This language school is one of the oldest foreign-run businesses in Bocas Town, founded in 1998 by owner-instructor Ingrid “Ins” Lommers, who, in addition to speaking Spanish, speaks English, Dutch, French and German.

Over the years her school has grown from a staff of one to a staff of eight. The school offers a wide selection of options, from one-on-one instruction at $130 for two hours per day to $190 per person for six hours of group instruction per day.

There are also several special options, including a “Travelers’ Survival Spanish” course consisting of six hours spread across two or three days for $40, and “Spanish for Children” ages 3 to 6 for $100 per week, including food.

The school offers lodging ($10 per night) and can arrange accommodations with a family (private room, but shared bathroom) for $12 per night. There's also an activities window where, among other things, students can sign up for snorkeling and catamaran tours.
