Interactive Spanish Course in Panama City's Old Quarter

Hola,
My wife and I just had a wonderful time at Casco Antiguo Spanish School. We spent a month and improved our Spanish. The lessons are well structured and interesting. There are also activities included wich are fun and give you the opportunity to meet others students and locals.
The school is located in Casco Antiguo where you can enjoy restaurants, bars, rooftops, shops, museums and walking along the shore. On the weekends, we rented a car to explore a little further.
A nice way to travel, meet locals, make new friends and no matter your age.

Had a wonderful week in Spanish immersion. Great teachers and staff and the location is awesome. Price was very reasonable. School was able to accommodate changes in skill level. I’m looking forward to returning and improving my skills! I recommend this whether you are just starting out in Spanish or are a more advanced student. I very much appreciated the additional activities and field trips. There are great restaurants, museums, and stores located nearby and you can easily walk to the ocean in a few minutes.

I was in Panama for a week and wanted to brush up on my Spanish. Lina was extremely helpful and made a point to cover my more problematic areas and get my speaking and listening practice in. One of the best parts is that it's not limited to a classroom experience, we went out and saw the city and were able to practice our Spanish in situations. The school is in a central location in Casco, so it's very convenient for you to explore the city before or after your classes. I'd recommend anyone visiting Casco Viejo to drop in for a few classes. It's well worth it and was a lovely experience!

I took a four week trip to Panama to attend this school and start learning Spanish, and after the end of this month I can not recommend this school enough for any potential Spanish students or travelers! In the four weeks I spent in Casco Antiguo, I was able to go from a complete beginner to having a solid basic basis in the language. After a month of study, I was able to confidently have basic conversations with Panamanians on the street, and felt I was able to express myself in (basic) Spanish thanks to what I learned at Casco Antiguo. The classes are immersion style, which really facilitates quick learning. The classes are a great mix of days that are more more grammar-heavy and structured, as well as days that are less structured and more free-flowing conversation-based. The teachers are excellent. They are understanding, and more than happy to (while sticking to Spanish) help and guide you in your conversation so that you are more able to confidently express yourself, without having to revert to English. The school has its own textbook/study resources (which are included in the price), which give you a great base in the basic Spanish. I signed up for group classes (20 hours a week), but if there are not enough students in your level for group classes, you are offered one on one classes for no additional charge! (Though you are understandably dropped down for 15 hours a week in this situation).

Additionally, you can’t beat the location. Casco Antiguo is really beautiful, with a great mix of colonial Spanish, art deco, and 19th century French architecture and a beautiful historic core of old churches and cathedrals. Great restaurants, and great views of the downtown and Amador causeway in the distance. The school offers activities throughout the week. I loved trying Salsa dancing my first week, as well as the bike tour. The weekly happy hour comes from a free drink ticket at a great nearby bar, where they host a language exchange - great place to practice your Spanish!

Anyone looking to travel for the purpose of learning Spanish, or to spend a week or two to brush up on your Spanish in the middle of your backpacking trip, I can’t recommend this school enough. The price can’t be beat for the quality of class on offer. Students are of all ages and backgrounds. ¡Gracias por todo!

The school is located in a historic part of Panama City. This increases the value of the school because it is easy to practice what you learned after class. The classes are small, at the most 4 students. This will allow for better interaction between a student and the teacher. The school sets up activies 4 days a week so students can practice Spanish outside of the classroom. Also the views of the skyline are great. I took two tours on the weekend and it did not take much time to get to either downtown or the canal.

My husband and I have been struggling to learn Spanish on and off for a year and a half. We looked for an immersion program and found Casco Antiguo Spanish School in Panama. We came for a week and learned so much! Lina is the best!! We could understand and speak Spanish much better after our time here. The enrichment activities were so fun! We loved the whole experience! The school helped us with our reservations for Hotel Central, and got us a nice discount. We hope to return next year and to bring other family members, too!

I went with 2 friends to Panama for a vacation of Spanish learning and adventure. School for a week and 2 weekends of travel to the mountains and beach. The experience was both enriching and fun. The staff helped us every step of the way in our trip planning and with recommendations and logistics while we were there. The school itself is bustling with activity and the environment warm and welcoming. The quality of teaching was excellent and our teacher customized the learning for our small group and made learning fun. The school enhanced the classroom time with an immersive trip to a museum and late afternoon activities (like salsa dancing and a sunset bike tour) so we could experience the culture and keep practicing our Spanish. These activities were truly a delight. The neighborhood is beautiful, walkable, felt safe and full of restaurants, bars and village squares where you could hear live music. If you are someone interested in improving your Spanish I would highly recommend this type of immersive vacation.

I attended Casco Antigua Spanish School for 3 weeks - both the one-on-one and small group intensive sessions combined with daily activities really helped my Spanish. The fun, welcoming and energetic staff and location in the historic old town complimented the experience. They have the perfect learning/ travel combination!

After 3 weeks I had a solid foundation in the language to build upon. And the daily optional after class activities ( bike ride your, volleyball, salsa lessons etc) allowed you to practice Spanish outside of class.
