Our methodology at BCNLIP
We don’t just teach a language, we invite you to live it. Our unique methodology is based on total immersion, allowing learning to happen both inside and outside the classroom. We offer a variety of activities designed to integrate the language into your daily life, creating meaningful and memorable experiences.
Every Friday, our workshops and immersion classes are divided into four levels:
Basic - Live
Geared towards beginners, this cycle helps you take your first steps in Spanish, combining spelling, phonetics, and listening comprehension workshops with practical activities to navigate everyday situations.
Elementary - Express yourself
Here, we connect the language with movement through body expression, in addition to phonetics and spelling workshops, allowing for a more dynamic learning experience that immerses you in both the culture and the language.
Intermediate - Join the Community
This level takes you out of the classroom to explore Barcelona from within, immersing you in its history, art, gastronomy, and traditions, facilitating your integration into the local culture.
Advanced - Discover
Dive further into the language and culture of Barcelona through immersive routes and art history workshops for advanced level students.
The immersive cycles are integral to the curriculum of our long-term, intensive courses and are not available as standalone options. Their cost is included in the fees for our long-term, 20-hour-per-week programs.
