Spanish Courses Rates | Private & Group Lesson Fees & Costs

The table just below illustrates the price range per hour for each type of class (considering 20 hours per week).

Further bellow you'll find a Complete Price List with Start Dates for Each Type of Spanish Course.

* Prices are in US Dollars. Please add 7% Sales Tax. Group Lessons have a maximum of six students per class (average is 3 - 4). Mini Group Lessons are intended for two or three students who want to restrict their class size. Private Lessons are 1 to 1 classes (one teacher with one student). The * price range per week in the above table is calculated assuming 20 hours per week are taken. Depending on which course a student signs up for, students can sign up for more or less hours of Spanish lessons per week.

The cost per hour for Spanish lessons at our Spanish Schools depends on the amount of hours purchased. The more hours a student signs up for, the better the rate he or she will have access to.

Rates for Spanish lessons are the same at all of our Spanish schools (Habla Ya Panama City, Habla Ya Bocas del Toro and Habla Ya Boquete). As long as we have availability you can use your hours at any school location.

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.

For those students who don't know any Spanish, beginner groups usually start on every Monday of each month, but there are exceptions, so please complete your PLACEMENT TEST to ensure there is availability.

Students who ALREADY KNOW SOME SPANISH can start their Group 4 Spanish course on ANY MONDAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR as long as they SIGN UP IN ADVANCE!

If you know some Spanish, even a little bit, please remember to also complete our PLACEMENT TEST.

If you're making your journey with a group of friends and plan to have Spanish lessons for the entire week from Monday to Friday we can schedule four hours of mini group lessons in the morning or in the afternoon and leave the other half of the day for you to explore Boquete, Panama City or Bocas del Toro. Our team will be more than happy to assist you and help you plan all the ecotours that you would like to do in Boquete, Panama City or Bocas del Toro, Panama.

A DELE Exam Preparation Course can be arranged to start whenever you want to, but our advice is to start preparing for your DELE exam with at least 2 months of anticipation before your examination date, although this also depends on your specific Spanish level and on the specific DELE Cervantes Diploma you want to achieve.

Please submit your Placement Test before registering for the DELE exam and we will let you know your current Spanish level and help you decide which of the 6 DELE exams you should take and when you should take it, also taking into account how much time you have to prepare for it.

The amount of hours you'll end up purchasing is the exact amount of hours that you'll need to prepare for your DELE Test and get your DELE Diploma. You can choose to have between 4 - 6 hours of 1 to 1 Spanish Lessons per day.

You can also join our Group 4 PLUS 2 Course (4 hours of group lessons + 2 hours of private lessons per day) and devote the extra hours of private lessons to prepare the DELE, while utilizing your group lessons to keep improving your general Spanish and conversational skills.

When considering how many of hours to sign up for, take into account the specific level that you should complete in your DELE Preparation Course in order to successfully pass your DELE Test. In order to determine your current Spanish level, please submit your Placement Test.

A textbook for your level is included when you sign up for at least 20 hours of lessons, and a course certificate is included when you sign up and attend for at least 60 hours of lessons.

As this course is designed for new local residents in Panama, we can start a new group at any time. Only two students of the same level are needed to start a group. We continually start Beginner Crash Course Groups almost every other month and we always have groups of other levels starting and going on during every month.

Please pay us a visit so that we can know your exact Spanish level, complete our online Placement Test or Contact Us and let us know if you do not know any Spanish and we will get back to you as soon as we have a group available for you.

Each of our 3 first levels can be completed in a 60 hour (10 week) course. This is why students sign up for 2.5 months (60 hours of group lessons). When you sign up for a Part Time Spanish Crash Course for New Residents in Latin America we ask you to commit to finish at least one of our levels. This is why most students purchase 60 hours of group lessons throughout 10 weeks, making only 1 payment.

If you find it more convenient you can also decide to make 3 payments for 20 hours each, 2 payments for 30 hours each or even make 1 payment to purchase 120 hours and complete two of our levels paying the best rate per hour for Spanish lessons.
