"Best language school in Barcelona!"

ILA exceeded my expectations as a language school in Barcelona. The curriculum was well-structured and the teachers did such a good job of getting everyone talking. I also really appreciated the small group sizes.

“I can’t wait to go back!”

I had such a good experience from start to finish. ILA helped me get my visa and after 6 months of studying I’m so much more confident speaking Spanish. I’m back home but I’m preparing for another 6 months as soon as I can!

Mary-Anne WeedsIntensive Spanish

Frequently Asked Questions

Ver más preguntas frecuentes

I am a complete beginner. Does the teacher speak my language?

Yes. Although our Spanish instructors conduct all courses in Spanish, they all speak some English and can assist with translations as needed. Due to our level system, you will be placed with other new learners.

What will the classes be like?

The specific content varies based on your level, but all classes are fun, dynamic, and taught in small groups (maximum 8 students), with a focus on speaking and listening. Teachers incorporate activities from the textbook and the interactive whiteboard into all lessons.

What is the ‘communicative approach’?

The communicative approach is a teaching method that emphasises students interacting in real, ‘authentic’ scenarios in order to learn a language. Nowadays it is considered one of the most effective methods of language learning. You can read more about it here.

Will I be able to combine this with my studies and work?

Yes, if you do the taster course you will only do 2 hours per week for 3 weeks, so you are not overloaded during your course. With the other courses, we have morning, afternoon and evening timetables so you can fit around your work schedule.

Do I need to speak Spanish to teach English in Spain?

No. English is the only language used in the classroom and we want to show you how you can teach without using a word of the foreign language. However, you will get a lot more from your experience if you take the time to learn some Spanish and engage with the local culture.
