Part Time Spanish Course for Expat Residents in Panama

If you're planning to relocate or retire in Latin America: learn Spanish! It is a must in order to get the most out of your relocation experience and the key to having a more fulfilling new life. The real world is right outside your door and by speaking even a little bit of Spanish you'll be able to embrace your new life completely.

English will allow you to survive but you'll get so much more if you can converse in Spanish with the local people. It's not true either that everyone speaks English in Panama. In fact being able to learn a second language is mostly reserved to those privileged who can afford a private education. How are you going to make your new home a better place if you cannot speak Spanish?

There is an increasingly English-speaking expat community in Panama but you get so much more out of life in a new country if you can converse with the local people.

If you're moving to a new home, speaking Spanish to local trades people, builders, utility companies, or when setting up a business, means you'll get superior, faster service and you'll be in a better position to negotiate if things go wrong. Knowing the language also opens up endless new friendships, and a deeper understanding of the Latin American culture.

The Spanish classes in this Part Time Spanish Course focus on practical everyday communicative situations rather than on grammar analysis and writing. Special emphasis is placed on listening and speaking. Importance is also given to the cultural and social aspects of the Latin American community.

Students normally have between 6 and 10 hours of Spanish lessons per week. Some students have 6 hours of group or mini group lessons only. Other students add 4 hours of private lessons and yet others decide to only have private Spanish lessons normally because they prefer to start their course immediately instead of waiting for a group of their same level to start. Spanish lessons are held either in the mornings or afternoons. The class schedule is set taking into account student's preference and teacher's availability.

As this course is designed for new local residents in Panama, we can start a new group at any time. Only two students of the same level are needed to start a group. We continually start Beginner Crash Course Groups almost every other month and we always have groups of other levels starting and going on during every month.

Please pay us a visit so that we can know your exact Spanish level, complete our online Placement Test or Contact Us and let us know if you do not know any Spanish and we will get back to you as soon as we have a group available for you.

Each of our 3 first levels can be completed in a 60 hour (10 week) course. This is why students sign up for 2.5 months (60 hours of group lessons). When you sign up for a Part Time Spanish Crash Course for New Residents in Latin America we ask you to commit to finish at least one of our levels. This is why most students purchase 60 hours of group lessons throughout 10 weeks, making only 1 payment.

If you find it more convenient you can also decide to make 3 payments for 20 hours each, 2 payments for 30 hours each or even make 1 payment to purchase 120 hours and complete two of our levels paying the best rate per hour for Spanish lessons.
