I studied in Boquete for a month. I started from nothing and left with plenty - I thought the instruction was great. Small classes that are intense as you want to make them. I had a very amiable host family, who fed me well. And Boquete is such the perfect place to live, to study, to just be a human... More

I have been taking an online Spanish class offered by Habla Ya language school, and it is great! The teacher Leidys is very good at explaining both grammatical and "real world" usages of Spanish verbs, phrases, etc. She is patient, thorough, and good at explaining things.

There are... More

After spending 3 weeks at Habla Ya's school in Boquete, Panama during the summer of 2011, I decided to continue my Spanish lessons using Habla Ya's online lessons. Habla Ya is incredibly flexible in the scheduling of my lessons. I currently have one-hour lessons three times a week. We communicate using Google's video capabilities and share documents via Google Docs.... More

Location and staff were all college trained. I attended two weeks of school with Habla ya in Bocas Del Toro and one week in Boquete. Both schools were ran very professionally and at both locations the staff were fantastic.
