Learning to Speak Spanish in Barcelona
|
"If you already know us then words are not necessary, and if you do not know us yet, I am Demetrio Sánchez, the Director of Studies at the don Quijote school in Barcelona. I presume that you want to learn Spanish. I can also imagine why you want to learn it: work, study or just for fun -which is, by the way, a magnificent reason. I also understand your doubts: Where? Barcelona? Why? The Ramblas, the Barceloneta, the Güell Park, the Sagrada Familia, Gaudí, Dalí... But all that is not enough without human warmth, without people. My colleagues and I know this from our experience, which is why we want to offer you our personal side as well as our professional side as much as possible. We are people who work with people, and when we give lessons in Spanish we try to make friends. The decision is yours." |

- Barcelona is a city with style,allure and an unbelievable number of things to do, from art to gastronomy to pop music. The city has a clear metropolitan character. For some students that can take a bit of getting used to. If that is the case you might consider studying first of all in another city for a while. Most of our students, though, really feel at home in Barcelona. And rightly so, because Barcelona is an experience in its own right.
