- DELE Exam Preparation Course:
DELE is the official test of Spanish as a foreign language and stands for Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera, or "Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma". The DELE Spanish test is internationally recognised as the official Spanish language exam for none native Spanish language speakers (like the TOEFL test is for the English language). This diploma is of great international value for those who are going to study at a Spanish speaking University or who want to work in a Spanish speaking company. At our Spanish language school in Panama, this Spanish course is mainly offered through private lessons taking between 20 - 30 hours per week. The group option is available if you are coming with a group no larger than 4 students who wish to obtain the same DELE Diploma and currently have the same Spanish level. The advantage of preparing the DELE exam with us is that we have designed our Spanish levels, built our course syllabus and chosen our methodology taking into account the guidelines of the Common European Framework for Languages and thus our level system and course syllabus are built to match the DELE examination levels.

One on One Private Course:
Our one on one Private Spanish Courses in Panama consist of 2 - 6 hours of individual Spanish lessns per day. The contents, schedule and starting dates of these private Spanish lessons can be arranged to suit the student's individual needs. We offer private Spanish lessons for language students of beginner, intermediate and advanced Spanish levels.These private Spanish lessons are offered to students of all ages. Students seeking private Spanish lessons generally need to learn Spanish more rapidly due to their time constraints, require a teacher who can focus on their very specific needs or just cannot take part of our Spanish lessons in a group for some specific reason (significant age difference, very particular learning style, absence of a group for their level, etc.).

Part Time Crash Course for New Residents:
This Spanish course is perfect for those who have relocated or retired in Latin America or are planning in the near future to move to a Latin American country and want to be able to speak Spanish to have a higher quality of life. Students who sign up for this Spanish course normally do not have enough time to commit to an intensive Spanish course because of their personal circumstances. There are also students who also join this course because they simply perform a lot better when they have fewer hours of Spanish lessons each week.

Personalized Spanish Courses:
We always tailor our Spanish courses to our students individual needs to help them get the most out of their Spanish study time with us. But sometimes our Spanish students need something very special and want to focus on a topic of a very specific nature. Just make a request on a specific topic or need and we will prepare the Spanish Course that you are looking for. It could be a Medical Spanish Course, a Business Spanish Course, Spanish courses for children or young teenagers, Spanish for construction or legal issues, or vocabulary/skill related to a specific field, etc. Most times we already have had a Spanish student with a similar need as yours, and this means you will benefit from our experience.
