What is the world saying about Habla Ya Panama?

5 stars from About.com Central America Travel, by Kirsten Hubbard, September 28, 2009.

About.com Central America Travel Logo"I had the chance to experience Spanish lessons at Habla Ya Spanish School in Boquete, Panama, and let me tell you -- if you're looking to study Spanish in Central America, Habla Ya should top your list. The Bottom Line: top-quality Spanish teachers, flexible lessons, a comfortable yet stylish space, and cultural immersion activities every day of the week make Habla Ya Panama not just the preeminent Spanish school in the country, but one of the best in Latin America. Fully recommended."

From Abroad 101, by Martha Staid, October 6, 2009.

Abroad 101 LogoWhether you're planning to study abroad or just want to travel somewhere cheap and off-the-beaten-path, Central America is a great destination. Here are five top places to visit, and things to do there. All of these towns are easily walkable and have Spanish language schools, if you want to brush up on your español or start from scratch.
1. Boquete, Panama. Get out of the heat of Panama City in this laid-back town in the (very pretty) highlands. You can take small, personalized Spanish classes at the super-friendly Habla Ya Spanish School, or just let them arrange your activities: rafting, hikes, dance lessons, volunteering and more. They offer homestays with local families, too...

From the Lonely Planet Travel Guides, Panama, 4th Edition, by Matthew Firestone, November 2007.

Lonely Planet Guide LogoThe reader-recommended Habla Ya Language Center (tel. 730 - 8344); www.hablayapanama.com; Central Av.) offers both group and private lessons. Five hours of group/private lessons starts at $50/$75, though significant discounts are given for lengthier programs - 25 hours of group/private lessons is only $200/$300.

Tourism Generation, Inc.: who is behind Habla Ya Panama

A truly Panamanian company working for a better future for Panama

The young group of entrepreneurs that initiated Tourism Generation, Inc. chose the company's name thinking about two ideas. First of all, they are part of the generation that is living the tourism boom in Panama: the tourism generation. And secondly, they decided to be an active part of that tourism generation in order to influence the type of tourism that Panama would attract. They would generate tourism for their country but not any type of tourism: quality tourism, sustainable tourism. Tourism that would add to their country, making it a better place for all Panamanians and for those who chose to visit our country.

At Habla Ya Panama Spanish School we achieve this by:
