FAQ about EPA! Español en Panamá, Panama City
I'm a European student, coming to Panama for 2 weeks, and I would like to significantly improve my Spanish within those two weeks. I'm looking at the General Course with 6 lessons per week. Do you recommend me that course?
Normally, travelling students opt for more lessons per week so that they can really make some headway with their Spanish. 20 lessons per week is the most common choice. There is also an option with 15 group lessons per week.
If you really want to go for 6 lessons a week, the school can see if they can make this happen, but they really recommend opting for a (semi-)intensive course (classes 9:00-13:00 Mon-Fri) if you want to have a good sense of progress in 2 weeks.
By the way, you can also choose to do 6 private lessons a week, then you will also feel the progress well.
Very happy to hear from you what you would like to do. ”
I'm finally going to pay the balance for the school by bank transfer. Should I ask my bank to do this in dollars or is it possible to do it in euros?
If you give the school's bank details to your bank, they will convert the amount at the current rate and give you more information about the equivalent amount in euros. ”
Can I take a 2-week class only with a homestay or a shared apartment?
