Have a great summer!

3 Easy Ways to Practise Your English in Barcelona

Summer is finally here! While it is time to relax, it is also the easiest season to lose your English fluency if you stop practising. Don’t let your hard work fade away. You can easily keep your language skills sharp while enjoying the sunshine right here in Barcelona.

Here are three simple ways to keep learning this summer:

• Switch Your Summer Entertainment: Swap Spanish or Catalan subtitles for English while watching your favourite Netflix series. Alternatively, download an English audiobook or podcast for your beach days at Barceloneta or your train rides to Sitges.

• Join Local Language Exchanges: Take advantage of Barcelona's international community. Attend a weekly intercambio event at a local expat pub or join a meetup group. It is a fantastic, stress-free environment to practise speaking over a cold drink and make international friends.

• Think and Describe in English: Turn your daily routine into a game. Describe your surroundings in English while walking down Passeig de Gràcia, or try translating your tapas order in your head.

  
  

Consistency is key! Just 15 minutes of daily practice will make a massive difference. Have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you back in the classroom this September!
