What our students say.

Like a chat in a café, but in English

We create the most relaxed environment possible, like a conversation with friends in any café, so participants feel at ease and forget they’re in a class. It’s the only way someone dares to speak without weighing every word before saying it.

We work with group and pair activities, debates and round tables on current and sociocultural topics, starting from clips of films, the press, social media and audiovisual material. First the vocabulary and expressions for the topic, then the debate.

And what closes the circle is the teacher’s feedback. You improve a language by learning from your own mistakes, so corrections aren’t left for the end: they come at the right moment, without interrupting the conversation but without letting the important things slide.

The goal is for you to speak and enjoy it

Classes are designed so every participant speaks in every session. Topics are always current and chosen with the group’s hobbies and tastes in mind, whether cultural, political, economic or social. If a topic isn’t interesting, nobody talks, and then there’s no conversation class. We use conversation as the main tool so you can express your ideas and opinions effectively and concisely, and so your conversations in English become more varied, coherent and natural. There’s no fixed syllabus and you can join at any time of the year. Come and meet us at Aragó 119 or write to us with your questions.

What you ask us most.

Who are the conversation classes for?

Adults who specifically want to improve their communication skills, not their grammar. If what holds you back isn't knowing English but daring to speak it, this is the course for you.

What level do I need for conversation classes?

We work with all levels and form groups by level. What matters is having enough of a base to hold a simple conversation. If you're unsure, we do a free level test and tell you whether conversation or the general course suits you better.

How much do conversation classes cost?

€225 per term or €650 for the full school year, for both the morning and evening options. On top of that: a €40 registration fee and €15/year for books and materials.

What's the difference between English & Wine and English & Tea/Coffee?

The schedule and what's on the table. English & Tea/Coffee is in the morning, from 10:00 to 11:30 am or 12:00 to 1:30 pm, with tea or coffee. English & Wine is in the evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm or 8:00 to 9:30 pm, with a glass of wine. The class format is the same and they cost the same.

Can I join mid-year?

Yes. You can join at any time of the year. Since there's no fixed linear syllabus, starting in January or March doesn't leave you behind.

How many students are in each group?

Between 4 and 8. If a group doesn't reach the minimum of 4, we shorten the class while keeping the same price.

What exactly happens in a conversation class?

We start from a current or sociocultural topic, usually with a clip from a film, the press, social media or other audiovisual material. We work on the vocabulary and expressions for the topic, followed by debates, dialogues and role plays, in groups and in pairs.

Does the teacher correct you or just let you talk?

They correct you. A conversation group without feedback is a chat between friends: useful but limited. The teacher analyzes and corrects, because learning from your own mistakes is what really improves fluency.

Is it true about the glass of wine?

Yes. In evening sessions we offer you a glass of wine, and in morning ones a tea or coffee. It's not a marketing trick: people speak much better when they're relaxed and don't feel like they're taking an exam.

Can we choose what to talk about?

Largely, yes. There's no fixed syllabus and topics are chosen with the group's hobbies and interests in mind. If the group is into film, you talk about film.

How is it different from the general adult course?

The general course builds your level in a structured way: grammar, vocabulary and all four skills. Conversation puts all the weight on speaking. They cost the same, so the choice depends on whether you need to build a base or gain confidence.

How do I reserve a spot, and what if I cancel?

You reserve a spot with a €100 deposit toward the course. Cancellations require 15 days' notice.
