Dime Spanish School

I did two months of intensive online Spanish course with Jordi and Melani (two hours every day Monday-Friday). I was surprised how quickly we were able to move up levels with them as our teachers, we did A2 to B1 in one month. The atmosphere was great, and we had a very good relationship with the teachers. Jordi and Melani delivered the online lessons very well, using Google Slides, youtube videos, and the course book on the screen. I could tell they had prepared the classes well and it seemed that they had been teaching online for a long time. I am an English teacher myself, and I have now started using some of the methods they used for these classes in my own teaching. I looked forward to doing the class every day and I was sad that I had to leave due to work. Dime is awesome and very good value for money!

When our family came to Barcelona from the United States for a six-month sabbatical, one of our goals was to learn Spanish. We took our time to find a school that taught both adults and children. We considered a few places, but as soon as we visited Dime and talked with their helpful and friendly staff we knew we had found the right place. Our boys (ages 11 and 13) have been taking a kids' class for two months now. Their teacher, Marta, is excellent. She has the magic touch--she makes every class both fun and educational. They learn a lot and finish each class with a smile. My husband and I are having a similar experience in our adult class taught by Jordi. After four weeks, our classes were forced to go online because of the coronavirus pandemic. I was nervous about online classes, but these teachers are so professional that the transition was seamless. Jordi challenges each student while also supporting his or her learning, and he makes us laugh along the way. It's been great getting to know him and the other students, who come from all over the world. Enrolling at Dime is the best thing we've done in Barcelona. I am much more confident now in my language skills after only 8 weeks of extensive classes (twice per week). I started from zero comprehension and I can now watch TV shows in Spanish and understand enough to enjoy it. I highly recommend Dime!

Dime is the only place I have learnt any Spanish. I now have friends with whom I only speak in Spanish with, confidently and fast enough to maintain a decent conversation - so I guess they did a good job! (though of course there is always room for improvement :p). The school itself is lovely, it is small and the staff are friendly which makes for a learning environment in which you feel at ease (important in what is quite a naturally vulnerable situation). The teaching standard is high and professional whilst there is a personality that makes you feel at home rather than part of a transaction or service. The perfect combination!

After moving to Barcelona, I studied at Dime for 6 months to learn Spanish progressing from absolute beginner to B1 level. All of the staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel immediately welcome. There are various activities for the students which are fun and interactive, and it's a great way to meet other people. I'm truly grateful for my time at Dime and I would recommend anyone looking for a Spanish school in Barcelona to study here.

There are not that many great schools in Barcelona for learning Catalan as a foreign language so I was really lucky to find Dime. I had 8 private lessons in total and my Catalan improved enormously. Both the teacher and my host family were fantastic. I would definitely recommend coming here to learn either Spanish or Catalan and I can't wait to come back to Barcelona and continue learning in the future!

Lovely school with very friendly owners and fab teachers. You are made to feel important and cared for the moment you arrive. My teacher (Maria) was so sweet and friendly, she really made you feel comfortable and was very encouraging. Prices extremely reasonable and small classes which is great for pushing yourself to talk and practise. I learnt so much in a very short time. The free extra classes are really interesting and you get to meet some lovely people from all over the world. All in all an excellent experience and well recommended. Thank you Dime! I'll see you again soon!

Dime is a small but very nice school in Gracia, one of the most beautiful neighbourhood in Barcelona. Usually the classes are taught in groups of 2-8 people, what makes it very interactive. The teachers are very friendly and the school also offers excursions to nice places in Barcelona. If you want to learn spanish in a friendly environment I definitely recommend Dime to you!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Dime. Cristina was warm and inviting, making the registration process quick and easy. Our instruction, Maria, was delightful! We were only in Barcelona for about 7 weeks so opted to take beginner classes 2x's/week for 4 weeks. If we were going to be staying longer, I would definitely do the immersion, everyday. After our 4 weeks, we really feel like we are able to understand the language in a more efficient way. Class sizes are small and instruction is lovely. We were never stresses or made to feel silly. It was an awesome experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dime to anyone staying in Barcelona!

First I chose this school because it was super cheap compared to other schools and I was quite afraid what's going to wait for me there. But in the first class I understood that was the best choice ever! Teacher was really cool, fun, professional and made the lesson amazing! So after studying more than two months I can understand and speak spanish, because the way of teaching was really interesting. All the staff of Dime are super cool! All the time with a smile, even you coming grumpy in the morning, they making you laugh :D Also they organizing activities, extra cultural classes for free, excursions, where you can meet new people and have a great time speaking in spanish. So I highly recommend everyone this school! And BIG thank you to Dime!

Dime Spanish School, was the best experience I had while living in Barcelona. Over a period of months, I had learned to write in spanish and eventually got the nerve speak up! Dime's staff goes beyond out their way to dip you into the culture and at the same time we had fun. Placing us in everyday situations and preparing us for all kinds of adventure that I had no idea even existed! It is the perfect school to go to whether you are in the city for business or study purposes and even if it is just a quick course. What made it perfect was I felt very welcomed and I could take the time I needed to understand. With Lessons and little essays to write for practice and different course levels, I was able to learn starting from whatever level I may have been at. From the start all the way to finish line... I highly recommend this School and I pray it continues to grow strong throughout the years! I have used it so much since then and never would have met all the great friends I have to this day if it wasn't for them. I owe all my thanks to Dime for introducing such a wonderful language. Thank you Dime!

