Frustrating isn't it? You arrive in a city and want to be able to order a local dish, use the metro or ask for directions, but a fear of mispronouncing your 1970s phrase book means you often end up resorting to the tried and tested pointing routine. Knowing how to greet a shop assistant or order a menu del dia in Spanish can mean not having to make a bee-line for the safety of shops and restaurants proudly boasting 'English spoken here', (ie. 'you'll pay above the odds').

Locals are extremely receptive to any efforts made to speak Spanish - a simple 'Hola' or 'Gracias' can make a world of difference. You might even like to try some basic Catalan, which is spoken alongside Castillian Spanish and more widely used by the younger generation.

intoBarcelona.com's unique, conversational Spanish classes are a far cry from conventional language learning.  Dispensing with classrooms and text books, we offer a fun, informative and interactive way of getting to grips with the world's second most spoken language. To get to grips with the lingo and your way around, it's a great way to start your stay .

Our language tours are two, three or four hours long and are tailored to your wishes. If your passion is food and wine, classes can be held in cafés or tapas bars. If you want to learn how to get around the city and see some sights, then you could take classes whilst learning how to use the bus or metro.
