Questions

Online Spanish Classes, Answered

Can I take Spanish classes online from anywhere in Panama?

Yes. Lessons are live, one-on-one video calls, so you can join from Panama City, David, Boquete, Coronado, Santa Catalina, Pedasí, Bocas del Toro or anywhere else with a stable internet connection. You can also join from abroad.

How much do online Spanish classes cost?

Online lessons use the same packages as in-person classes: $125 for the 1-week crash course (5 hours), $150 for the 3-week Island Flow Plan (6 hours), $180 for the monthly Steady Surf Plan (8 hours) and $320 per month for two people (Buddy Boost).

Is it Panamanian Spanish or textbook Spanish?

Both. You get solid grammar foundations, but lessons center on how Spanish is actually spoken in Panama, including the expressions and vocabulary you will hear every day.

What do I need to take a class online?

A computer, tablet or phone with a camera and a stable internet connection. Headphones help. We agree on the video platform that works best for you.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Every program is personalized to your level and goals, from your first words to advanced conversation.

Can I schedule lessons around my work?

Yes. Lesson times are flexible and arranged with you during class hours, Monday to Saturday. Panama is on a single time zone (UTC−5) all year, with no daylight saving changes.
