We traveled to Panama
My wife and I just returned from 10 days in Panama (Panama City, Chitré, Boquete, Boca Chica). It was a great trip that would have been a lot tougher without Fluenz. I studied Spanish in high school back in the early 70s but haven't used it since. I got through the first 3 Spanish LA DVDs before the trip. Was I ready to converse with the locals? Uh... not really, I've still got a lot to learn and was grateful that many Panamanians can speak some English.
Having said that, Fluenz was absolutely invaluable. In restaurants, on the Canal cruise, hotels, stores, talking to locals, paying off the traffic cop... it wasn't easy, I was often wrong and had to repeat myself, but IT WORKED. It was a great experience. And now, I have to finish lessons 4 and 5.
Gracias, Fluenz.
