Skype user: All of our Spanish courses in Bocas del Toro and Boquete, Panama are highly personalized but your personal interests and/or learning needs might dictate a Spanish Course designed specially for you. In our Group 4 course for example, we won't focus on Business Spanish or Spanish for Construction, Tourism/Hospitatlity or Legal Spanish. Imagine if a group was made up of a biochemist, a firefighter, a math teacher and a fiction writer: focusing on specific learning needs related to each student's profession wouldn't make sense for the rest (unless all of you were starting together a business venture in Latin America, of course!). This is why you can either add extra Private Spanish Lessons on top of your Group Lessons (what we call Group 4 PLUS) or simply sign up for Private Lessons.

Role play and review of legal documents also take place in class.

Mini Groups - Spanish for Couples or Small Groups of Friends
Just 2 or 3 Students in a Class
If you and your partner or a small group of friends want to sign up for the same Spanish course and for any reason feel the need to have more privacy and would feel more comfortable if your class size was limited to your own private party, then this option is for you.
Mini-Groups are also intended for couples or groups of friends who want to be together in the same class and desire a special schedule different from those of our Group 4 Course or our Part Time Course for New Residents: groups smaller than 6, less than 4 hours of lessons per day or classes for a different amount of days per week than the usual 3 or 5: there's simply more flexibility! Minigroups can have up to five students in the same group.
This option only works if all of the students have the same Spanish level and similar interests and/or needs. If not, you might be better off with Private Spanish Lessons.

Spanish Courses for Children
Spanish Classes Made for Kids
Children are special students and must also be taught in a special way. For this reason, children have a very special place in our school and we take into careful consideration how we give them classes. We make sure their classes are dynamic, to keep them interested in learning a new language, and at the same time educational, to make sure that they really get the most out of each hour of class.
We know that you want them to have a head start in life by giving them the opportunity to speak Spanish. We will not only fulfill each parent's expectations but we will also bring out the best of each child: your treasure becomes our treasure each time he or she comes into the clasroom.
Classes can have up to 6 children per teacher, but there are normally only 3 or 4 per class. We'll make sure to only place children of similar ages and with similar levels of Spanish proficiency within the same class.
Family Learning Vacations
We also help families plan their Family Language Vacation Program so that everyone can have Spanish lessons at our Spanish schools in Boquete and/or Bocas del Toro. We will help your family make the most out of your stay in Panama helping you organize and plan what to do during the weekends and after classes.
Habla Ya is made up of a team of teachers qualified for doing just this. Several of our teachers have plenty of experience teaching children. Besides Spanish lessons, our teachers will play games with them that will also help them with their language skills, like bingo and monopoly. Kids can get bored inside a classroom so our teachers also take them to local gardens like El Explorador, Mi Jardín es tu ín and Paradise Gardens. These teachers are specialists at making the learning environment a pleasant one in which each student can feel comfortable and develop their capacity to the maximum. Other than this, we have extracurricular activities such as strolls around town, where students can put into practice what they have learnt in class.
If you and your family have just moved to Panama and would like to make the transition for your kids as easy as possible, we would be more than happy to arrange a Spanish course for them to get them speaking Spanish, making new friends and performing well at school as soon as possible. Moving to a new country is hard enough... help them learn Spanish!
For those of you who have relocated to Boquete or Bocas del Toro, and are looking for a good excuse to have their grandchildren visit during their summer vacations what a better idea than to arrange a summer language program for them that combines Spanish lessons & plenty of Eco-Adventure Tours!

Spanish Lessons for Teenagers
The Perfect Learning Environment
Today's teenagers need a high dose of entertainment. Boquete, Panama's Eco-Adventure Capital, is the ideal place to keep teenagers busy allowing them to learn Spanish and have a one in a lifetime vacation.
Teenagers who come with their parents can also join us at our Spanish school in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
Students from 13 - 17 years of age can travel to our peacful town and live with a responsible and caring local host family that will take them in their home as their own son or daughter. If parents are also joining us, they can also experience a home stay with the same host family, a different host family, stay at a hotel, or the entire family can stay together at one of our recommended lodging options.
What is it like for Teenagers?
Besides having daily Spanish lessons students will have the opportunity to interact with the local culture, make Spanish speaking friends, gain a better understanding of an environment different from their own, achieve more independence and responsibility, have a higher appreciation of what they have back home, participate in many social and cultural activities, take part in Boquete's Eco-Adventure Tours, volunteer in one of Boquete's many NGO's and so much more. Teens that take part in this Spanish Exchange Program aren't really in a hurry go to back home.
During Panama's high season (January, February and March) and during summer vacations (June, July and August), teens can take part in our Group 4 Spanish Course with other teens (4 hours of group lessons per day) and during other times of the year, teens can either have MiniGroup Lessons (if they come with a sibling or a friend) or Private Lessons if they come on their own. It all depends on their Spanish level and on the Spanish levels of other teens that we might have at our school.
Parents are always amazed when they realize how much their teeanger learned in just three or four weeks of Spanish lessons, generally even more than what they've learnt in several years back home. If you would like your teen to become completly fluent in Spanish, you should allow two or three months depending on his/her current Spanish level.

Many parents decide to start their family's summer holiday by joining our Family Language Vacation Program. After a week or two, once they feel more comfortable with the idea of leaving their teenagers with us, they go back to work or simply take advantage of the situation and go around exploring our amazing country as a couple and/or with other friends.
Spanish Courses at your Home, Office or Hotel
If you live in Bocas del Toro, Boquete or in David, and if for any reason, it's sometimes hard to leave your home or office, we can send a teacher right to your door, perfectly prepared and equipped with all the tools to teach a class in the exact same way that we do at our school. On the other hand, if you are staying at a hotel and just love the place, we can also teach you Spanish right there. These classes can be private lessons or in groups (for families or friends traveling together). The organization of these groups will depend on the Spanish levels of the students involved.
