Habla Ya (Speak Already) is centrally located in Boquete and has other locations in Panamá. Courses are tailored to meet your needs with groups or semi- or private lessons. Materials are provided. A typical Beginning course is about 60 hours of classroom instruction. The teachers are native Panamanians with good English skills. My teacher, Kimberly, made it fun.

The teachers there are professional and had some fun games to organise the classes more creative. From monday to sunday Habla Ya offers different activities to get to know the other students and the island. Bocas is a nice little town where you can find everything on the main street. With every issue or question I had, the guys at the reception at Habla Ya helped me a lot. In total I can say, Habla Ya Spanish school in Bocas is a very professional school which I can totally recommend.

Sono stato ad Habla Ya per due settimane e ho visitato il corso alla mattina. La mia insegnante, Benita, è molto brava a spiegare, paziente e le ore sono passate senza mai pesarmi. La scuola organizza anche attività giornaliere per conoscere meglio il posto, nuove persone e la cultura locale. E le feste a Bocas sono leggendarie! Lo posso solo consigliare.

During the summer of 2016 I enrolled in classes with my girlfriend. Our first impression of the campus was very positive. The staff at reception was very accommodating toward our budget and we loved the options. We took a small group session and were matched with our teacher Ricardo. He went above and beyond to help us gain a comprehensive understanding of the Spanish language and the regional dialect. We also loved engaging in all of the activities offered by the school. Great experience!

My boyfriend and I were in Panama and went to the Habla Ya reception, talked to Carlos and decided out of all the schools and language programs available, this was the place for us! We took mini lessons with Ricardo, he provided us with the BEST Spanish classes we have ever had. We were astonished by the amount we learned, and retained!! The school activities are a great/fun way to get to know the staff/ students. I 100% RECOMMEND HABLA YA OVER ANY SPANISH SCHOOL AROUND! We will be going back!!!

J'ai vraiment adoré cette expérience et je suis vraiment heureuse d'être tombée sur cette école! C'était super amusant et facile pour moi d'apprendre le français grâce à l'ambiance professionnelle mais aussi agréable et conviviale de cette école. Je suis même devenue amie avec les professeurs et je m'y suis sentie comme chez moi! Je vous conseille vivement d'y aller car tout m'a plu du début à la fin: l'école, les cours, les professeurs, l'accueil, les activités de l'école, Bocas del Toro!

Great support for students! Carlos and staff were there to help transition to Bocas and everyone was very patient with our questions and requests. My son and I were able to relax, study Spanish and explore the beautiful archipelago. The Habla Ya school is a great place to experience Panama!!

My time spent in Bocas del Toro learning Spanish at Habla Ya was incredible. I have never seen a location offer so many different activities outside of the classroom and also be organized enough to be able to structure and plan out each individual students travel itinerary. Every person working at the school was friendly and helpful through all of my questions and needs during the duration of my classes. I learned more than I expected due to my experienced instructor and will be returning soon!

¡Hola! Tuve una gran experiencia en la escuela de Habla Ya en Bocas del Toro. Quedé en Bocas por 3 semanas, Ezequiel y Christopher fueron mis maestros. ¡Ellos son estupendos! Cada día los maestros nos enseñaron por lecturas, lecciones de gramática, escrituras, videos interesantes, pero la mejor parte fue las conversaciones. Las clases eran pequeños con 2 a 5 estudiantes y pudimos hablar de muchas temas diferentes. Ezequiel y Christopher hablaron con nosotras sobre temas interesantes y ellos nos dieron bastante vocabulario para expresar nuestras opiniones de muchas cosas. Me encantaban las clases de Habla Ya y mis maestros. ¡Si esta buscando una escuela para aprender lo mejor español Habla Ya es lo mejor lugar para usted!

I studied for four weeks in Boquete and two weeks in Bocas, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Habla Ya. Facilites, classes, activities, home stays- all were excellent. I have been to other language schools, and Habla Ya is top notch.

I spent 6 weeks in Habla Ya on Bocas del Toro and I have to say that it was on of the best experiences I've ever made. I attended the Habla Ya language school and I felt totaly welcome from the first moment on.I had three different teachers during my stay, Itzy, Ezequiel and Christopher. All of them were very great teachers and I really enjoyed my classes with them. Especially in my last week with Ezequiel I boosted my Spanish with a lot of new grammar, also in form of games what made it easier.

I spent 6 weeks in Habla Ya on Bocas del Toro and I have to say that it was on of the best experiences I've ever made. Bocas is an amazing place and totaly worth visiting it. It's just a very relaxed and family-like atmosphere. But though I have to say that I improved my spanish a lot. All in all it was one of the best holidays of my life and I would defenitly recommend it to everyone.

The school is fantastic. I've spent an awesome month in Bocas learning spanish. In this place you do both: resting and chilling on beautiful beaches and improve your language skills very fast because you study at least 4 hours a day, but these 4 hours feels like 30 minutes. All teachers are amazing. I want to mention one of them - Ezequiel. He was my teacher. He is just perfect. Not only because he is good in teaching spanish but also because he becomes a good friend who shows you where to go and what to do in Bocas. We spent much time out of classes together talking and having fun which helped me a lot with spanish. After 1 month I've improved my level from elementary to almost upper-intermediate. Other words, i am completely satisfied of the school and classes.

HABLA YA IS INCREDIBLE. In only 4 weeks I managed to complete two levels of spanish (B1 and B2) and now have the ability to have in-depth and complete conversations with native spanish speakers. I also have the confidence to sit the DELE certificate in a few months. I highly recommend Adriana Santiago as one of the best Spanish language teachers I have ever had the experience to learn from. Her ability to adapt her teaching to my learning was remarkable. Absolutely incredible. Go to Habla Ya!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience studying Spanish at the Habla Ya Spanish School in Panama. The teachers are excellent - well-trained, flexible, helpful, fun and just plain nice people. It felt like being part of a family. More important, after the course we felt that we had learned a lot and could now express ourselves.

I have studied Spanish at Habla Ya in Bocas del Toro for five weeks. It was an amazing experience which has given me the opportunity to learn Spanish and Panamanian culture well. I would like to give a special thanks to my teacher Eziquiel. If you consider going to study at Habla Ya I would definitely recommend him. He makes you feel comfortable learning a new language and explains things well untill you really understand it. Moreover, he makes learning Spanish fun which makes it easy to learn.

My experience at Habla Ya was exceptional. The overall process & customer service was incredible and made things so easy (including booking tickets from Bocas back to Panama City). But more importantly, my private lessons with Diógenes were incredible - he created a super-fun, relaxed, yet fast-paced learning environment. Thank you! Highly recommend!

I did private classes with a young teacher, Ezequiel. As an upper intermediate speaker I was glad to have a serious teacher who really did push me. I think we were both a bit shy to begin so it took a while to find a rhythm but he was able to give different examples for everything I questioned and it made it so much faster and easier to learn. I would go back to Bocas in a heartbeat - for the culture, for the beach and definitely for Spanish classes with Ezequiel at Habla Ya.

I had a fabulous experience learning and practicing Spanish at Habla Ya in both Bocas del Toro and Boquete, mainly because of the teachers. I came with a lot of background knowledge of the grammar rules but was completely out of practice and therefore not very confident when speaking. I had 3 different teachers during my time there last summer and all of them were wonderful: Diogenes, Abelardo ("Lalo"), and Itzi. They are all very knowleagable, personable and fun. They used the book the scho

I really enjoyed my time at the school and my teacher was fantastic! We got to talk a lot and it really helped us. It's in a nice location and Bocas itself is amazing. However, I didn't find the school very sociable, the extra activities weren't organised very well.
