If you're building a life in Barcelona, two things make everything easier: meeting people and getting more comfortable with the language.
That is why we are happy to share a new partnership between Barcelona International Social and BCNLIP, a language school in Barcelona with an Instituto Cervantes-certified centre in the Gothic Quarter, at Carrer d’Avinyó 50.
We're finalising the details of an exclusive offer for BIS members. Stay tuned!
Why this partnership makes sense
Many people in the BIS community arrive in Barcelona with the same goal: settle in faster, make friends, and feel more confident in everyday life.
That is exactly where this collaboration fits.
BIS helps people connect through weekly events, language exchanges, dinners, parties, and day plans across Barcelona. BCNLIP helps people build language confidence through structured classes and immersion-based learning in the city.
It is a practical combination:
- meet people through BIS
- practice more in real life
- build confidence through a school partner based in Barcelona
What BCNLIP offers
According to public information on BCNLIP's website, the school has an Instituto Cervantes-certified centre at Carrer d’Avinyó 50, plus classroom annexes at Carrer de la Comtessa de Sobradiel 4 and Plaça del Duc de Medinaceli 6.
It also says its methodology follows the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the Instituto Cervantes Curriculum Plan, and that students can study in in-person, online, or hybrid formats depending on the course.
On its public site, BCNLIP promotes:
- Spanish courses, including cultural immersion options
- English courses
- Catalan and Spanish courses for arraigo
- one-on-one classes
- official exam information for DELE, SIELE, and CCSE
If you are new in the city, this is the kind of partner that can help you feel more comfortable with Barcelona, both socially and day to day.
