It's a beautiful and very cultural Spansih city, probably even more famous than Spain's capital Madrid, but it can be a little tricky to learn Spanish in Barcelona.

This is because Barcelona, although in Spain, is the capital of Catalonia - a region of Spain. And the official language of Barcelona is Catalan, a language in some ways similar but in other ways completely different to Spanish.

Many foreigneres have travelled to Barcelona expecting to put their Spanish to the test, but have been surprised to have half the inhabitants speaking another language.

People more commonly speak Spanish in Barcelona than Catalan, but courses at universities are taught in Catalan, and many locals will try not to communicate with you in Spanish as a matter of pride (even if they can speak Spansih perfectly well).

But do not let this put you off going to learn Spanish in Barcelona! It is still a beautiful city where you will be able to have plenty of good Spansih conversation with the friendly inhabitants. You should just be aware of this complication so it doesn't take you by surprise.

Rich in Many Ways

Barcelona is a city rich in art and culture. The famous artist Gaudi dominates the architecture even long after his death - his most famous work the cathedral La Sagrada Familia is still under construction.
