It’s a commonly held believe that doing an
expensive Spanish course makes you learn the
language faster. But why would that be the
case?
Our Spanish teachers are highly
qualified and dedicated individuals who see
teaching Spanish as more than a job that
pays their rent. Teaching is their vocation.
Furthermore, with a maximum of eight people
per class our groups are much smaller than
in most other schools. And last but not
least, the manageable size of our Spanish
school enables us to be much more flexible
and to respond to the individual needs of
our students.
Facilities
- Air conditioning : The summers in Barcelona are hot.
Temperatures easily exceed 30 degrees. To keep cool whilst getting your head
around the Spanish language, all classrooms are equipped with
air-conditioning.
- Computers + Internet : Like in any big European
city, you will find Internet cafés or so called locutorios on every other
corner in Barcelona. But it is not only more practical to use the Internet
at the school, it is also for free. Olé is equipped with 20 computers that
you can use to check emails, to call your friends via Skype or to chat over
Messenger. - WiFi If you prefer to work on your own computer, you can use
the wireless network in the school to access the Internet for free any time
during the school’s opening hours from 9:00h in the morning to 21:00h in the
evening.
- Library :
There are many ways to speed up the
learning process. Reading Spanish
books and watching films is an easy
and entertaining way to improve your
vocabulary. Olé provides many DVDs
in Spanish as well as books for
different levels, from beginner to
advanced learners.
- Self-study Materials : Our teachers can always be
approached for more exercises or advice on how to speed up the learning
process. However, if you like to put in extra studying time Olé provides
self-study software that can be used on either the school’s or on your own
computer.
- Location : Olé is located in close proximity to the
centre of town. In just ten minutes by foot you reach Placa Catalunya. The
school itself is situated on Avenida Mistral, a charming, green, pedestrian
zone with many cafés, bars, and small shops.
Services
- Cultural Activities :
Learning Spanish means more than knowing the grammar and vocabulary. It
means to understand the people who live this culture and speak this language
on a daily basis. Furthermore, Barcelona is a stunning city with a thriving
art and music scene. Olé offers a range of cultural activities. Click here
for more information.
- Language Exchange : We believe that the best addition to
formal language lessons are language exchanges with local people. We
therefore offer you the possibility to arrange language exchanges through
our website. Click here to fill out the form.
- Certificates : At the end of the course every
student receives a certificate that verifies their Spanish level according
to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages short CEFR.
- Fax & Photo Copies : Against a small fee, students have the
possibility to send and receive faxes and to use the school’s photocopier.
- Money Reception: Withdrawing money from a
non-Spanish account can be quiet expensive in the long run. In case you stay
in Barcelona for a while but don’t want to open a bank account Olé gives you
the possibly to transfer money to the schools account and we hand you the
money in cash.
- Open 12 hrs a day : Even though Olé isn’t a large
school, our facilities are open 12 hours a day from 9am in the morning until
9pm in the evening. During this time you are welcome to use all our
facilities and we will help you with any concerns or questions you might
have.
