Habla Ya in Boquete, Panama
I spent little over three months at Habla Ya, studying Spanish and teaching English. When I think of my teachers and students I miss the place dearly. I spent time with several of the teachers; Mónica Vargas, Malkidia García, Minerva Rodríguez, Aráliz Veliz, Christopher Clark, and Yaira Muñoz—all of them were terrific. The teachers and the rest of the Habla Ya staff were very professional, welcoming, fun, and enthusiastic, which created the perfect atmosphere for learning. Needless to say, my Spanish improved dramatically over my stay. I encourage anyone looking for a Spanish language school to go to Habla Ya.

The Perfect Language Experience
I was fortunate enough to spend 3 weeks in Boquete, Panama, studying
at Habla Ya language school. The experience provided me with the perfect opportunity to advance my language skills and to increase my confidence level when speaking extemporaneously to native Spanish speakers. In private, one-on-one lessons with Mónica, I was able to gauge my progress and prioritize areas of study. Each day the focus of my lessons was on communication, verb tenses, grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. Mónica did an outstanding job of challenging me while providing consistent support and a wonderful learning environment. I would recommend this language school to anyone interested in improving their Spanish. I can almost guarantee you’ll fall in love with the beautiful town, the wonderful people and the opportunities for outdoor adventure.

Fantastic
I went to Habla Ya during July 2011 and my experience was fantastic. The instructors used a variety of teaching/learning strategies to get the best out of the students. The instructors are hardworking and made me, among others in my group, become comfortable with the language. I really enjoyed my time there although it was short. I would recommend this school to anyone who desires to embrace the language and grow. Habla Ya you are fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Excellent
I studied in Habla Ya, Bouquete this summer and recently at Habla Ya, Bocas Del Toro. I had a wonderful experience at both schools. The Bocas school was new and therefore fairly quiet when I was there but it has the same excellent teaching standards as Bouquete. As there was no one else at my level, I had private lessons for the same price as group lessons. My most recent teacher, Christopher was enthusiastic and provided fun but challenging lessons. I highly recommend Habla Ya.

Exceptional online learning
I only have good things to say about my six weeks of online Spanish lessons with Leidys. Her lessons were always clear, and she clearly made an effort to tailor them to my specific level. Leidys is extremely patient, funny, and all around a wonderful teacher. Due to her lessons, I am much more confident when I speak Spanish. I hope one day to visit the actual school in Panama so I can hang out with Leidys and her fellow teachers in person. Gracias, Habla Ya!

Wonderful Time
Studying Spanish at Habla Ya in Boquete, Panama was a wonderful experience.
I was lucky enough to have Leidys as teacher. As I had arranged to take private lessons she was able to concentrate fully on the points I needed and she provided me with all the explanations to help me improve on the less well-developed aspects of my knowledge.
The entire month of September was a very fruitful time for me, not only for learning Spanish but also for the experience of being in a Latin American country. All the staff at Habla Ya are extremely helpful in personal needs, show a great dedication to their students and they make sure that everyone feels welcome.
No surprise therefore that many students were there for the second or third time, I will return again next year.

YO HABLO ESPANOL
I studied in Habla Ya for almost 4months. Initially I planned to do 6weeks and later I extended another 9weeks. I went to Habla Ya with minimal Spanish knowledge and my teacher Katterina prepared me to successfully pass my DELE B2 exams that I also took in the school. Habla Ya is a fantastic school! It delivers everything is promises! Katterina is an amazing teacher! She is enthusiastic and lively in class! Everyone in Habla Ya are helpful and caring! I had a great experience in Habla Ya Spanish school and highly recommend both Habla Ya and Katterina as a teacher.

