Great intro to learning Spanish

Casco Spanish School provided a unique opportunity for our middle schoolers to spend 7 weeks learning Spanish from a native speaker. The entire staff is friendly and encouraging - it was a wonderful intro to the Spanish language. The school worked with us to schedule lessons that fit our schedule. We also appreciated how helpful the school was in providing recommendations for places to see during our stay in Panamá. A special thanks to Carlos and Tricia for making this experience so memorable. Communication with Tricia was fast and easy, and she was very accommodating when we had schedule change requests.

Pros
  • Sunset bike tour with Kiki
  • Matching the right teacher with young students
  • Flexible scheduling with Tricia

Spanish Course

The course I took was super fun and exciting. It made appreciate the latin culture even more and the people in the school and hotel are incredible nice. The location is amazing. Between the jungle and only a five minute walk to the beach. It was exciting waking up everyday and knowing I could have classes, learn and then take a surf class to finish the evening. The accommodation was very comfortable and they even gave me a free upgrade in between the course. The course help me improve my relationship with people I met right there everyday and made it easier to speak to the people from the community.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
On my free day we went and did a bioluminiscense tour at night and it was breathtaking.
