Spanish Language Course in Barcelona II
Learn Spanish in Barcelona - Introduction
Barcelona is the capital of the province Catalonia and, after Madrid,
the second most important and
second largest city of Spain - both culturally and economically. The
capital of Catalonia is strongly influenced by the Mediterranean Sea,
which lends the city its special flair. When the World's Fair was held
here, it was symbolic of the creative power and the international
charisma of the city!
Barcelona is a real Mecca for art lovers, and has adapted itself to the
metropolises of Europe. This makes Barcelona by far to the "most
European" of all Spanish cities.
The
Spanish language course institute, with its large, bright classrooms and
modern audio-visual equipment, is located in the very centre of
Barcelona (you learn Spanish close to the University
campus), with convenient access to public means of transportation. There
is a Shopping centre next to the Spanish language school. The
international student body and faculty, outstanding equipment and high
level of learning make our school one of the most prestigious Spanish
language course institutes of Barcelona!
Our
institute in Barcelona offers a large selection of outstanding and
interesting Spanish language courses. Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city
with a lot to offer, in every aspect. In Catalonia, second mother tongue
is spoken, especially among the older generations. This language is
called Catalan. But don't be afraid, if they recognise that you are
speaking Spanish and not Catalan, they will usually switch into standard
Spanish language immediately.

Leisure Time and Excursions in and around Barcelona
A
cosmopolitan city like Barcelona offers a wide range of opportunities.
You can profit of these leisure time and cultural possibilities besides
your Spanish language course. Start your trip with the Barrio
Gótico (Gothic Quarter). There you will find many small shops and
restaurants in the narrow streets, which are also very close to the
famous flower market of "Las Ramblas".
Our
Spanish language school is situated only "a hop, skip and a jump" from
this fabulous area. What about visiting a museum? The Picasso museum
would be a terrific place to start.
Our
tip: Ask the Spanish language school for suggestions when planning
your leisure time activities.
Apartments
The
Spanish language school has apartments which are shared by Spanish
language course participants. Kitchen, bath, toilet and living room are
for common use.
Spanish Host Families
In Barcelona
you can stay with Spanish families who are carefully selected by the Spanish
language course institute. You can choose between bed and breakfast, half-board
and full board. Living with a Spanish host family is a very efficient way to
learn Spanish in the every day life.
Spanish Student Residences
Residences are
located in the center of Barcelona, about 20-30 minutes from our member school.
Students will meet Spanish and international students in a stimulating
environment. Students may choose between single or double room and even if
residences differ from each other, they all have facilities such as cafeteria,
library etc. Half board (breakfast & dinner) is included.
Studios
Equipped like apartments, but single use only. Studio I has one room,
studio II has two rooms.
Barcelona is within easy reach. A direct flight to Barcelona takes only
few hours. Depending where you come from it is also quite convenient to
arrive by train.
From
the Airport you can take a taxi directly to your accommodation (about
EUR 20). Alternatively, you can take the Airport Shuttle to Plaza
Espanya, Plaza Universidad (close to the Spanish language course
institute) or Plaza Catalunya and take a taxi to your accommodation from
there. Furthermore, the Metro system in Barcelona is convenient and
reasonably priced and it takes you to every point of the town. (a
ten-ride ticket costs 6.65 Euro; price not guaranteed, changes reserved)
You
can organise the flight by yourself. Ideally, the arrival day at the
Spanish language course destination is a Sunday, the best departure day
is a Saturday. (Extra nights can be booked, if you wish to arrive and
depart on other days.) You will receive more precise information (bus
lines, timetables, maps) with your travel documents after your booking.
