WHAT WE TEACH
Spanish. Catalan. Both.
Whether you’re arriving for a week or staying for good, we have a programme that fits your pace, your schedule and your goals. Every course is taught by qualified native teachers in groups of no more than 15 students.
Cultural immersion
Barcelona as the classroom. Real tasks, real conversations, real city. A 10-week programme with BCN LIP's own materials.
Short stays
From one week, in four intensities. Combine classes, city life and continuity. Stay in Barcelona or continue online.
Summer program
15 Jun – 15 Sep. Full cultural immersion, 4 to 8 weeks. The most intensive way to spend a summer.
DELE preparation
Integrated or standalone. BCN LIP is an official Cervantes exam centre — we prepare you and register you for A2 and B2.
Catalan
The language of Barcelona's daily life. One of the few schools in the city offering proper Catalan courses for foreigners.
CATALAN
Yes, we also teach Catalan.
Catalan is the language of the market, the neighbours, the office. Learning it isn’t just practical — it’s the fastest way to feel you actually belong here.
The language of Barcelona
Spoken in shops, offices and institutions across Catalonia. More useful than people expect.
Designed for foreigners
Our Catalan courses are built specifically for non-native speakers: clear, communicative, practical.
Combine with Spanish
Many students take Spanish and Catalan in parallel. We'll help you find the right combination.
Gothic Quarter
Right in the heart of the city. You'll practise the language the moment you step outside.
