Barcelona, on the Mediterranean, is one of Europe's most popular cities, with Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Park Güell, the Gothic Quarter and its beaches. The capital of Catalonia, it combines Spanish study with the sea, art and a lively social life.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Barcelona:
Programs at international schools in Barcelona are also among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to 6 months. Schools usually follow the Common European Framework levels from A1 to C1.
Language school fees in Barcelona depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation, which is used for visa and residence procedures on long programs.
For short courses, booking 3-4 weeks ahead is enough. Schengen visa appointments can take longer in busy periods, so students applying from Turkey should plan at least 2 months ahead. There are no lessons on public holidays.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for language courses of up to 90 days. The application requires the school's enrolment letter, proof of payment, proof of accommodation, travel health insurance and proof of funds.
We recommend that language students plan their budget without relying on income from work. If you plan language study as the first step towards a Spanish degree or master's, part-time work may become possible during that period.