Good learning experience
I studied at HablaYa for 3 weeks this Fall and I believe it made a significant difference in my ability to speak Spanish. I was not a beginner, but I needed a lot of practice as well as a better understanding of grammar, and I believe my time at the school helped meet my learning objectives. My home stay was a good experience, and gave me a better view of the culture than I would have had otherwise. My teacher, Leidys, was knowledgeable and consistently well prepared for our classes. I recommend that students who plan to go to HablaYa make arrangements far enough in advance to be able to schedule afternoon classes since most of the extra-curricular options are in the morning.
My only real regret is that I only had 3 weeks available; I wish I could have spent more time there.

great and still in my mind
I studied for 3 weeks at Habla Ya. First I would do only 2 weeks, but than...
They have excellent teacher and a very good ambiance at school! I can highly recommend this school! The classes are very small and individually. Also the activitys are great! A big learning effect.

Excellent School
I studied at Habla Ya for two weeks in October, 2011. It is a fantastic program! The instructors are excellent, the administrative staff is very organized and I highly recommend the program if you are looking to learn Spanish and improve your knowledge. I recommend the homestay program as well as you will learn more Spanish outside of the classroom. Habla Ya has many activities to keep you busy when you are not in Spanish class as well. I wish I could have stayed longer but feel that I improved in 2 weeks. The instructors, staff, and other students are all very friendly. I highly recommend Habla Ya!

Aprender español por skype
In January 2011 I studied for two incredible weeks at Habla Ya and enjoyed it very much. I decided I wanted to continue my lessons and asked if I could continue with internet lessons. The answer was yes - and I have been studying spanish from Habla Ya via Skype ever since. My teacher Minerva has been wonderful. I enjoy the lessons very much. I asked for conversation and vocabulary practice and that is exactly what Minerva and I do. During our conversation classes Minerva discusses grammar when it is appropriate, but we focus mostly on conversation and vocabulary. We have wonderful discussions, and never plan a topic. The conversation just happens like 2 friends having a conversation. I really love it and would recommend Skype (internet) lessons for anyone who wants to continue studying spanish when they return home. Habla Ya is a wonderful school and I would recommend it to anyone, but if you cannot physically go to the school, I recommend studying via Skype -- with Minerva, if you can. She makes it fun!!

Awesome Language Experience
Before attending Habla Ya I had taken plenty of Spanish classes and studied the language throughout high school and college, but my mission during my trip to Panama was to become as close to fluent as possible. Before arriving, I was skeptical of any Spanish school because I believed that it would not benefit me to take even more "classroom" Spanish. The school totally disproved my assumption. My teacher Minerva was friendly and talkative so I received a ton of conversational practice, which is what I needed to boost my confidence in speaking with native speakers. Because I already knew a lot of the grammar, I was able to learn many of the idioms and phrases that took my Spanish speaking from a level of Good to Great in just 3 weeks. All of the staff was personable and the facilities were inviting and allowed for a social atmosphere that encouraged Spanish speaking among other students, teachers, and staff as well.
Living in Boquete was also a plus for Habla Ya because it allowed me to actually make friends with some of the local people to practice my Spanish with, as well as the numerous adventure tours that the town offers. My teacher Minerva was even gracious enough to invite me to her house for salsa lessons, dinner, and dancing with her friends to try out my new moves!! I was also fortunate enough to teach English classes as a volunteer at night, which was yet another opportunity for me to get to know the people of Boquete, and other volunteers as well. There is a genuine sense of community at this school and I would recommend it first above all others if you want to learn fast, and also have great long-lasting memories while learning Spanish.

absolutely incredible.
I attended Habla Ya with my best friend for four weeks starting at the end of July. It was the best experience i have ever had. I have taken spanish for a total of four years but I learned so much more in those 4 weeks than all those years combined. I absolutely would go back to Boquete any day I loved every second of my trip. None of it would have been possible without the incredible staff at Habla Ya especially my AMAZING teacher Minerva. She was great, I never liked to talk in Spanish because i always felt self-conscious but she made me feel so comfortable and helped me learn so much not only about the grammar and vocabulary but also Panamanian culture. I also was lucky enough to have most of the other teachers as well and they were all so nice and helpful. I cannot express how much I love the staff at Habla Ya, they are all amazing and by the end of the trip I felt so comfortable with all of them, which was really great knowing if I needed anything at all they would be there to help me. Not only were the teachers and staff amazing during my time in Boquete but now that I am home they have made an effort to keep in touch and practice Spanish every so often which I really enjoy. I would love to go back to Habla Ya either in Boquete or in Bocas, I loved everything about my trip and reminiscent with my best friend every day on the memories we had and things we did while in Panama. The location was optimal, the town being so small gave us a chance to meet so many amazing people. I remember walking down the street and seeing at least 2 or 3 people we knew each time. My parents were nervous about me going to another country by myself but I have never felt so safe, it was perfect. I could go on all day about everything I loved about Boquete, Habla Ya, and the people I met. It was the best experience I have ever had and I will never forget it. I LOVE HABLA YA!!!! and miss it so much! <3

A great language learning experience
I spent the first two weeks of September 2011 studying Spanish at Habla Ya in Boquete, Panama. The teaching was uniformly excellent. I had 6 hours daily of one on one lessons. My teachers were Araliz and Christopher. They each had their own styles but were both very good teachers. Araliz stuck fairly close to the text and made sure I understood all the grammar. Christopher was more focused on figuring out my weaknesses and helping me master aspects of the language that I had trouble with. He is an outstanding teacher and I would certainly ask to work with him again if I return to Boquete. The only downside was that September is in the rainy season and it did rain a lot. This is an excellent school with great teachers, and I would highly recommend it. My Spanish improved considerably in just 2 weeks. Boquete is also a delightful little town in the mountains.

Speak Aready!!!
After taking spanish classes for 2 years in high school, and learning nothing, I wasn't sure how much I could accomplish in only 3 months. After a few weeks I realized that Habla Ya is actually a spanish IMMERSION school. Personally I need lots of extra practice and that’s exactly what I got. Not only did I practice speaking in class, but I decided to live with a local family. So every day after school I went home to speak and listen more! Unlike high school, we spent at least half of a 4 hour lesson conversing. It seemed like every day in my classes with Katterina we would wind up on some controversial topic which really motivated me to speak. The more comfortable I felt, the more fun I had, and the more fun I had, the more I learned. It’s a vicious cycle. So if you are really interested in learning the language, instead of simply studying it, I highly recommend choosing Habla Ya. You will instantly be welcomed into the Habla Ya family!!

Habla Ya
This is a great spot for learning Spanish, nestled in the heart of Boquete. I found the campus inviting, and all the staff friendly and helpful. My teacher, Minerva, was especially outstanding in every way.

LANGUAGE LEARNING AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURE BLISS!
I studied Spanish at Habla Ya language school in the heart of amazing Boquete. I had private classes with Irasema at Habla Ya for two weeks and she was a top notch teacher. She is a kind and approachable individual who sincerely loves teaching. She was patient and encouraged me to select the class material to match what I wanted to learn. My classes were also tailored to my profession, per my request. Irasema’s teaching style was creative and she always made sure that I was learning the language in a way that was practical and applicable – she wanted me to be able to converse rather than simply focus on a limited grammatical approach. Grammar is just as important, but the Spanish at Habla Ya and my experience with Irasema, is taught in a way that allows students to feel more comfortable speaking right away. Habla Ya is a fantastic and well-organized Spanish school in the heart of a magical town with loads of world class outdoor activities. The outdoor/adventure arm of Habla Ya is known as Explora Ya, which boasts an abundance of professionally guided outdoor adventures ranging from rock climbing to river rafting. These places are sought out from all over the world, and rightly so. I highly recommend both! Thanks Habla Ya and Explora Ya!

What a great school
Unfortunately we only spent one week at Habla Ya but if I could, I would have stayed as long as polssible!
First of all you have to mention the great environments: Boquete is located in the middle of the cloud forest, surrounded by an untuched nature. The school itself is modern, light-flooded and well looked after.
I think comparing the special atmosphere is impossible.
A friend and me, we had a fantastic teacher, Minerva. I could never attend such a professional edication. When I came to habla ya, I've been learning spanish for 3 years but during this time i learnd more than in a few months at home. There was not a bit of pressure, It was more than talking to a friend that talking to a teacher. Minerva was able to explain us even the hardest grammar things faster than I thought it could be possible. Thanks a lot Minerva you're the greatest!
I can recommend this school to anyone and I'm looking forward to my next visit!!

This school is second to none.
Habla Ya was everything I could have asked for in a Spanish school. I spent eight weeks in Boquete, taking 5-6 hours of Spanish a day. After my time in Habla Ya, I feel comfortable speaking Spanish with anyone I encounter.
The classroom instruction was superb and in my opinion second to none. I had three teachers during my stay in Boquete: Irasema, Yaira, and Monica. Each one brought something different to the curriculum in ways that made it fun to learn. The most important of all, though, was the clear fact that they wanted us to learn. Some days everything clicked and others it was more difficult, but I could always count on my teacher taking me aside to ask what was wrong or how she could better instruct me to get the most out of the lesson. For this, I am extremely grateful. Habla Ya employs educated, patient, and professional teachers, all of whom I became very close with during my stay.
The classroom was not the only learning opportunity. What I loved about this school is that each Friday we would leave the classroom and apply our language skills in the real world. Whether is was walking through Bajo Boquete or heading to David, myself and the other students were able to put our lessons to use. Opportunities like these are ones you will not find many other places. It is one thing to learn curriculum, but it is another to learn the environment and be able to put your knowledge to practical use.
Outside of the school, everything I learned was concreted each night as I returned to my wonderful host family. Habla Ya has a variety of wonderful families that are specifically paired with students. This was not only my experience, but also the experience of all the students. I made many friends during my stay and each one would agree with my sentiments regarding the host families. If ever a student did have a problem, Habla Ya made it their job to remedy the problem. In each one of these cases it turned out positive.
I look forward to staying in touch with my family who treated me as one of their own while I lived under their roof. Personally, I believe the host family portion is vital to the entire learning experience.
I plan on returning to Habla Ya in the future and I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone.

Best Month
I have now been home from Boquete, Panama for 5 days and am missing it immensely. My four week trip to Boquete was beyond unbelievable, thanks to the amazing Habla Ya Spanish School! I was a bit nervous but the faculty worked together to place me in the right class with Minerva where i instantly felt at ease! I had 1.5 weeks in a group class with 4 other students, and the other 2.5 weeks were spent with just my friend Miranda and I. Minerva was absolutely fabulous, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She worked well to discover our weaknesses, and then found ways for us both to improve upon them. Minerva was absolutely hilarious and we were constantly laughing, while learning! I was shocked that I could be in a class for 4 hours everyday and never hear Minerva speak English, but still understand everything that was going on! She also made class extremely fun, we took a trip to Mi Jardin es su Jardin, to the visitor center, we walked around Central Park and the Bridge another day, and sat outside for class multiple times, which makes learning all the much better, thanks to Boquete's beautiful weather. Since I have been home I have had several conversations via facebook with Minerva and love being able to continue my spanish while i'm home in the United States. All of the faculty members at Habla Ya are so helpful and friendly, you feel at home the moment classes start! Everyone is like a little family, from all across the world, it's unbelievable. I would definitely recommend Habla Ya to everyone of all ages! We met 10 year olds and 70 year olds that both had wonderful things to say about their time with Habla Ya! In addition to the Language Center, Habla Ya has a partnership with Explora Ya that made our trip even more enjoyable. The possibilities are endless in Boquete, thanks to the professionalism and excitement of everyone working. I am already trying to plan my return trip! Thank you to everyone at Habla Ya, especially Minerva! Te extrano!
