Learn Spanish In 5 Minutes A Day
Do I have to learn Spanish before emigrating to Panama?
This is the most asked question from people when they consider Panama as a possible destination. Do they understand English. I am not good with languages. These are all issues that are raised when considering Panama.
You will be amazed how many Spanish words you already know. Even with a very small vocabulary you will thrilled how many sentences you can string together. Once you can make peace with the idea that you don't need to be speaking Spanish perfectly to interact with the local, you will be surprised how accommodating and appreciative the locals will be. It is in this gap of imperfection where you will realize and experience a new exciting adventure. An accommodating space where various cultures can meet, learn, teach, and experience the adventure of discovery. This is a space to learn, grow and achieve things that you never thought possible.

Importance Of The Spanish Social Protocol
One of the most important things to understand is the importance of the Spanish social protocol or “Cortesia”. They are unfailingly polite and courteous, and it pays to be able to question and respond in kind. Courtesy, indicates good-breading and is very important in the Hispanic culture.
Be brave and be the first to give the cheerful greeting Hola or Buenos and make eye contact. You will immediately get a warm reception and it breaks down all cultural barriers. Starting any conversation in the native language often helps establish a level of respect. Imagine the surprised and appreciative looks you will receive in local restaurants when I wish people Buen Provecho (“I hope you get the most from your meal.”) as I pass their tables. Con Permiso, Por Favor (“With your permission, please.”), always elicits a smile and a parting of people as you pass through a group on the sidewalk, in the grocery store, or at the bus stop.
Before leaving a party, it is common practice here to go around and say goodbye to everyone. Practice this custom, known as the despedida, every time you leave a gathering and you will be surely met with appreciative responses.
Basically, by learning how to conjugate a handful of verbs, such as “I need” (necesito), “I can” (puedo), “to buy” (comprar) and “to have” (tener), you can add the infinitive of other verbs and create nearly endless sentence constructions. It’s a great hack and can prove useful right away.
Even if you say “Lo siento, no entiendo” (I’m sorry, I don’t understand) “Mas despacio por favor” (more slowly please) a lot, you may find they often speak enough English to help you out, if you have tried to speak Spanish first.
Importance To Speak Spanish In Spanish-Speaking Countries
Beyond being able to order another “cerveza” (beer) and ask where the bathrooms are (and those are important, of course) you might want to be able to talk to the locals…to ask for directions and get to the places you want to visit, to go about your daily errands and generally make yourself understood.
Why should you learn Spanish? Because you never know where it will take you. Not only is this important for your comfort but it will greatly enrich your experience traveling or living abroad and it will earn you a great deal of respect from your local friends and neighbors.
