Who we are
¡Venga, va!
Have you ever heard of this expression? ¡Venga, va! means a lot for spaniards. These two words can be used in several situations. We use it when we want to encourage someone to do something, when we want to conclude a conversation or a meeting to move on, when we need someone to hurry up or when we want them not to give up. This fantastic expression is full of energy, good vibes and love. And this is exactly what Marta and Beatriz, the Spanish teachers that once decided to found this school, convey in their class.
Venga, va, meet our teachers. You will love them!
Marta
Teacher & Co-founder
Hello, little human who wants to learn Spanish! I’m Marta, a Spanish teacher and co-founder of ¡Venga, va! Spanish School. I graduated in Hispanic Philology and I have a Master’s Degree in Teaching Spanish and Catalan as Second Languages. I am half Catalan, from Barcelona and half Andalusian, from Granada. I have been teaching Spanish for more than six years and I love that my students come to class with a big smile and eager to learn. My classes are very fun, I like to generate an environment of motivation and freedom so that we all feel that we are learning while we laugh.

My favorite corner of Barcelona: The Cactus garden (jardines de Mossèn Costa y Llobera) I like to go there to disconnect.

Hi there! I’m Beatriz, Spanish teacher and co-founder of ¡Venga, va! Spanish School. I am an eager and curious person; in addition to specializing in teaching Spanish, I have studied Communication and Tourism, and I speak six languages. I have always loved learning and it is a great satisfaction for me to help other people do it with joy. My classes are full of laughter and stories that have the power to connect people. I am passionate about backpacking, hiking, playing padel and, yes!, eating too. I also enjoy camping and playing board games. So, get ready to have fun while you learn!
A restaurant in Barcelona: El Xampanyet, perfect for some good tapas.
My favorite corner of Barcelona: For me one of the viewpoints on the Rabassada road because there is calm and views of the city and it brings back good memories.

Something that bothers me is… the lack of civility
"I took face-to-face courses in Barcelona from Bea for a month, and even I was surprised at how much my Spanish was improved at the end of the month. Now I'm taking online classes with Marta, and I can say that they both have an amazing energy! You won't be disappointed!"
