Learning English without pen and paper

Our facilities in central Barcelona are set up to break away from the traditional language class format. Here the focus is communication in all its forms. We use books and paper when needed, but technology is present in every session and much of the work involves speaking, discussing and doing.

Classes can be complemented with hands-on workshops using art and craft materials. And we have our own kitchen, so if the group feels like it, a session can turn into a practical class at the stove. It’s the same method we use with kids, adapted for adults who already know what they want.
We bring together people with a similar level so classes and activities interest the whole group. Whether your goal is work, travel or a personal challenge, the idea is for the language to grow through use, not by piling up theory.

What are the English courses for adults like?

They’re small groups of people with a common goal: improving the English they already have. We work on fluency, ease, grammar and vocabulary, focusing above all on what each group needs most, at its own pace.

Groups are formed by real level, from A1 to C1, and never exceed 9 people. That size is what lets everyone speak in every session and lets the teacher really correct, instead of handing out speaking turns among twenty people.

The course is complemented with activities: workshops, projects and presentations. They’re not a decorative extra; they’re the excuse to use the language in real contexts, which is where what you learn really sticks.

What you ask us most.

How many people are in each group?

Minimum 4 and maximum 9 people. That's the size that allows truly personalized learning and lets everyone speak in every class. If a group doesn't reach the minimum of 4, we shorten the session while keeping the same price.

How much does the English course for adults cost?

One 1.5-hour class a week costs €225 per term or €650 for the full school year. Prices are the same for the general course and for conversation classes. On top of that: a €40 registration fee for new students only and €15/year for books and materials.

What's the difference between the general course and conversation classes?

The general course builds your level in a structured way: grammar, vocabulary and all four skills. Conversation classes are designed for people who already have a base and need to gain confidence, so the focus is all on speaking. They cost the same, so the choice depends only on your goal.

What schedules do you have?

Monday to Friday, in slots from 10:00 to 11:30 am, 2:30 to 4:00 pm, 7:30 to 9:00 pm and 8:00 to 9:30 pm. Conversation classes also have a 12:00 to 1:30 pm slot.

What level can I start from?

From zero. We cover A1 to C1 and do a level test before assigning your group, so you're with people who go at your pace. Being in the wrong group is the number one reason people end up giving up on English.

Are the teachers native speakers?

Yes. All our teachers are native speakers or have a native level, are qualified and have teaching experience.

What workshops are held during the course?

Mindfulness, cooking, painting, wine tasting, public speaking and all kinds of workshops. They're held from time to time and materials are paid on the day of the workshop.

Is it true about the wine in conversation classes?

Yes. Evening conversation sessions include a glass of wine and morning ones a cup of tea or coffee. It's not just a gimmick: people speak much better when they're relaxed and don't feel like they're taking an exam.

Can I form my own group with friends?

Yes. If you have a similar level, you can sign up together and set up a private group with your own schedule. It's a popular option among groups of friends and work teams.

Do you prepare students for official Cambridge and TOEFL exams?

Yes, with specific official exam preparation courses for Cambridge and TOEFL, from A1 to C2.

How do I reserve a spot, and are there discounts?

You reserve a spot with a €100 deposit toward the course, and the rest is paid before it starts. We offer a 5% discount for single-parent and large families, and another 5% for a second family member who enrolls.

When does the course start?

The 2026/2027 school year runs from October 5 to June 18. If you join later, write to us: we'll check whether there's a group at your level with open spots.
