Barcelona, Oct 2025

I started classes in September and I'm still going. The teachers are great, the people are nice, and it's well run, with a nice small class size so I get plenty of personal attention. I'm studying at their second campus on Consell Descent which feels brand new, everything is fresh and clean, and I've definitely seen improvements in my spoken Spanish and comprehension. I'd recommend them and the price feels like great value.

Review of Kingsbrook Barcelona, Oct 2025

I wanted to learn Spanish and took the 2-month intensive course, with 3 hours of lessons per day. It was a great experience - very professional, well-structured, and engaging. The teacher made learning enjoyable and easy to follow, and I could really see my progress week by week. The classes were interactive, practical, and focused on real communication, which helped me gain confidence quickly. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Spanish effectively in a short time!

Review of Speak Daily, Sep 2026

I started lessons with Mika very recently because I’ve always had a love for languages, and this feels like a great way to practice and immerse yourself in the conversational part of the language. I feel like my confidence is up a little bit because you’re getting feedback in real time and you’re immersing yourself in it without feeling too stressed about it because it’s quite conversational. The lessons are nice and quick, easy enough to fit into your day, and it doesn’t feel like a chore. I’ve done other language classes, and this one just feels above the rest, much easier and a lot less tedious, and I’ve been happy so far.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring spanish language schools in Barcelona.

Are there English-speaking spanish language schools in Barcelona?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring spanish language schools in Barcelona?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring spanish language schools in Barcelona?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Spanish is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say spanish language schools in Spanish?
In Spanish, spanish language schools are usually called escuelas de espanol. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find spanish language schools I can trust in Barcelona?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
