    Overview

    Advance your Spanish skills and live like a Barcelones!

    Experience four weeks of Spanish language immersion in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, Spain, while exposed to the regional Catalan language. (And don’t worry—98% of barceloneses speak Spanish even if their primary language is Catalan!). Outside of language class, delve into conversations with locals while exploring colorful neighborhoods, strolling through bustling markets, and tasting delicious tapas. Mingle with Catalan teens and visit iconic cultural sites, such as the Gothic Quarter, the Picasso Museum, and the many marvels of world-renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. 

    At your homestay, savor the richness of Catalan life preparing traditional meals with your host family. During weekends, embark on exciting excursions to Mount Tibidabo, home to one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe, and Tarragona, a captivating World Heritage Roman city site by the sea. Your time in Barcelona will not only accelerate your Spanish but also leave you with lifelong memories: kicking around a soccer ball with new friends, hitting the beach, and discovering the creative spirit of the city.
