Location of our Spanish School in Bocas del Toro, Panama

Starfish Beach in Bocas del Toro, Panama

If you're visiting Bocas del Toro, it's impossible to miss us. We're located on Isla Colón, the main island, in Bocas town, on the road that leads you out of town and takes you to Isla Colon's most beautiful places such as Bluff Beach, Boca del Drago and Starfish Beach. Besides, everybody in Bocas del Toro knows where Habla Ya is. Just ask!

Our exact physical location is on the southern corner of G Avenue and 9th Street, just a block before the hospital or a 7 minute walk from Bocas del Toro's Central Park. We are in a quieter place of town ideal for Spanish learning, but still within a 5 minute walk to bars and restaurants such as the Casbah and Mondo Taitu and literally only a couple minutes walk to several Bocas del Toro hotels. And if you want to quickly hit the beach, our School in only a 7 minute walk to Playa El Istmito, a 3 km stretch of beach with gentle waves popular amongst locals.

8 Air-Conditioned Classrooms at our Spanish School in Bocas del Toro

All of the classrooms at our Spanish school in Bocas del Toro are air conditioned

Bocas del Toro is a tropical island and needless to say, despite the fresh Caribbean breeze from the sea, it will get hot and humid (click here for more information about Bocas del Toro's weather). As we strive for academic excellence we are aware that when you're studying Spanish you require to be in a comfortable, stress free and adequate environment. Each of the classrooms at our Spanish school in Bocas del Toro is air-conditioned and thus we ensure that the heat and the sweat stay out of your Spanish lessons and we provide you with a nice temperature so that your brain can function. And for those days when it's not too hot, we also have fans in each classroom so that we don't have to use the air conditioning unnecessarily.

Each classroom is adequately illuminated and properly ventilated each day to facilitate student's concentration for longer periods of time. Tables and chairs are ergonomically designed to ensure everyones comfort and the furniture is laid out to allow maximum interaction between the students and their teacher. The whiteboard can be easily read by everyone in the classroom.

Teachers are encouraged to take the Spanish class outside of the classroom

Each classroom at Habla Ya Bocas del Toro Spanish School can comfortably fit 6 Spanish students plus your Spanish teacher (in reality there is space for more but we limit groups to 6 per class) and is named after a famous Panamanian, Spanish or Latin American writer: Cervantes, Neruda, Mistral, Vargas Llosa, Borges, Quevedo, Miró and Cohelo.

Besides having classes at our Spanish school, we take our students on strolls to Bocas del Toro's streets and neighborhoods to make sure you get to practice your Spanish in real life situations, or we just walk by the beach. During these strolls our language students learn many nouns and adjectives, practice the topics that they have been studying in class and get a chance to enjoy the fresh air. Students in our Group 4 course go on 2 hour strolls every Friday and those of our Crash Course for New Residents go once every 2 weeks. Depending on the group and on the student's level, strolls may take place more than once a week.

Our balcony is a place where our students can do their homework, sit down with their laptop and surf the internet or just take a pause after classes to catch some fresh breeze from the sea.

Students can also spend time in our tropical gardens with teachers and classmates while enjoying a refreshing glass of water.

In addition to our gardens and balcony, we also have a kitchen and TV area, where students can store their food in a fridge and heat it up in a microwave or do their homework on one of the tables. Movie nights, Panamanian dinners, salsa lessons and conversational sessions also take place in this area.
