This was my second time at Habla Ya in Boquete and it will most likely not be the last time. I spent six weeks at Habla Ya last year and enjoyed it very much. I had several teachers who all were very good. This year I have had another six weeks of Spanish classes and it was even better than... More

My third coarse of Spanish classes at Habla Ya ended last week. I left feeling confident and better able converse in Spanish thanks to my instructor Leidys. She was engaged and enthusiastic about teaching her students. I appreciated her energetic approach encouraging her students to challenge themselves in a comfortable class environment. She was able to give me the fundamentals... More

I just finished my second course of Spanish lessons at Habla Ya, and again, they have "wowed" me! In my opinion, there are three parts to a successful language school -- the instructors, the curriculum and the business administration end of things. In each area, Habla Ya excels. Tamara and Araliz were my instructors, and both of them are exceptionally... More

I studied at Habla Ya for 12 weeks and I enjoyed every second. My teachers were Victor Miranda and Mitzila Vega and i'm truly grateful for their help. My Spanish is much better than it was when I started and i owe it to those two. Initially i was shy and timid about speaking but with their methods and I... More

My wife and I spent five weeks improving our spanish skills at Habla Ya Boquete. It was a delightful and worthwhile experience. The method of communicating only in Spanish from day one forces you to completely forcus on the task at hand. The teaching tools used, e.g. video, audio, text, workbook, games etc were very productive. We want to especially... More

I had a great time in Bocas learning Spanish at Habla Ya. I spent two weeks in Bocas in group lessons with Diogenes as my instructor. I left feeling much more confident in my conversational skills. I would definitely do it again. I can now have more than simple conversations with people I meet in the street or at a... More

I went to Habla Ya in March of 2013, and was so impressed that I returned a month later. My teacher was Leidys, a wonderful woman and talented teacher who makes you want to learn. Be sure to request Leidys. My two experiences have been excellent. As a matter of fact I´ve gotten so serious about Spanish that Leidys is... More
