Boasting several <strong>major universities<\/strong> it has created a thriving student life of activity. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">It\u2019s student population is huge, with around 200,000 spread across its several universities.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">The <a title=\"Top Public Universities in Barcelona\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/public-universities-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\">universities<\/a>\u00a0have a myriad of different activities to help you explore, settle into new surroundings, or even take up a new hobby. Barcelona is an international city so it\u2019s simple to make friends from all over the globe. As well as choosing <strong>what to study in Barcelona<\/strong> and the appropriate program, coming to Barcelona is very much a <a title=\"Leisure and Culture: ShBarcelona Blog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/category\/leisure-and-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\">lifestyle choice<\/a>,\u00a0allowing you to bathe in it\u2019s culture, architecture and beaches in your downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_a_language\"><\/span>Learn a language<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a multitude of <strong>English speaking courses<\/strong> on offer although learning the language is highly recommended, whether it be your sole focus or in addition to your studies. The level in which you want to aim for is entirely down to personal preference. Generally, the best approach is to combine formal learning in a school setting with more casual, everyday interaction. Locals are always happy to hear a foreigner making an effort and it can give you a great sense of accomplishment, even if it\u2019s ordering a take-away coffee. If you&#8217;re pondering <strong>where to study Spanish in Barcelona<\/strong>, or Catalan.

Most foreigners, like myself, use different means of language acquisition on top of formal learning. For example, language exchanges, intercambios or intercanvis in Catalan, are very common whereby both parties have something to gain in a casual environment.
