Learn Spanish in Boquete, Panama at Habla Ya Spanish Schools

Tenía una experiencia increíble con Habla Ya. Especialmente mis profesores Sergio, Juan y Ezequiel - no podía esperar nada mas de esoa hombres.

I had an amazing time with the people at habla ya. Especially the teachers - couldn’t have expected anything more from the teachers.

From start to end they were fantastic, both in terms of reaching my goals language-wise, and in terms of making sure I had a good time. With Sergio we went to the beach for lessons, while with Ezequiel we went to a national museum to practice. All in all it was a great experience!

My only recommendation is that people sign up well in advance for the lessons so that they can make the most of the resources available. Also, if you’re able to pick your teachers in advance I’d choose Sergio, Juan and Ezequiel without second thought.

My husband and I live in Boquete. We are Canadian and have been here for three years. We have taken other Spanish courses but felt we were ready to take classes, taught in Spanish. I was very happy that my husband decided to join me in this class. The Habla Ya school in Boquete is right downtown and is very convenient. Alex is a patient, kind and effective Spanish teacher. The classes were well organized and fun. I especially enjoyed playing scrabble in Spanish. I also enjoyed our outings in Boquete and up the mountain to a local Panamanian garden. I really feel that I took the next step in learning Spanish and am finding myself having full conversations in Spanish. I enjoyed my 3-week course very much and plan to return. The Panamanian people are very patient and like to help you when you try to talk Spanish to them.
Thank you Alex!

I studied 2 weeks in Boquete. I had a really great time with Habla YA and my teacher Leidys. She is an excellent teacher and I learned a lot. Boquete was a great place with many outdoor activities and beautiful nature. I also stayed with a host family which I highly recommend as well.

Habla Ya is a very good choice to learn Spanish in an effective way. The classes are small and everyone is really helpful und there are also nice activities organized by the school which is a good way to meet more students in your free time. Learning with Spanish Professor Leidys im Boquete is a lot of fun and she is really patient and can easily pick up your level and helps individually to improve your Spanish :)

I spent four weeks at Habla Ya in Boquete and one week in Bocas Del Toro studying Spanish with Habla Ya. In Boquete, I took group classes with Yubal and he is excellent. He made class fun and was clear with the material so me and my classmate learned a lot! He also speaks very good English which was very helpful in times of confusion for clarification, and he was sure to review anything we weren't clear about. I looked forward to going to class every day.

Also in Boquete I took private classes with Kimberly and Jeremy. Kimberly is incredibly sweet and very good at creating conversation with her students which lets us help practice when we don't even realize it. I really enjoyed my time with her! I spent less time with Jeremy but he was also helpful in going over new vocabulary and helping me remember it. Both professors were sure to help reiterate what I had been learning in group classes.

I got to stay with the Miranda family in Boquete which was a complete gift! All were extremely kind and fun to talk to, and their house is like a garden oasis that is beyond peaceful.

For one week in Bocas del Toro I stayed with the Morales Campbell family, who were very hospitable and easy to talk to. Their house is right in the middle of town which made walking easy as well. My professor was Benita, who I loved so much! She treated me and my other classmate like daughters, and her direct teaching style helped us advance faster in the level we were in. Benita wanted to know how we learned best so that she could teach accordingly, which was also so cool. She made my short time in Bocas very fun and made me feel immediately welcome.

I studied Spanish for a month in Bocas and Boquete. I spent 3 weeks in Bocas fell in love with the place and the people. My time in Boquete was tranquil and an amazing end to a incredible trip. I was lucky enough to have awesome teachers in both locations but in Boquete I had Leidys (also had Kimberly for private classes). Leidys was friendly and provided a variety of activities in class to enhance my skills. I recommend that if you'd like to learn Spanish - Panama is a great option. If you like to go out at night and enjoy beaches Bocas is certainly for you - or if you prefer a laid back hiking town you should check out Boquete.
