If you're serious about learning Spanish and are looking for a more holistic approach you should consider our Group 4 Spanish Course or a Private Spanish Class. If you can study for more than a week, already know some Spanish and want to brush up what you've picked up during your travels or learned at other Spanish schools in Latin America, then our Group 4 Course or Private Spanish Lessons might be what you're looking for. It all depends on what you want and how much time you have. If you already know some Spanish we can easily arrange a One to One Spanish Class for less than a week. Please Contact Us to reserve a Spanish teacher or to enquire about availability.

Learning Spanish if you're traveling in Latin America is the best investment you can make as a tourist

The cost of a Travelers Spanish Course depends on the amount of hours you sign up for and if you have private lessons or mini group lessons. A minimum of two students of the same level traveling together makes a mini group and can begin classes on any day of the week.

Depending on availability, classes can be scheduled in the morning or afternoon in a 1 - 5 day timeframe. Learning Spanish if you're traveling in Central & South America is the best investment you can make as a tourist: we guarantee it!

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. Just as most small businesses, we're greatly impacted by last minute cancellations, as it's difficult to assign your spot to someone else, so please let us know asap if your plans change and we'll reimburse your $99 if you let us know with at least 7 days in advance of your start date. Emergency Cancellation Policy: due to COVID-19, our regular cancellation policy cannot apply and we have put in place an emergency cancellation policy. We are currently unable to grant any refunds but we can grant credits towards Online Spanish Lessons or postponing your start date for future dates without losing your deposit.

Reasons to Learn Spanish for Central & South America Travelers

Learning Spanish will open doors to a lot more experiences during your vacation. More info here...Click to collapse...
A Totally Different Experience!
Being able to speak Spanish with the locals is one of the most important skills that any traveler in Latin America should have

If you really want to discover something amazing, get past the language barriers and embrace a culture and a way of thinking that is so far away from what you know, then learn Spanish!

The best part of traveling is the people: get to know them, be able to speak their language! Sightseeing can be interesting and ecotourism in Latin America is wonderful, but what about getting to know and understanding those who have shaped that reality surrounding you? If a landscape, a monument or an excursion can blow your mind away, imagine how meeting a person from a different culture can enhance your vision of the world.
