At Habla Ya we know it's not easy to pay for something that you haven't seen, in a far distant country, miles and miles away, so you can save your spot with just a $99 deposit and PAY THE REST UPON ARRIVAL! After you Sign Up & Register!, we'll confirm your booking details via email and send you a secure link to reserve your spot. Your $99 deposit will count towards tuition - Spanish lessons, or in case of "no-show" or cancellation within 1 week of start date, will be considered a cancellation fee.

Emergency Cancellation Policy: due to COVID-19, our regular cancellation policy cannot apply and we have put in place an emergency cancellation policy.

The Importance of Legal Spanish
Spanish course for lawyers at Habla Ya Panama

As Spanish speakers continue to move to the United States, Canada and other parts of the world, it's becoming a definite competitive advantage if you can speak their native language. This is especially noticable in professional settings. In order to be able to reach out to this new market, no matter at which level or area of law you work in, it's extremely advantageous if you can effectively ommunicate with a Spanish-speaking client in their very own language and establish the rapport required to gain their trust.

In the world of law, it's a golden rule that clients want a lawyer who they can trust and who will get the job done. The first line of trust comes from understanding one another, so why not take a course in Legal Spanish to give you the extra edge above other lawyers? If you know anything about Latino culture, you'll know how this can give you the edge in many situations.

Since your classes will be tailored to your needs, it's important that you contact us and let us know ahead of your start date, the type of law that you practice and the information that you would like to focus on in your Legal Spanish Classes.

Course Structure

Legal Spanish class at Habla Ya Panama
Course Length & Proficiency Requirements

If you're a beginner or don't know any Spanish, we will help you work on your general Spanish skills and at the same time we will introduce legal Spanish into your lessons according to the progress you're making, mainly with your conversational skills.

In order to focus on only legal Spanish, it's preferable that your current Spanish level is B1 or above. This way you have a good conversational foundation and can then add specific legal vocabulary, phrases and verbs to your knowledge.

Upon request students can shadow a lawyer in Boquete, Panama City or Bocas del Toro, Panama throughout his or her day of work, and assist an attorney with his or her daily responsibilities. The cost for this service is $25 per hour.

In this way you'll have 4 hours of group lessons to work on your general Spanish skills, and then 1 or 2 extra hours or private lessons each day to work on your Legal Spanish.
