Immersion without leaving Barcelona

The intensive course is designed for people who want to immerse themselves in the language while avoiding the cost and hassle of going abroad. Four afternoons a week in an English-only environment go further than you’d think: 40 hours concentrated in one month achieve much more than the same hours spread over a year.

In summer we’re more relaxed and the days are longer, or at least that’s how it feels. It’s a time when people are more receptive, and you can tell in class. The course is aimed at people who can’t find the time to focus on English during the year and want something different from a conventional course.

We make the most of our facilities to include workshops in English, like cooking or technology, within the intensive course. And we set aside several sessions for public speaking: communicating confidently in front of others, and in another language, is a skill that helps far beyond English.

Intensive English Courses for Adults

What is the summer intensive course like?

It’s 10 hours a week of concentrated practice, Monday to Thursday from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. You can do one fortnight (20 hours) or the full month (40 hours). The course is built around communication: we create situations and settings based on real life so you use English naturally and in everyday ways, not like solving an exercise.

The stated goal is for English to stop being seen as a hurdle to pass an exam or get a job and become what it really is: a tool. FunTalk’s motto, learning through fun, isn’t just for kids: everyone retains vocabulary and expressions better in a relaxed atmosphere, and then actually uses them.

Groups have 4 to 9 people and are formed by real level. We work from A1 to C2 in the general intensive course, and from B1 to C1 in the official exam preparation track.

What you ask us most.

When are the summer intensive courses?
In July, in two fortnights. You can do just one fortnight or the whole month. Exact dates are published a few months ahead: write to us and we'll let you know as soon as they're confirmed.
How much does the intensive course cost?
€199 for 2 weeks and €374 for 4 weeks. Registration is free. You only pay for the book if the group uses one.
How many hours is it in total?
10 hours a week, Monday to Thursday from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. That's 20 hours if you do one fortnight and 40 hours if you do the whole month.
Can I do just two weeks?
Yes. You can sign up for one fortnight or both. If you're unsure, start with two weeks: if you feel comfortable, we can look at extending depending on the spots left.
What's the difference between the general intensive and the exam preparation one?
The general course focuses on gaining fluency and confidence in real situations and covers A1 to C2. The exam preparation course works on the official exam format and is aimed at B1, B2 and C1 levels. They cost the same and have the same schedule.
What level can I sign up from?
From A1. We do a level test beforehand to place you in the right group. The exam preparation track starts from B1.
How many students are in each group?
Between 4 and 8 people. If a group doesn't reach the minimum of 4, we shorten the class while keeping the same price so the course can go ahead.
Is there a registration fee?
No. For the summer intensive course, registration is free, unlike the annual courses.
What exactly do you do in class?
We work with real-life situations and make the most of our facilities to include workshops in English like cooking or technology. We also dedicate several sessions to public speaking, which is one of the hardest things and one people appreciate most afterward.
Is it useful if I just want to get by on a trip?
That's one of the most common profiles for the intensive course. Since we work on everyday situations with lots of speaking practice, it's exactly the kind of course you notice when you land in another country.
Can I continue in September with the annual course?
Yes. Many students use the intensive course as a starting point and continue in September with the general adult course or with conversation classes. We'll recommend a group based on the level you reach by the end of July.
How do I reserve a spot?
Write to us on WhatsApp, call us or use the form on this page. Groups are small and fill up fast in summer, so it's best not to leave it until the last minute.
