Thread: Spanish Language Classes at the University of Panama

By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - More feedback and information regarding Spanish language classes available for foreigners at the University of Panama. This, from Nancy Armock who is started classes last night: "Don, Just a little feedback on one of the Spanish classes at U of P. The class schedule hasn't changed, the professor seems to be very good, a text book is being used and no single nationality dominates the attendees. In fact, my class is very international with Austrian, Yugoslavian, Russian, French, American and Canadian nationals attending. As an added plus it turns out that I know a few people in the class. Seems to be a normal University class and first class was very productive. Nancy" Also Irina, who runs the Panama Social Calender website, wrote the following: "As some of you already know, the University of Panama Spanish classes have started this week. I've posted the schedule here. Just a note: This is the schedule that I got from the administration of the Language Center. It's very possible that the professors' schedule could differ from that of the Language Center :-) Don't ask why... it's Panama :-) Irina" The University of Panama Spanish class option seems like it works well for many, and it might be an interesting option for you. Now I wonder how much of the institutional culture will rub off on these two ladies. Do you think we will see them out there blocking streets and trading rocks for tear gas with the cops during the next demonstrations? Well, they will probably cover up their faces - it's hard to tell who's who.

It's good to know that Panama is becoming diverse, as it shows from the amount and type of students in that class trying to learn Spanish.

Since I know Spanish fairly well I don't think I'll be attending those classes, but I'll keep the info in mind for any friends of mine who might make their way over there and are in need of some good classes.

I think Irina is trying to say, 'don't be surprised if the prof doesn't show up for class.'
Nothing new there !

Do you know the cost of the class?
