You have to ask specifically for them (as they also offer paid-for-classes), but they are usually quite happy to give them to you. The classes are free because they form a part of the training for new Spanish teachers, who need human guinea pigs to hone their classroom skills on. In theory this means the quality of the teaching should be lower but we've never noticed, and we're both now able to communicate reasonably fluently in Spanish having not spoken much at all when we moved here in January. Also, if you are looking for a way to make new friends (and get a free holiday) we'd recommend doing a www.puebloingles.com week - we're off to spend the weekend in Valencia with some friends we met there. It's great fun and for native English speakers it's entirely free. hasta luego Hola!

I am American with an Irish Passport. I spent 3 mos in Barcelona in 2005 learning Spanish and I loved it. I'm gay and live in Miami My BF used to be a Gynecologist in Cuba and he is a nurse here.. Long story but he is looking into being a DR in Spain. We are going through the steps for the paperwork Spain accepts cuban DRs it's not so hard. - I do fear he'd miss his family here and the American life he has come to love but on the other hand I think he would be able to Identify with Spain since it's part of his heritage. He could work as a DR which he loves. Any idea what a Gynecologist might make in Spain? I'd like to work in Insurance in Spain - I do speak Spanish quite well but not perfect(living there would really help). OH and what about Catalan for a DR? you think it's required? What about for me?
