    About Blau Language Academy

    You will master Spanish and Catalan through immersive street-level practice in Barcelona. Blau Language Academy connects you directly with local Mediterranean culture through small, conversation-focused classes. This school specializes in intensive linguistic preparation for international students aiming to enter Spanish universities.

    If you want to study Spanish in Spain without having to sort out a separate flat search, Blau Language Academy solves that problem directly. The school uses an integrated model where your language courses and private accommodation share one physical address. Your classrooms are downstairs on level -1, while your studio is upstairs in the same building. Because of this setup, you cannot book tuition on its own as an individual student; every booking includes on-site housing.

    Courses start every Monday of the year, and you can stay anywhere from one week to several months. Before you arrive, you take an online placement test so the academic team places you in a class that matches your current level, from complete beginner (A0) to intermediate (B1). Class sizes have a strict maximum of 12 students to make sure you get speaking time. Depending on how many hours you want, you can choose from four course paces: Casual 5 (5 hours a week), Basic 15 (15 hours a week), Standard 20 (20 hours a week), or Intensive 25 (25 hours a week). On top of that, Blau is a member school in Catalonia (GEIC centre no. 1200) and holds official recognition in Germany for Bildungsurlaub study leave.

    Campus

    Blau Language Academy operates from a single campus in Barcelona, located at Carrer del Perú 110, 08018 Barcelona, Spain. The building is in Poblenou, an urban district that forms part of Barcelona's 22@ technology district.

    • On-site dining: You can visit the on-site Sea You canteen, which offers an optional daily breakfast buffet for €16.50 per day as well as lunch options.

    • Neighbourhood and transport: Public transit links sit close to the building, while the Westfield Glòries shopping centre is a 5-minute walk away. Plus, Mar Bella beach is a 25-minute walk from campus.
