Spanish Language Schools in Panama City

[ARMAND BRODEUR]

There are a number of Spanish Language Schools in Panama, Panama. Which one is the best for relative novices? The 4 hr./ day classes for a week or two seem a doable option. We will be spending a few weeks in the City before moving to the interior and would like basic common courtesy/restaurant/travel/shopping/ etc. abilities.

Dear Armand,

To get more out of your stay while you’re in Panama, it’s definitely an advantage to know some basic Spanish. The best way to learn a language is to come to the country and register for a few local classes. Panama offers many Spanish learning opportunities, from one-on-one tutoring to homestays and full immersion. Here’s a list of a few of the more popular options:

• Habla Ya Panama; tel. +507 720-1294; email: info@hablayapanama.com; website: http://www.hablayapanama.com. Spanish programs and volunteer programs in Boquete and throughout the country.

• The ILERI Institute (Language & International Relations Institute), P.O. Box
0819-11527, Panama City; tel. +507 392-4086; cell +507 6615-2772; email: info@ileripanama.com; website: http://www.ileripanama.com.

• Language and International Relations Institute, Camino de las Amistad; tel. +507 260-4424; website: http://www.isls.com/panama. (Panama City, Boquete, and Bocas del Toro).

• Spanish by the Sea, Calle 4ta, Bocas del Toro and Palmira, Entrega General, Boquete; tel. +507 757-9518; website: http://www.spanishbythesea.com.

• Spanish Panama School, Av. 2a B Norte near Via Argentina (in El Cangrejo), Panama City; tel. +507 213-3121; email: info@spanishpanama.com; website: http://www.spanishpanama.com. The Spanish Panama School steers away from traditional disciplinarian formats to offer a more informal creative learning environment, based on the individual learning preferences of the student.

Also:

• AmeriSpan; email: info@amerispan.com: website: http://www.amerispan.com. On its website, AmeriSpan offers a list of language schools it has determined are “the best”.

All Spanish schools in Panama offer courses for beginners. I am not sure what you mean by common courtesy but you can contact the schools directly and/or visit their websites to ask/read about the towns/neighborhoods in Panama featured (some schools may have multiple options). You can also ask them about restaurants, shopping and more (their websites often contain this info)…and you can of course ask us–or read any text we have on this website–about the towns or neighborhoods you are considering.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Jessica
