Speakeasy BCN

One of Barcelona's most reputable language schools, Speakeasy has built its success on a number of key principles. For example: at Speakeasy you'll only find qualified native-speaking Spanish teachers, groups lessons are kept to a maximum of ten students, and in class you'll practice the effective immersion approach (not as scary as it sounds!). Whether you're a visitor in search of an extensive curriculum, or you're living in Barcelona and need evening classes Speakeasy have a course suitable for you - from levels beginner to advanced. Best of all the school is committed to offering the best prices in Barcelona, so as your Spanish improves you'll still be left with plenty of euros for sampling the city's legendary nightlife (if you are so inclined!). The school is located right in the centre of the city at Placa Universitat. Check out their website for more info and prices.

I've been taking the intensive classes for 3 weeks now and my overall impression have been quite positive.
The school is located 5 minutes from Placa Catalonia. The staff is friendly and helpful (for example, I started from the middle of the beginner's level and and thus half of the material from the textbook had been already covered; instead of making me pay 30 euros for the book they rented it to me for free).
The teaching method is the old [study the grammar]-->[do the exercises from the textbook], plus they hand in additional materials, but in general - nothing unique there.
The teachers, I think, are the best part. I had to change my group after the second week there, so I have observations for 4 different teachers in class. They're all young, energetic and look enthusiastic about what they're doing.

Took several courses here and thought all the teachers were excellent. Especially Paco, but all were friendly and made you feel comfortable speaking Spanish. Fellow students were also a lot of fun to hang out with eating tapas and drinking cervezas after classes
