Dynamics of Spanish classes
Small study groups are decisive when learning a language. This is why the number of students per class at Olé is limited to nine and the average class size ranges between 5 and 6 students. The idea is that teachers can answer questions individually and each student can practice more the vocabulary and knowledge acquired. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming so you can feel comfortable practicing Spanish.

Spanish Course Study Plan
Based on a communicative and immersion approach, students learn Spanish in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) which includes writing, listening comprehension, vocabulary and conversation practice. From the beginning to the end of each lesson, the only language spoken in classes is Spanish, so students quickly learn to communicate effectively in everyday, real-life situations. Our classrooms are lively and interactive spaces that provide all the ideal elements so you can quickly achieve your Spanish learning goals through a variety of tasks and activities. This comprehensive approach will help you develop the four key language skills: speaking, writing, reading and listening. Olé Languages is accredited by the Cervantes Institute.

I took a one-year intensive course of Spanish at Ole Languages. It has been one of the most positive and interesting learning experiences in my life so far. All the teachers are super professional and friendly. I was fully immersed in the Spanish speaking and cultural environment. Every day I discovered new peculiarities of the language, enjoyed sapid conversations and funny activities and mastered grammar. And now the Spanish door of the world is open for me. ¡Gracias Ole!

My teacher is excellent and I look forward to my classes each week. The classes seem to fly by as I am being taught in an enjoyable and relaxed way. There is a great atmosphere about the school that I have not come across in any of the other bigger schools I went to visit. I particularly enjoy the evening, cultural activities that are provided as an added extra, they are great fun.

Ricominciare a studiare dopo una certa età potrebbe sembrare un’impresa ma…non se stai pensando di apprendere lo spagnolo in Olè Lenguages! Qui ho seguito un corso semi intensivo raggiungendo il livello B2 grazie ad un metodo chiaro e comprensibile ma allo stesso tempo divertente! Situata nel quartiere , a mio parere, più esclusivo di Barcellona i questa scuola ho conosciuto gente proveniente da tutto il mondo, con motivazioni diverse e di tutte le età! Ho cambiato diversi professori ma tutti mi sono rimasti nel cuore come del resto tutto lo staff. La loro cordialità e professionalità, le attività extra scolastiche, unite ad i loro meravigliosi sorrisi mi hanno fatta sentire a casa facendomi innamorare letteralmente di questa lingua! Lo spagnolo a Barcellona? SOLO PRESSO OLE!!!
