Learn Spanish in Madrid

Linguaschools Madrid

Linguaschools Madrid is part of the Linguaschools Spanish language school network and offers Spanish courses in the centre of Madrid for adults and young adults from around the world. The school combines intensive Spanish courses, long-term study options, evening courses, university pathway programs, accommodation and cultural activities with the personal atmosphere of a small boutique-style school.

MADRID

Madrid is Spain’s capital, but it often feels more local and lived-in than many visitors expect. It is a city of neighbourhoods, plazas, parks, museums, tapas bars and everyday Spanish life, making it a strong destination for students who want to practise Spanish outside the classroom.

Unlike cities where the visitor experience is concentrated around a few famous sights, Madrid rewards time. Stay for a week and you can visit the Prado, Retiro Park, the Royal Palace and the old streets around La Latina. Stay for several months and you will start to find your own cafés, markets, routes, classmates and favourite corners of the city.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid is the world’s most glamorous football team. Just take a glance in the trophy room and you’ll understand how successful they have been. Tour the stadium and you’ll appreciate how many superstars have played here. And if you’re lucky, attend a game to experience the white-hot atmosphere.

Royal Palace

The world’s largest palace stands elegantly in central Madrid. Walking past its baroque facade is one of the main city highlights. Head inside and you’ll find hundreds of elegant rooms and many old stories.

Museum Triangle

Madrid’s trilogy of art museums is world famous. Explore a millennia of Spanish and Flemish art in the Prado. Admire a diverse and once private collection at Thyssen-Bornemisza. Then see contemporary greats like Picasso at the Reina Sofia.

Retiro Park

Walking through Retiro Park is like walking through royal palace gardens. It’s a stunning green space, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with friends, ideal when you need a quiet space to go over your notes and practice your Spanish reading skills.

La Latina district

The oldest part of Madrid is where you will spend many evenings. Get lost on the cobbled streets, hop between tapas bars and small boutiques, and admire an assortment of Spanish architecture that’s had a facelift during the last few years.

Spanish courses in Madrid

Linguaschools Madrid offers Spanish courses for different levels, goals and time commitments, from short intensive courses to longer study programs. The courses are designed mainly for adult learners, including international students, young professionals, Erasmus students, expats, digital nomads and long-term students who want a structured but personal Spanish learning experience in Madrid.

Students can choose group courses with 20 or 30 lessons per week, semi-intensive courses, private lessons and university pathway programs.

Classes are taught by qualified native Spanish-speaking teachers and follow a communicative, teacher-led immersion approach. Teachers adapt the pace and focus of the class to the level, rhythm and learning needs of the group, while keeping students actively using Spanish from the beginning.

Evening Spanish courses are also available for expats, Erasmus students, digital nomads and international residents who live, work or study in Madrid and want to improve their Spanish outside regular daytime course hours.

For students planning to stay in Spain for several months, Linguaschools Madrid also offers long-term Spanish course options that may be suitable for student visa purposes. Students booking a visa-eligible course can receive personalised guidance on course documentation, timing and the practical steps involved in preparing their Spanish student visa application.

(Translated by Google) Linguaschools is very centrally located and only a few minutes from public transport. After class, there is plenty of time to explore the area and Madrid. (Original) Linguaschools ist sehr zentral gelegen und nur wenige Minuten von den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar. Nach dem Unterricht hat man genügend Zeit die Gegend und Madrid auszukundschaften.

I took a 1 week Intensive 20 + 5 course. Both group and individual classes were very good. The teachers were very friendly and supportive. During my individual classes, I could have practiced the parts of a grammar where I was lacking. The teachers were very flexible and explained me whatever I asked them. I feel that with this course I boosted my spanish skills. I can fully recommend!

Cultural activities in Madrid

Learning Spanish in Madrid is not only about the classroom. Linguaschools Madrid organises cultural activities throughout the year, helping students practise Spanish, meet other international students and experience the city beyond the usual tourist routes.

Activities can include tapas nights, museum visits, neighbourhood walks, language exchanges, flamenco or dance activities, food and market experiences, and weekend excursions to places near Madrid. The program is organised locally, so students can discover Madrid in a more personal way while using Spanish in real situations outside class.

Madrid is especially good for this kind of cultural immersion. The city has a lively local rhythm, with plazas, cafés, museums, parks and neighbourhoods where students can keep practising Spanish long after class has finished.
