Things to do in Panama City, Panama Province: The Best Lessons & Workshops
A diverse multicultural city of almost 1.3 million, Panama City offers a lot more than an up-close view of the Canal. Shantytowns slink up alongside shiny high-rise condos. The Old City is an atmospheric labyrinth of churches, plazas and palaces. Fifteen miles from downtown Panama City, Soberania National Park is an excellent destination for hiking and birding. For a fascinating look at the canal, take a taxi or local bus to Miraflores Locks Visitor Center and look down on the traffic below.

I had a great experience at Spanish Panama. During the sign-up and scheduling process, they were always very clear and responsive, and it was easy to get things organized. I had a special request on how to schedule the 1:1 sessions, and they were very helpful in enabling that. The payment process was also clear and straightforward. Once there, I found the staff to be very welcoming. I was in a small group in the mornings that was either 4 or 5 people. The professors were outstanding - experienced and able to teach well in a group composed of people with different native languages. The tone of the small groups was very focused and serious but with time for fun and to build camaraderie. I found the sessions went by very quickly, as I and the other students were so engaged. The focus was primarily on conversation, but the professors worked in grammar lessons in a very natural way. My 1:1 sessions in the afternoon were also very rewarding. My professor for those did not speak English, which really made me work harder (a positive) to communicate only in Spanish. The two of us worked out a program on the first day that was half grammar topics and half literature (reading classic Spanish short stories and discussing them during the class). I really enjoyed the afternoon sessions and it was a great complement to the small group in the morning. There were opportunities to arrange special trips with the driver the school works with, and several students I spoke with had very good experiences with those. The students seemed to be very serious and committed, but they were a very friendly and warm group. I would happily return to Spanish Panama.

4 weeks at this language immersion program in Panama City was just not enough! You will be able to meet students from all over the world. The staff is incredible! Everyone is so welcoming and patient. They genuinely want to get to know you and see you improve. Whether its a movie night, salsa class, or dinner there are always activities to practice spanish, form relationships with the staff and fellow students, and fully immerse yourself in the Panamanian culture. I loved my group lessons with Stephany. She is such a helpful, fun, and informative teacher! We are still in contact and she continues to help me improve. I also enjoyed my private lessons with Gabriel. They were both so encouraging and willing to help me grow even outside of the classroom. You won't regret your time at Habla Ya!
