Not to mention the white sand beaches lining the Caribbean Sea as well as the sprawling beaches on the Pacific Ocean coast to match, and don’t forget the majestic mountains in between.

A Guide to Language Study Abroad in Panama

Locations

Getting to Panama is quite simple with almost 100 direct flights from cities around the world, and once you arrive, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that navigation around the country is safe and reliable. Diversity is one of Panama's greatest strengths; when it comes to language programs in Panama, there are three very distinct locations that host the largest number of opportunities:

Panama City. The nation’s capital city is a cultural melting pot of cultures and people. Panama City offers a diverse array of entertainment, adventure, and cultural experiences. With a population of less than a million people, Panama City is just the right size, which means language students will likely never feel completely overwhelmed nor entirely bored during their studies. Located on the bay of the Pacific Ocean, a nice ocean view will always be just a few blocks away and The Panama Canal runs right through the city.

Bocas del Toro. A gem amongst Caribbean Sea beach towns, Bocas del Toro stands out for its funky vibe, harmonious mix of cultures and races, and extraordinarily beautiful natural beaches. Well known as a popular tourist destination, there are plenty of adventures to be had, exploration opportunities, restaurants, luxurious hotels, and interesting parties hosted in Boca del Toro. Whether you are looking to hide away in a tropical paradise or meet travelers from around the globe, Bocas del Toro will never disappoint.

Boquete. A picturesque town in the cool mountains of the Cordillera on the western end of the country (near Costa Rica), Boquete is a haven for those who love to relax and enjoy nature. On the skirts of the Volcan Baru National Park and Friendship International Park (Parque Internacional La Amistad), you’ll never be far from a winding trail through ancient forests and natural habitats of hundreds of species of birds and exotic plants.

Learning Spanish, getting to know Panama, and making friends!!

August 02, 2018by: Risa Motohashi - JapanProgram: Spanish Language Program: One to One (Private Classes)

I took group lessons everyday for 3 months, and it was such a fun and fulfilling experience!! All the teachers and staff members of the school were very kind and supportive, and they would always be sure that the students completely understood everything. The group I was in was 3 to 4 people, and it was just the right number of people to have a good and active conversation, and also get to know each other. The lessons were based on a textbook to study grammar and vocabulary, and there was also a lot of time for conversation, and I felt that way of studying made my Spanish improve faster. There was also a get-together time once in a while at the cafeteria just outside the school so that we would also get to know other students and other teachers. The school has students from all over the world, and it's very exciting to speak with all the other students and know their different cultures. Other than that, there was also an activity day once a week, and the staff would take you to cultural or natural places of Panama. For example, I got to go to the Gamboa Rainforest, Parque Metropolitano, Taboga Island, San Blas Island, Panama Viejo, Parque Municipal Summit, and many more fun places! They were also good opportunities for me to practice my Spanish outside of the classroom. Thanks to EPA!, I am now able to use Spanish on a daily conversation level, and more importantly, I made a lot of friends who are from different places of the world who have become my very close friends which I meet often even now.
