What school directors said about Panama City

Few cities in Latin America can match the diversity of Panama City. The historic colonial architecture contrasts with many modern skyscrapers. With its unique position on world trade routes, this thriving commercial and business city attracts immigrants from all around the world, resulting in a multi-cultural melting pot. This cosmopolitan city has much to offer its visitors in terms of entertainment, both during the day and at night.

MihaiEPA! Español en Panamá

Super nice staff and very good teachers
In any case, ask again directly whether the booked course is also offered in this way. Unfortunately, I was packed into an already running class unit. The teachers were very eager to include me well and there were also targeted individual lessons, but nevertheless it was not the perfect condition to learn the language well according to the circumstances.

Interesting information about Panama City

Why Panama City? Panama is a fusion of history and modernity and is by far the most ...

cosmopolitan capital in Central America. It is both a vibrant metropolis and gateway to tropical escapes. Welcoming both east and west, Panama is a hub of trade and immigration. The resulting cultural cocktail mix leads to a refreshing 'anything goes' attitude, more dynamic and fluid than that of its Central and South American neighbours. Casco Viejo, its cobblestoned historic centre is famed for colonial-era landmarks like the neoclassical Palacio Presidencial and bougainvillea-filled plazas lined with cafes and bars.

Questions and answers about Panama City

I have been studying Spanish for approximately a year via a formal course, private tutor, and audio lessons. I would like to continue my studies in Panama, and I would be interested in regular lessons and conversation practice. However, I will be on vacation with my spouse and should not engage in daily lessons that will interfere with vacation opportunities. Can you offer some recommendations?
Considering that flexibility is important for you, I would suggest private lessons. You can book private lessons in the morning or in the evening, adapting the schedule to your availability. Because of the personal environment, the teacher can accurately monitor how well the student is mastering the lessons and can adapt the pace and targeting of skills accordingly.

“For the division into the language courses, the schools first ensure that the students are at the same level. You can find out what the nationality mix is usually on the school website. However, every student is welcome at the school and it cannot be guaranteed that you will only be in the class with other nationalities. Either way, the teachers will speak the language you want to learn so that you can quickly improve your language skills.”
