  • Thanks for the tips! Actually I chose to learn Spanish in Barcelona because I really wanted to live in a big city experiencing all the things that big cities have to offer, but I wanted it also to be near to the seaside, and because it’s full of funny things to do for a young person. Barcelona looked just perfect for this!

  • Thank you for this list. I lived in Barcelona for two months, and i took some classes of spanish. I advise you to take individual classes like i did, therefore i learnt a lot in few weeks because during the lessons i spoke a lot with my teacher, and to learn a new language you have to practise a lot. I leave you the link of the school if you are interested http://www.idiomas247.com/.
