In a privileged location on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both size and population. Barcelona is unequivocally a Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location, but also and above all because of its history, traditions, and cultural influences. Barcelona has also long inspired artists and architects, including Gaudi, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro, whose works and influence can be felt and viewed in the city´s many museums and buildings. The deep blue Mediterranean background invites for a jog, bike ride or a long, leisurely stroll along the sun-drenched beaches.

Our Intensive 20 Spanish program consists of 20 weekly classes and is perfect for students who are eager to learn Spanish in a short period of time without sacrificing the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the local culture. Our experienced teachers focus on student participation and interaction by using real-life situations and topics to increase students’ ability to develop authentic language skills that are useful in the real world.

Students who pursue the Intensive 20 Spanish Program are looking for a flexible program that allows them to experience a full linguistic immersion by giving them extra time to explore the city and culture.

Some students also like the added flexibility the reduced class hours give them because they can mold the program to their own needs by adding private classes or an internship program. Students particularly value having time to experience the culture and language both in and out of the classroom.

The students who prefer the Intensive 20 course are looking for a dynamic and interactive Spanish course with flexibility. There are 20 classes a week with a lot of free time for those who want to visit the city and discover new places.

This program includes 20 weekly group classes which generally take place in the morning in small group classes with a maximum of 10 students and an average of 6 students. The classes are focused on oral expression and comprehension, as well as written communication and interaction, all of which are essential in learning a new language.

You will be placed in your correct Spanish level following an oral and written placement test that you will take the first day you arrive at the school. We start every level every Monday. At the end of the program you will be handed a certificate documenting your progress, hours completed, and level of proficiency achieved.

This program is offered in all locations in all don Quijote schools in Spain and most of our destinations in Latin America.