I had to learn Spanish for a job in Barcelona and to be honest I was demotivated by all the tenses and grammar. But the personal, encouraging and "there is not just one book" classes really motivated me. I have done an intensive course until I reached the B2 level in a really friendly atmosphere with every day energetic and motivated teachers. If you are looking for a Spanish course with personal attention and encouring classes I would really recommend Dime.

I spent a week at Dimi in January and enjoyed every moment of it. I opted for two hours a day in group classes which were great fun and helped me enormously better understand Spanish grammar while also improving my vocabulary. I also had two hours a day of individual classes with Jorge who was a mine of information about the Spanish language and comparative linguistics, a pet subject of mine and I learned an enormous amount. The staff at Dimi are all adaptable, kind and above all enthusiastic and made my week there an unforgettable one. I've been to several schools in Spain now and have enjoyed them all and for me Dimi stands out as being of a very high standard and yet relaxed too.

Learning in a language school is one thing. Having a completely fun and out of the cliche experience is another, and that's what Dime is actually offering: its professors, who never forgot how it's like to be fun and at the same time precise in their methods, its way of teaching with grammar examples that sticks to you no matter what and its rare quality to draw people from very different cultures and somehow turn them into good friends. Thanks a lot, guys, I've felt at home from the very beginning! ;)

I inscribe one year ago and I did the intense course, every day for two hours for 3 month and I'm really satisfied of the classes. My spanish has really improved a lot. the classe are small and the professors can focus more on individual problems. Also they organize very interesting outdoor classes and activities. Beside the language the most important thing is that I found a lot of friends and I'm still in contact with a lot of them.

I have been attending Spanish courses at Dime for about a year now and would highly recommend it. I have had the opportunity to learn from most of the teachers working at Dime. I have found them all highly qualified teachers who transmit their knowledge of the Spanish language in a clear and varied way. Last but not the least, they all seem to have a degree in friendliness as well. This combination makes you enjoy every class. I think I have never not been in the mood for showing up! The pupils of Dime are also a great variety of people, of all ages from all over the world. I have met many wonderful people there. The cultural events Dime organizes regularly are also a great opportunity to learn about Spanish culture and customs, while practicing your Spanish skills out of the class room.

Dime is a great school, I've been going for more than 6 months now and have made a huge improvement in my Spanish, met some fantastic people and had lots of fun at the same time. The teachers are friendly and relaxed, but also very professional and tailor classes carefully to fit the students' needs. I always look forward to my classes at Dime and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in learning Spanish.

DIME is a great school with the greatest teachers I've ever met! Everybody is really professional, fun, caring and easy-going. Studying there was a wonderful experience for me, my level got much higher after only 2 weeks there. What more can I say?.. I definitely recommend!

I recommend DIME to anyone who wants to learn Spanish seriously. I have been to several language schools in different cities but the quality of teaching in DIME is exceptional. The school has very kind and professional staff and teachers, resulting in a very positive atmosphere. I went to an intensive course and it was well organized, with a perfect balance of grammatical and practical (conversation, reading and listening) lessons. Classes are small (8 students max) so teachers can correct your pronunciation/mistakes really well. Students are from all over the world and I met very interesting and sweet people. You won't regret choosing DIME.

If you are new in Barcelona, without friends and you do not speak Spanish at all, the best way how to start your life here is visiting DIME. Honestly, thanks them (teachers + pupils) I did not feel alone and lost in this big city. They gave me the feeling to be a part of a family bringing us to the parques, cines, parties, "street language" classes and many many other activities:) Thanks them I met a lot of perfect people which some of them are now my really good friends. I appreciate that the teachers at DIME take care of their pupils, they really want them to speak well spanish and what is the best thing the classes are never boring because the teachers always find a funny way how to learn new grammar:) This way I want to say BIG thank you to all teachers at DIME, my life here would not be so great without knowing all of you!!!

Dime and it's people is seriously one of the best things I have gotten to know in Barcelona. My decision to take classes there changed my entire stay there! It is alway great fun to go to school while still learning a lot. All of them go out of their way to help the students to get the most out of their time in the city. Also, they are just really fun and amazing people and I'm so glad I got to know them!

Dime School.. a sign of complete satisfaction.. i am so honored to be a part of dime school. the good thing about dime school its their teaching faculty where you have different professors teaching u in different ways and styles, which is always good when you are learning a new language, and in addition dime school takes to different tours in barcelona, so there is always a direct communication with your professors, a best place where you can learn spanish, and the dime school is pretty time flexible which in other lannguage school its hard to find. Dime a good place for learining and an effective learning center

Teachers are qualified, experienced and friendly, and with them you are guaranteed to learn in a positive and motivating environment: you will never get bored! Dime's staff is very helpful and willing to answer all your questions, to understand your needs and help you achieve your learning goals. Another plus is that Dime often organises Barcelona tours that make you discover the city's best kept secrets and give you a real insight of the Catalan and Spanish way of life. I strongly recommend you to choose Dime as you Spanish School in Barcelona!

Taking Spanish lessons at Dime was the single best thing we did during our month in Barcelona. We found this awesome spanish school by pure accident, and from the moment we walked in the door to enquire, we knew it was where we wanted to study :) The staff are uber-cool and super-friendly, and organise weekly social & cultural excursions for all the students - making it far more than just a spanish school... it was a genuine cultural emersion. Don't take chances with other spanish schools... go see the Ace team at Dime!

Dime was practically the first place i went in Spain. I didn´t know anything about Spain or Spanish language but they accepted me like a family member and patiently taught me about both. Classes are very intimate and personal and the teaching method is more practical and theorical. It is the best place to learn Spanish and make new friends!
