Spanish Courses in Madrid - Babylon

Language School Babylon

Voted Best Spanish language school by readers of Language Travel Magazine in 2008 and 2011 (as well as being  nominated in 2007, 2009 and 2010) Bablyon uses teaching methodologies that focus on conversation so that you learn in a natural, practical and fast way.

All of Madrid's central attractions such as the Puerta del Sol and the Prado Museum are within easy walking distance from the school. As Madrid lies on the central plateau of Spain, at a height of approximately 650m, so you get warm summers and fresh winters, a perfect year round destination.

“ I have just spent 10 weeks studying with Babylon in Madrid and have nothing but praise for the school. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming which in itself helps to build your confidence to speak Spanish. In addition the lessons themselves have been fun and I've been able to meet people from many different countries, cultures and backgrounds. I would recommend Babylon to anyone wanting to improve their Spanish. ”

Afternoon & EveningEvery day a culture class is prepared. The teachers prepare a different presentation on subjects such as architecture, Spanish movies, Spanish literature or Spanish history. The culture classes are held every day from 13:10-14:00 and are available to all students with the exception of those who have booked the Intensive 20 program.

Happy Miércoles - Every Wednesday evening there is a social activity where all the students participate. Some examples of activities organised are: beach party, salsa lesson, cava & tapas, paella night, “degustación internacional”, wine tasting. This is a great way to meet the other students and make new friends.

Cine Hispano - Every Thursday evening sit back and enjoy one of the many excellent movies that the Hispanic film world has to offer [with Spanish subtitles to make it just a little bit easier to follow]. A great way to improve your Spanish listening skills and enjoy a good movie at the same time.
