If you're building a life in Barcelona, two things make everything easier: meeting people and getting more comfortable with the language around you.
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.
BCNLIP offers Spanish, Catalan, and English courses and is certified by Instituto Cervantes. For BIS members, they have shared a partner promotion:
Promo phrase: Language Exchange Promo
How to use: Contact BCNLIP through any of their channels and mention "Language Exchange Promo" to access the BIS member offer.
Why this partnership makes sense
Many people in the BIS community arrive in Barcelona with the same goal: settle in faster, make friends, and stop feeling like everything is happening around them in another language.
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 courses and classes in the city.
It is the kind of combination that makes Barcelona feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun.
It is a practical combination:
- meet people through BIS
- practice more in real life
- improve your language confidence with a school partner based in Barcelona
What BCNLIP offers
According to BCNLIP's public information, 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 promotes:
- Spanish courses
- Catalan courses
- English courses
- cultural immersion options
- arraigo-related Catalan and Spanish courses
- in-person, online, and hybrid formats depending on the course
- private 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 move from "just arrived" to actually feeling part of Barcelona, one class and one conversation at a time.
How to use the BIS promo
Contact BCNLIP through any of their channels (phone, email, or in person at Carrer d'Avinyó 50) and mention:
