Very organized and friendly. I visited all the schools in the area for personal reasons as I am an English teacher and wanted to see who was professional on the island. It is a couple more dollars than the others but you get what you pay for. I was impressed. This is by far the best place to take spanish... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my month at Habla Ya in Bocas del Toro, and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning Spanish in a welcoming and fun environment. Not only does the school offer extra-curricular activities every day, but it also boasts some of the best Spanish teachers I have ever had. My two professors, Yaira Muñoz and Christopher Clark,...

I was in Bocas for 2 weeks where I attended Habla Ya. The education I received was very good. They have a very systematic methodology of advancing your level. I had Chris as a Professor. He was fun but disciplined. He made sure we covered each topic fully before moving and before we put the lessons to practice through discussion... More

Great experience with Habla Ya! It may cost a bit more but you can see it's quality as compared to other schools. You get what you pay for! Everyone at the school is very friendly and professional and my professor, Yaira, was helpful, optimistic, and very interested in my progress. More

I went to Bocas del Toro this february to learn Spanish and of course to participate in the numerous night life activities. It was a great success. Facilities at the school are very good and the professors are knowledgable. Also, I had a great time in Bocas. It's beautifull and without doubt the most relax place on earth. More

I took my classes in Bocas. The schools website is completely comprehensive in that I was able to sign up for a variety of course... More

I have been a student in Spanish at Habla Ya Boquete via Google video, but during this fall and up to February 2012, I switched to Habla Ya Bocas for several months and the quality didn't miss a beat. Irasema Tijerino was a fantastic instructor and I graduated to the next level under her teaching. Now I'm back with the... More
