English for Teens in Barcelona

Make English stop being just a school subject

FunTalk’s secondary English courses are the after-school support for students aged 11 to 18 who want to raise their grades and, above all, gain confidence speaking. Small groups, native teachers and classes that combine the secondary and Bachillerato syllabus with cooking workshops, public speaking and activities they genuinely enjoy. Every year our groups fill up earlier.

We pay close attention to how each student feels while learning English

Hear from our families.

The age to get them hooked

Secondary school is a tricky stage for English. Students have years of the subject behind them, many have lost motivation and quite a few have a higher level than they dare to show. The block is almost never about knowledge: it’s about confidence.
That’s why we choose materials, activities and workshops based on where each group needs help. We combine support for the secondary and Bachillerato syllabus with cooking workshops in English, public speaking exercises and topics they genuinely care about, with technology present throughout the course.

We create a comfortable, relaxed environment where they can communicate without pressure or fear of making mistakes. When that happens, they start expressing their opinions naturally and fluently, but in English. That’s when grades go up, not the other way around.

What are the secondary English courses like?

They’re small-group after-school courses for students aged 11 to 18, designed as specific support for the secondary and Bachillerato English curriculum. We work on grammar, vocabulary and comprehension, always with the goal of them actually using the language, not just studying it.

There are two tracks. The general course focuses on improving level and grades. The Exam Prep track specifically prepares for the Cambridge First and Advanced exams, for students who want to finish secondary school with an official certificate.

In both cases, theory classes are complemented by workshops in English and activities adapted to the group’s level and needs. Students tell us classes are really enjoyable and that they notice their progress when they communicate.

What you ask us most.

September is paid separately for students with classes that month. The amounts by option and day are in the September table in the FAQ.

What ages is the secondary English course for?
From ages 11 to 18, that is, from the first year of secondary school (ESO) to the second year of Bachillerato. We group students by their real English level, not just their school year: we do a free level test before assigning a group so nobody feels lost or bored.
How much does it cost exactly?
Teens, 2 hours a week: €275/term or €849 annual fee, plus €85/year for books and materials. FunTalk FCE Prep, 3 hours a week: €345/term or €1,065 annual fee, plus €55/year for books and materials. Registration for new students: €40. For students with classes in September, that month is paid separately from the term and annual fees, depending on the option and class day.
What's the difference between Teen Talkers General and Exam Prep?
The general course focuses on improving level, gaining fluency and supporting the school syllabus. The Exam Prep course specifically prepares for Cambridge First (FCE) and Advanced (CAE), working on the exam format within the course itself. Teens is 2 hours a week (€275/term or €849/year) and FunTalk FCE Prep is 3 hours a week (€345/term or €1,065/year). The choice depends on whether your child wants an official certificate or not.
How many hours a week does my child need?
It depends on the starting point and the goal. 2 hours a week is enough to maintain their level and reinforce schoolwork. If they're struggling, want to speed up or are preparing for a Cambridge exam on a set date, the 3 hours option gives real room to progress. In the initial meeting we'll tell you which makes sense for your child.
What schedules do you have?
The 2 hours option runs Monday to Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, one day a week. The 3 hours option is split over two days: Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, from 3:20 to 4:50 pm or from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. You can also concentrate it all in a single 3-hour class on Fridays, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.
How many students are in each group?
Minimum 4 and maximum 9. With teenagers, group size is everything: in classes of 25, shy students don't say a word all year. If a group doesn't reach the minimum of 4 students, we shorten the class while keeping the same price so it can go ahead.
What do you do in class besides the syllabus?
We combine classes with cooking workshops in English, public speaking exercises and general-interest activities chosen for each group, with technology present throughout the course. The idea is for them to use the language in real situations, not just in textbook exercises.
Will it help raise their school grades?
The course is designed as specific support for the secondary and Bachillerato curriculum, so yes, we work on what they're being asked in class. That said, our focus is on helping them lose their fear of speaking and gain confidence: when that happens, the grades usually follow. Not the other way around.
How do I know my child is making progress?
You'll receive a written report on their progress and behavior at the end of the first and third terms. Plus, during the second term you get an individual meeting with their teacher, in person or online, to talk about their specific case.
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 sibling who enrolls. Groups fill up fast, so it's best not to leave it until September.
The group format doesn't work for my child. What alternatives do you have?
Not every teenager does well in a group. For those cases we have private classes in person, at home or online, project-based courses and summer intensives. All options come from the same team of native teachers and a program tailored to the student.
Are September classes paid separately?

For students with classes in September, September 2026 is paid separately from the term and annual fees. The amount depends on the option and the class day, as shown in this table.
