Location of our Spanish School in Boquete, Panama
If you are visiting Boquete, it's impossible to miss us. Several large decorative signs mark the distance to Habla Ya Boquete Spanish School as you approach the town of Boquete on the road from David. Besides, literally everybody in Boquete knows where Habla Ya is. Just ask!
Our Spanish school in Boquete occupies the entire upper floor of the front most section of Los Establos Plaza, Boquete's most complete commercial square. Our building is right on Central Avenue, Boquete's main road, so you will not have to make a single turn on your journey from David.
Habla Ya Boquete Spanish School is conveniently located in the heart of Boquete, only a block from the town's main square and central park. Our Spanish school in Boquete is close to everything, within walking distance to Boquete's best restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. Our Spanish students benefit from being only minutes away to almost anything they could possibly need. Minutes in walking distance by the way... really, for example (time is taken from our ground level door):
- Restaurant (Subway), 30 seconds
- Bank (Banco General), 30 seconds
- Internet Café (Services World), 5 seconds
- Coffee Shop (Kotowa), 10 seconds
- Tour Operator (Boquete Outdoor Adventures), 10 seconds
- Rent-a-Car Place (Budget)
- Mid Range Hotel (Isla Verde), 3 minutes
The remaining majority of Boquete's nicest restaurants, shops, bars and hotels are also within a 5 - 10 minute walk from our Spanish school in Boquete.
All students are given a detailed graphical map of downtown Boquete and surrounding areas that will help them get orientated. Moving around Boquete is very easy and almost everything is within walking distance so it is very difficult to get lost.
As you may know, Boquete is Panama's ecotourism and adventure capital. Within our school you can setup every single Boquete excursion and tour that can be possibly done in and around Boquete: rafting, hiking the Volcano or Quetzals Trail, the Caldera Hot Springs, Rock Climbing at El Gunko, etc.
If you fly from Panama City to David for only $15 you can take a shuttle from David to Boquete (2 passengers pay a total of $25, and 3 or more $10 each) that will leave you right at our doors. If you make the journey by bus from Panama City to David, you can take a bus to Boquete from the same bus station for $1.45 that will leave you only 1 block away from our school on its last stop.

10 Classrooms at our Spanish School: purpose designed spaces
Each classroom is adequately illuminated and ventilated to facilitate students 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 students and between them and their teacher. The whiteboard can be easily read by everyone in the classroom.
Each classroom at Habla Ya Boquete Spanish School is named after a famous Panamanian, Spanish or Latin American writer:
- Mistral (classroom 1): a large classroom with a rectangular table in which all students sit facing the whiteboard and it also has a nice view to the center of the Plaza.
- Cervantes (classroom 3): our most spacious classroom can easily accommodate up to 6 students + teacher but as our groups are limited to 4 students per group this classroom is used when classes will include active dynamics that require students moving around. Students sit around a table with horse-shoe shape and they have the whiteborad and teacher always in front of them. This classroom has a large window with a nice view to the Plaza's front.
- Márquez (classroom 2): a similar sized classroom as Cervantes but with a rectangular table that allows students to be closer it is s mostly used to motivate conversation within the class and exchange of information between students as all 4 students are within a close range at all times.
- Neruda, Miró and Quevedo (classrooms 5, 6 and 7 ): the first two are a more compact version of Cervantes and the last is a smaller version of Márquez.
- Borges (classroom 6 in layout): is our private classroom used for couples who requested a Mini Group or for private lessons.
- Delibes (classroom 8 in layout): this classroom has a large circular table which alllows dynamic classes appropriate for disccussions.
- Pérez-Reverte (classroom 9 in layout): a very similar classroom to classroom number 1.
- Bécquer (classroom 10 in layout): this classroom has been decorated to be used as a children classroom.
Besides having classes at our school, we take our students on strolls to Boquete's most gorgeous gardens and wildlife reserves to have outdoor Spanish lessons in which students get to describe and admire the beauty of nature. In these strolls our language students learn many nouns and adjectives, practice the topics 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.
