EPA! ESPAÑOL EN PANAMA
Super Intensive Spanish Course
This course is aimed at students who want to take the most profit from their time studying the language combining 20 group lessons per week and 10 lessons full immersion per week.
For the Bildungsurlaub you will be doing 20 group lessons per week, 2 hours of specific group workshops (conversational group classes) per week, 3 hours of cultural immersion (cultural activities every Thursday), and 10 one-to-one lessons per week.
The Super- Intensive Spanish Course in Panama integrates the 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening with grammatical structures, vocabulary development, and very interesting aspects of Spanish culture and way of life.
Each day, the Spanish classes in Panama take you one step closer to achieving your goal: to communicate more effectively in Spanish. The ten additional one-on-one full immersion Spanish lessons each week enable the students to focus on specific needs and practice more what they studied in the group lessons.
Note: In the exceptional case that only 1 student is enrolled in a course of one level, the school reserves the right to convert the course into a Private program which will result in a reduction of 5 lessons per week.

I really liked the class with some exceptions:
1. Parking there is expensive. I live in Panama so the classes are not within walking distance from my home. At the end, I chose to ride Uber to class and ride the bus from class.
2. I didn't have a sense of what the class objective was when the class started. For example, by the end of the class, how could I have gauged whether I learned what I was supposed to? This was particularly important to me since my class was four days instead of the usual 5 days. It also made me question whether our teacher had enough time to help us reach the objective.
The course materials are professional and they allow me to continue my studies until the next class that I enroll in. Sandra is a great teacher and it was her who made the learning environment relaxed!
Please start the classes with an objective and let students know how you plan to cover a 1-week class in four days. Because this class was shortened, it's hard for me to recommend it to anyone else. It's not representative of the other classes.
Thank you.
The school was good. I really liked my teacher Carol. She was always well prepared and in a really good mood. Once a week you could do an activity with the school. That was nice. I would have liked to do more activities. But Lia was very helpful organizing trips and tours.
I liked my housing. I lived with a really nice couple.
So over all I really liked my two weeks in Panama City.
The school was good. The professors were focused on helping me achieve my goal. They were all very professional. The activities coordinated by the school were good/ interesting. My home stay experience was great- I recommend it to anyone attending a language school.
One improvement would be a requirement for a placement test before beginning classes.
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Spanish in Panama City. These homes are often between 3 - 10 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance.
