Babylon Idiomas

Winner of Best Spanish School in 2008 as voted for by Language Travel Magazine, Babylon Idiomas was established in Spain in 2002 and - building on their success - now operate schools in Argentina and Costa Rica too. Their Barcelona language school comes complete with top-notch facilities (air-conditioning, ergonomic chairs, social room, outdoor terrace etc), and is centrally-located in the Eixample zone - in fact the edifice is a beautiful example of Modernista architecture. Here you can choose between intensive courses (20hrs a week), super-intensive / immersion (30hrs a week), whilst individual lessons, evening classes and homestays mean there's a programme perfect for everyone. Babylon's highly-qualified, native-speaking staff teach using award-winning methods that have been accredited by the Spanish Cervantes Institute, so if you want to start speaking Spanish fast then best check out their website for more info and prices.

I stayed for 2 weeks at Babylon in Barcelona to study Spanish and I had a great time!! The teachers are really motivating and I feel that I learned a lot in this short time. The organised activities with the other students made me feel very comfortable from my first day on and we spent a great time inside and outside of the classroom!

I booked for 8 weeks and it was absolutely worth it! I learned a lot during my time there. The teachers are great and I found a lot of new friends! Highly recommend it!

My experience at Babylon was amazing. What I appreciated the most were my teachers (each group has two teachers, one for each block of classes), they were competent and fun at the same time, great at giving explanations and also offering help even when the classes were over. I could always count on them. The classes were interesting, I didn't get bored even once. The reception desk works smoothly and is willing to help you with any problems/questions you have.

The location is superb, in the city centre, so you can walk everywhere you want.

The only thing that need some work are the classrooms themselves, some refreshing and painting, but the school is so good that you don't even mind it.

I've studied at Babylon for 4 weeks (intensive course, advanced level).

It's the school! Great teachers, lots of fun during class and really cool students from around the world, all eager for spanish, both language and culture. A summer I'll never forget. All the best to Babylon.

Is a nice place to be. Near to the city center, funky teachers, spanish spoken environment. Teachers are very open to all their students, students are open to meet new people around the world to study spainish. Its one of the five star schools in BCN!!

I enjoyed my stay in Barcelona tremendously. My classes in Baybylon Idiomas were in the evening and there was always a group of people that would have lunch after class and explore the city. It is very natural to learn spanish this way.

As far as classes are concerned, Babylon is as good as it gets: small groups, great teachers and excellent general conditions.

I can truly recommend it!

Great program with excellent teachers and staff. Knowledgeable and helpful customer service with the patience to answer any kinds of questions to ensure that you have all of the information you need. There are plenty of opportunities to bond with students and professors outside of classes with various organized activities. I really enjoyed my time there and would recommend no other school than Babylon.

Great school great teachers great students - great times!
