Hear from our families.

They learn without realizing they're studying

During the week, students work with the vocabulary and expressions related to the situation we’ve set them. When Thursday comes and it’s time to present, they’ve already internalized it. There’s no cramming the night before: the learning has happened while they researched and discussed.

That’s what active learning does. Most of what they absorb during the project sticks, because they’ve used it with a purpose instead of memorizing it for an exam. When they face that situation in real life, the language will be there.

Projects are designed around teenagers’ tastes and interests, not a syllabus. That’s why they find the course entertaining and stimulating, which at this age is half the battle.

FunTalk intensive English courses for teens

What is the summer intensive course for teens like?

It’s a course based on active English practice for teenagers. Every week we set situations from different areas of life in Barcelona and Catalonia today, which students have to analyze, solve or compare with what happens in other cities, regions or countries.

Since the projects are based on real situations, it’s easy for them to relate and get involved. And when they’re involved, the English comes naturally: both speaking and writing improve, because they need both to complete the project.

We work from A1 to C2, in groups of 4 to 9 people formed by real level. You can do one fortnight or the whole month.

What you ask us most.

What ages is the summer intensive course for?
Teens aged 12 to 17. Groups are formed by real English level as well as age, so nobody feels lost or bored.
What does working on projects mean?
Every week we set a real situation from Barcelona or Catalonia. Students research in English using videos and articles, the teacher guides them to useful sources, they organize their notes and on Thursday they present the result to their classmates with Prezi, photos or whatever visual tools they prefer.
How much does the intensive course for teens cost?
€199 for 2 weeks and €374 for 4 weeks. Registration is free.
When is it and what's the schedule?
In July, in two fortnights, Monday to Thursday from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. Exact dates are published a few months ahead: write to us and we'll let you know as soon as they're confirmed.
How many hours is it in total?
10 hours a week. That's 20 hours for one fortnight and 40 hours for the whole month.
Can they do just two weeks?
Yes. In one fortnight they complete one project from start to finish. Over four weeks they do four different projects, one per week.
What level can they sign up from?
From A1 to C2. We do a level test beforehand to place them in the right group.
How many students are in each group?
Between 4 and 8. With groups this small, everyone takes part in the project and everyone presents, which is exactly the opposite of what happens in a school classroom.
Is there a registration fee or a book?
Registration is free and the course doesn't use a book: students create the materials themselves during the project.
My child is shy and terrified of public speaking. Will this work for them?
The presentation is in front of their own group, 4 to 9 people they've spent the whole week working with. It's not an auditorium. The format is designed precisely so that speaking in front of others stops being a problem, in an environment where nobody will judge them.
Is it useful for preparing a Cambridge exam?
That's not its goal. The intensive course works on communication and real use of the language. If you're looking for official exam preparation, we have Teen Talkers Exam Prep during the school year and the exam preparation intensive course from B1 level.
Can they continue in September?
Yes. Many students continue in September with the secondary English course, general or Cambridge preparation. We'll recommend a group based on the level they reach by the end of July.
