Course: Intensive - 5 weeks

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.

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.
