– 3rd option: Intensive GROUP Spanish program OR Intensive private ONE-ON-ONE Spanish program
This option includes any one of the above 2 options. But a few of our most ambitious students want to learn Spanish as fast as possible. So they combine one of the above 2 options with extra “1 to 1” classes so that they also receive 2 or more hours in the afternoons and even on Fridays or Saturday mornings. You have to be well-focused for this plan! So if you choose either one of the Intensive courses at Spanish Panama (be it the Group Spanish program or the Private one-on-one Spanish program) we will charge you just $220.00 for each extra set of 10 hours of 1-1 classes. So you can add that to the price and pick your own class times for these extra hours.
This 3rd option* is the total immersion Spanish Panama Language School option. Most students doing this program like to choose the group intensive Spanish program from Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 12:30pm, in order to get the most from the small group experience of 2, 3, or 4 persons in the class. Then they take a lunch break at one of our neighborhood’s 40 restaurants and cafes or just eat lunch in our social balcony terrace.
They return in the afternoons from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, or 3:30pm to 5:30pm (Monday to Friday) for more private, personalized Spanish instruction. On Fridays the classes are pure Spanish conversation classes and may include and getting to know students from other classes. Most of these students learn to understand and speak Spanish quite well in 3 months.
*If you want this 3rd option just pick option 1 or 2 in the enrollment form and make the special request.
* Panama City tours and excursions do not include entrance fees such as the entrance to the Panama Canal, which is now $15 for tourists.
