Learn Spanish at Expanish Barcelona

When you walk into the boutique Expanish school at the Rua de Pau Claris, you feel as if you entered the newly refurbished living room of a young and hip couple. There are cosy couches, colourful carpets and cool wallpaper. There are statues and plants everywhere and there are colourful posters hanging on the wall. You’ll be surprised to find that you’re not at a boutique hotel at all, but at a language school!

The booking process was... A wonderful experience to remember for a lifetime long.
Since the first moment of booking my summer intensive Spanish language course online with Expanish Spanish language School, till the last minute this school was simply exceptional.
The booking process was smooth and punctual, they contacted me for the level test to make sure I will be put in the accurate class, they were very helpful and organized through the whole registration process and every single person was taken care of.
Our teacher Eva, was beyond magnificent, my words won't give her justice for her wonderful classes, given from the heart with professionalism and dedication, paying attention to each and every student and his needs, providing us with the highest quality learning and keeping the class ambience very friendly and funny at the same time. I felt that I have become more fluent speaking Spanish after taking this one-week course that was amusing as much as util.
I Highly recommend Expanish Language School for any one who needs to improve his/her Spanish language as it seems to me that they are the best in their field and offering the best information and high quality learning in the shortest time.
Thanks and regards for each and everyone of your team dear staff of Expanish School!!.

The lessons are very well structured and nicely paced by the knowledgeable teachers. All the teachers were fantastic and extremely patient when answering the mine and other students questions, which was helpful as certain parts were difficult to grasp. Expanish also arranged my accommodation with a host family, this was also a high standard and easily commutable to the school.

If you have the opportunity to attend the school, do not hesitate, you will not regret it.

A well organised course from the start with personal interviews to assess level, in our case very easy as we were true beginners. The school was in beautiful old building with classes which were held in light and airy rooms. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. The classes were well structured and with an excellent teacher, who knew how to present the language, it could not have been a better experience! . We were both very impressed from the first day and will be back in the autumn to do another class.
