    Barcelona Spanish School

    Posted by kathybcn 16 May 2008

    This is a very professional and friendly Spanish school. I enrolled when I first got to Barcelona and it was great! The teachers and staff are nice and experienced and my classmates were from all over the world, so I met lots of interesting people as well as learning a new language! I definitely recommend it to everyone.

    You can find them here:
    Calle Rocafort, 104
    08015 Barcelona
    0034 93 426 98 22

    Try to speak Catalan

    Posted by lally 25 February 2006

    I live in Barcelona, and when I arrived I thought it would be a good idea to learn a bit of Spanish. Two-and-a-half years done the line, I now realise that although that´s a great start, it´s even more appreciated by the locals if you speak their own language, Catalan. So just try "Gracies" said like "gra-si-ess" or "bon dia" (good day) or bona nit (good night - like the Geordie "neet") and remember that the majority of the people here don´t feel Spanish so don´t wear a "torro" t-shirt (the famous bull logo).

    Instead, buy something with the now famous Catalan donkey logo - and you will make lots of friends in this beautiful city.
