Testimonials

Being a language teacher myself I can bet that there is no chance to find a better school for studying Spanish than FreeDa. It’s not about learning grammar rules, reading texts or struggling to get through the audio records. FreeDa team assures that you start speaking Spanish and thinking in Spanish from the moment you enter the class. Brillant professors, incredibly successful methodology, great environment, super supportive and responsive management team. It is the best experience which you would want to repeat over and over! Thank you, guys!!!

I am writing this review after finishing my second week of classes at Freeda. I have signed up for 3 weeks of intensive A1 Spanish.

I will start by saying our class has not had a normal schedule, our intended instructor has been sick the entire time, so for the first 2 weeks we have had 4 or 5 different instructors. I will say they have all been great and passionate about teaching Spanish but this has not allowed for a linear learning process, as each instructor has a bit different teaching style and has taught us a varied agenda of subjects. I’m saying this as a note that Freeda does not seem to have a plan in place for prolonged instructor absence.

Additionally, the school is in the El Born neighborhood, so it is very small and loud inside, making the learning experience somewhat difficult. I’m sure this is a characteristic of most schools in this area.

While Freeda acknowledges that my experience has not been typical, when asked about the ability to refund any unattended classes (as I don’t feel I’m learning at the rate 20hrs a week should allow) I was reminded that I signed a contract that states refunds are not a possibility. So I will finish the remainder of my classes and update my review if my opinions change. At this point I don’t even want to finish the classes but I don’t want to waste the money I spent.

TLDR: The people are nice, but if you don’t have a great experience there isn’t much they can do for you

I had a great experience learning Spanish A1 and A2 with Txell and Ricardo. The classes are small and interactive, and Freeda has flexible options for number of hours per day. Instructors were always very prepared and engaged throughout the lessons. I appreciate my time here very much!

I’ve been attending Freeda since March, and in just a few short months, I’ve already completed my A1 level in Spanish and am now working toward A2. The progress I’ve made is thanks to the incredible environment and truly amazing teachers here. The classes are engaging, well-structured, and supportive, whether you’re starting from scratch or building on what you already know. As someone new to the city, it also turned out to be the perfect place to meet new people and make friends. Can’t recommend it enough!

I had an interesting week at Freeda Gràcia studying Spanish. There are many positive things to say about the school that have been detailed in others’ comments. Although I liked my teacher and she was a good instructor, there were several negatives for me. The first is that the acoustics in the classroom are very poor which makes it difficult for anyone with even a mild hearing loss to be able to hear clearly. Acoustic sound-absorbing panels would help. The second is cultural. Evidently it is ok in Spain to belittle a student in front of the entire classroom. This happened on a daily basis with one student singled out. In America, a teacher who did this would be put on notice immediately. When discussing the matter with another student I was told it was customary, and a different teacher had asked him if he was “learning disabled.” Finally, they do not do oral placement interviews with students before assigning a classroom. Placement solely on a short written test does not always reflect overall language skills. There are a lot of language schools in Barcelona and although I do not rule it out completely, I would think twice before going back to Freeda.

Freeda Language School gave me the opportunity to become a better version of myself.

It has a great ambience, a modern and intelligent director, and a wonderful team.

Thank you, Freeda!

One of my favorite places in Barcelona! The school gives you an incredible sense of community and belonging. The teachers and all of the staff is amazing. Couldn’t be happier with my choice of the school. Highly recommend!

I have been learning Spanish with Lara during 1 month and I already feel a great improvement in my Spanish.

Lara’s energy and enthusiasm makes my learning experience really enjoyable.

The classes are well thought out with a good balance of grammar and conversation.

Thank you Freeda / Lara
