The Spanish actually spoken in Barcelona, not textbook Spanish

Most likely, yes: continuation is planned for almost every level, at the same price as the first semester (see the "Second semester" table above). The dates are not final yet, so we confirm it in writing before you count on it.

Not for A1. From A2 it is compulsory, so that you start in a group where you can speak from day one.

Yes, though they are not combined: one applies. Family (siblings enrolled), 10% off the lower enrolment · single-parent or large family, 5% · university students, 10% · disability card, 10% on group courses (not on materials or the enrolment fee). We tell you at enrolment which one applies to you and how.

They will be indicative, as for the rest of the courses: they will reflect the calendar and the rates for the year, but the availability of each group changes in real time with enrolments and withdrawals. Exact timetable, place and final price are confirmed when you write to us.

This is confirmed, whatever the price: you have the whole first week of classes to decide. If the level, the pace or the group dynamic do not fit, write to the Academic Director within that week: we find a solution or, if you decide not to continue, refund the part of the course not used.

By default, yes: the place is reserved for the whole school year until June, not just the first semester. We remind you in January to confirm; if you do not want to continue, you need to say so in writing before the stated deadline. The February-to-June groups are still to be finalised: we confirm your exact timetable and group in January.

This is also confirmed, whatever the price: it depends on the payment option. Monthly, by direct debit; termly, direct debit or cash; one-off payment, direct debit, cash or card. We prefer direct debit in every case: it is the most convenient option and avoids missed payment dates.

Yes. Tell us their level and availability and we will suggest a group and a price. For companies, we have courses designed for FUNDAE funding.

Yes, if there is a place and your level fits a group already running. The price is adjusted to that situation; in that case the one-off payment prices do not apply.

Both are spoken, but Spanish is the one that gets you through at the doctor, at the town hall and in any shop from day one; Catalan comes later, and once your Spanish is in place it is much faster to learn. Here we teach the Spanish spoken in Barcelona, with what you need for the city.

Here, €145 a month for the standard course of 3.5 hours a week, €689 for each 8-hour-a-week intensive block, and from €39.60 an hour for private lessons. Course material and the enrolment fee are paid once. The full table, group by group, is on this page: what you see is what you pay.
