or afternoons as it depends on the number of groups, level of the student etc.

If a student has a very concrete reason why they can only attend morning or afternoon classes; for example they are working or they are studying, they can send us a document to prove this (from the employer or the university for example) and then we can give that student priority over others.

But I cannot say 100% without fail they will have morning classes.”
Janine, Administration from Linguaschools - Aug 01, 2023
When should I book leisure programmes and excursions from the school?
“The list of current leisure programmes for the week is announced every Monday morning. You will be given a detailed description of each activity and told by what day and time you need to sign up. You can book and pay for the activities at the school's secretariat. Some excursions require a minimum number of participants and will be finalised once there is a group.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 03, 2023
I can only follow lessons with a morning schedule. How can I know if it will be confirmed before registering?
“The timetable of each course is always noted in the comments inside the course section.
If you select a course where there are morning/afternoon time slots, that is because there are classes on both slots.
If the timetable of the course you want does not suit your needs, let us know as sometimes we can organised personalised packages!”
Antonio, Area Manager Italian from Linguaschools - Aug 03, 2022
Are there any classes on the bank holiday?
“Lessons are in general from Monday to Friday. We are closed during weekends and bank holidays. We would recuperate 50% of the group classes and all of the private classes.”
Janine, Administration from Linguaschools Barcelona - Jul 04, 2022
Linguaschools offers courses for which ages?
“Linguaschools offers courses from 16 years to 99. The average age is 22 during the summer and 26 the rest of the year.”
