We’re thrilled to welcome back familiar faces and meet new students!

Our part-time Spanish course runs from 7:00 PM to 8:50 PM, twice a week. This schedule is perfect for those who work or study during the day but still want to dedicate time to improving their Spanish. We focus on maximizing the productivity of each session, ensuring you make the most of the time you have.

The course has a fixed start date and duration, so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to contact us for more details.

For those outside of Spain, we also offer online groups with the same schedule and intensity, so you can learn from anywhere.

2024 has been an incredible year, and we have had the pleasure of meeting many students from around the world. We are truly grateful for this experience!

At Linguaschools Barcelona, we wanted to celebrate the end of the year in a distinctly Spanish way. This celebration wasn’t just about transitioning into a new year—it was also an immersive experience where our students could discover how we in Spain usher in the New Year.

In Spain, the countdown to midnight is a key moment of celebration, marked by the tradition of eating twelve grapes—one for each stroke of the clock. This tradition is known as las doce uvas de la suerte, or “the twelve grapes of luck.” It is believed that eating the grapes brings good luck for each of the twelve months of the coming year. The idea is that each grape represents one month, and eating all twelve before the clock finishes chiming is thought to ensure good fortune for the year ahead.

In Spain, one of the most famous places to watch the event is la Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where a large clock strikes twelve. People across the country gather around their television screens or head to town squares to join in this iconic moment.

At Linguaschools, we projected the Puerta del Sol clock in one of our classrooms, and together we welcomed the year 2025! There’s no better way

to start the new year than with this shared experience. Though eating the grapes can be a bit tricky, our students did an amazing job! We’re so happy to have celebrated this special moment with them, alongside all the staff at the school.

We wish all our students the best of luck in the coming year—and of course, much more Spanish!

Now, we are fully ready to dive into 2025!

We love the festive atmosphere, the lights, and the joy that this time of year brings. That’s why we’ve transformed the entrance of our school to ensure that the Christmas spirit wraps around everyone who visits. A huge Christmas tree stands proudly in the lobby, decorated with colorful baubles, bright lights, garlands, and, of course, a large star on top.

Our beloved Tió de Nadal, a typical Catalan Christmas tradition, is also part of the celebration. Every week, we feed him so that, on the big day, when we sing his special song, he can surprise us with gifts and treats.

Throughout this month, we’ll be doing Christmas-related activities, and of course, in our lessons, we’ll be working on Christmas vocabulary, grammar, and expressions so that our students can learn more about our culture.

It’s time to be enveloped by the warmth of this season and enjoy all the activities and surprises that await us. How exciting!

Last week, we said goodbye to a very special student: Natalie! During her time with us, she dedicated no less than 1040 hours to learning Spanish.

Natalie arrived last year from the United States to Linguaschools with the goal of completing all the hours of the Intensive 20 course!

Although she was a complete beginner in the language at first, her motivation to learn and discover never waned. Month by month, she progressed through the levels, learning more and more, until she reached level C1! Today, she is a true expert in Spanish.

The farewell was very emotional, as during her stay, Natalie made many great friends at the school. Even former students who are still in Barcelona came to say goodbye. For the Linguaschools team, it was also a special moment, as we shared many hours with her both in class and during activities.
We are very proud of her progress and happy to see how much her Spanish has improved. We wish her the best, and as always, Natalie knows she can visit us whenever she wants. It will be a pleasure to see her again!

Fridays are always emotional days, but we are very happy to see the satisfaction of our students and the progress they have made. How beautiful is the journey of learning Spanish!

This week we decided to do something different and we went on a night visit to Poble Espanyol!

Located on Montjuïc Hill, Poble Espanyol is a true open-air museum that transports visitors through the rich culture, architecture, and traditions of Spain’s diverse regions. Built for the 1929 International Exposition, this picturesque complex recreates the streets and squares of a typical Spanish village, with its houses, craft workshops, restaurants, and cultural spaces.

So, without leaving Barcelona we have been able to observe the different architectures of all the corners of Spain. All this while enjoying good company, reinforcing our Spanish and discovering a new part of the city.

Be sure to check out the venue’s website as they offer different activities and festivals every week. We can’t wait to find out what’s coming up next, can you?

When we approached it by train we could already begin to make out the characteristic and unique landscape of this very special mountain. As we went up with the Cable Car we could appreciate the height of the Monastery!

This convent houses and protects the Virgin of Montserrat, popularly known as ‘La Moreneta’. Legend has it that in the year 880 some shepherds saw a great light coming down from the sky and when they went to the cave that was illuminated they found the Virgin. This led to the construction of a chapel and since then people have been making pilgrimages to visit this iconic brown Virgin.

With our visit we were able to enter the Monastery and get a close-up view of the Moreneta, who is today the icon of Catalan culture. Then we climbed up to the Cross of Sant Miquel, from where there are unique views!

We were able to enjoy a different kind of day, disconnecting from the big city and discovering new landscapes and icons. When do we come back?

After a great adventure in Barcelona, some students have to say goodbye to the school. On Friday, when classes end, we have a special moment to say goodbye and give them a certificate that shows all the hours they have spent studying at the school!

Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye to students who have been here for a long time. And it is also difficult to say goodbye to people we have got to know better! But they all know very well that this is not a goodbye and that the doors of Linguaschools Barcelona will always be open to welcome them back!

It is not a sad moment. It is a great time of celebration and admiration for all they have achieved!

Enhorabuena estudiantes! Congratulations students!

But this Friday we did something different. We organised a big paella at school! Paella is one of the most popular dishes in Spain. It has its origins in Valencia and is a special kind of cooking with a wide variety of ingredients. We were able to see live how it is prepared and how much dedication it takes to make it the right way.

Paella is also known for bringing people together to celebrate, so the students and staff of Linguaschools got together for dinner and a good time. We were able to practise our Spanish and get to know the teachers and staff a little better.

We had all the ingredients for a perfect afternoon at the school!

Since its construction in 1640, this castle has been the scene of many important events in Catalan history. It was from here that the city of Barcelona was bombed during the wars and revolutions. We were able to better understand and imagine these episodes thanks to the visit to the museum, which has so many audiovisual archives.

Today, thanks to its strategic location, we have the opportunity to enjoy an amazing view of Barcelona, its port and its coastline.

We had a wonderful day, enjoying the sun, the views and learning more about the history of Catalonia. Why don’t you join us next time?
