Accommodation
Host family
Being immersed in the culture of a country is without doubt one of the best ways to learn the language. Living with a Spanish family will allow you to get to know the way of life of the locals, their customs and cuisine, and to enjoy a really enriching experience. It’s also an opportunity to practise your Spanish on a daily basis and in authentic contexts. Host families are chosen with care and know the school well. They generally live around 30 minutes away from the language school. You will stay in a single room with half board provided.
Shared apartment
For more independent students, our partner school offers the option of staying in an apartment, located around 30 minutes away from the school. This is a great way to get to know other international students, with whom you will share all of the common rooms of the apartment. You will stay in a single or double room and meals are not provided.

Leisure
Imagine yourself on the Costa Brava, gazing at the Mediterranean and enjoying a refreshing drink, after having climbed one of the lofty towers of the Sagrada Familia… As well as the tempting program of activities proposed by the school (evenings at the beach, Spanish films, salsa dance lessons, nights out for paella, cavas and tapas, wine tasting and excursions), in Barcelona you have “at your doorstep”: the sea, if you want to go sailing, and the mountains for hiking or skiing in the winter-time. The magic of Gaudi awaits you just near the school, via the passeig de Gràcia, numbers 35, 37, 39, 41, 43 and 92, among others, and of course there is always the option of going out at night to an open-air disco, after an aperitif by the harbour! The capital city of nightlife, the birthplace of modern architecture, and a dream destination for the most romantic strolls… Barcelona! Can you imagine a better place to learn Spanish?

Testimonial
Elisabeth Braunert
Spanish was always one of my dream languages that I really wanted to learn. Now, I finally had the possibility. But where should I go? I decided on Barcelona. It was a dream to be able to live in this city. It is so full of life and culture. On every street corner, you can find something new and exciting. I was able to relax on the beach best and watch the time pass by. I will never forget this language study stay!
