Learn Panamanian Spanish in Panama City

Panamanian Spanish is quick and relaxed and drops the s at the end of syllables. Friends greet you with ¿qué xopá? (qué pasó, backwards), and almost anything can be a vaina.

In Solvelingua you move to Panama City (Ciudad de Panamá), find a home in Casco Antiguo, and learn Panamanian Spanish the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
