"BCN offered one of the best language learning experiences I've had."

Madeleine Mcbrearty, student from Canada

I appreciated the structure of the course. I took a 4-week B1+ class, which was divided into two parts: grammar and conversation. I appreciated that the teachers were responsive and concerned about our understanding of the material. The class size was small and very conducive to full participation and optimal learning. The conversation portion of the course was not only practical but really fun with classmates from many countries. I would highly recommend BCN for all levels of learning.

"My language learning experience at BCN Languages was intensive and efficient but at the same time fun and laid back."

Riley James Ireland, student from USA

The class size at BCN Languages was quite small, my class size ranged from 2-10 which allowed for a very personal and interactive learning experience. The structure of the class was set up as such: 2 hours of grammar, 20 minute break, 2 hours of conversation. I thought that this was perfect because this allowed me to learn the new material and then put it into practice which proved very beneficial for actually learning and being able to use the language. No complaints whatsoever about the facilities or location. The teachers were fantastic. Very kind and very professional, they made learning Spanish very fun with different and engaging activities and conversation topics each day.
