Community assistance requested
Boquete resident Barbara Bradley is looking for an affordable two-bedroom rental in Panama City for approximately two months while she undergoes cancer treatment at the Instituto Oncológico Nacional.

[News Boquete] Mama Sylvia wants a forever home
This is Sylvia. She is only about 1-1/2 years old. She was a stray at Playa Barqueta with 5 newborn kittens. A kind man took her in and kept the family safe. He had to leave, so she is now in Boquete with 4 of her very rambunctious kittens (one was adopted). Sylvia is shy at first, but warms up and becomes very affectionate. She and her kittens will be sterilized on Aug. 3. All are available for adoption.

[News Boquete] Crash Course Spanish Class starts on Aug 10th
New Crash Course Spanish Classes with Renny start on Monday
August 10 thru Sept 18, 2026 two days a week (Mon. & Thurs.)
It is a six-week class.
This is a fun easy class. If there is any practice or homework, those with busy schedules will love having the option of doing them by email or Whats Ap at their convenience.
_________________________
COST: $200
As many people know, Renny, a degreed professional, owned a language school in David under contract with the Panamanian Government giving classes for them, and also had one in Houston. She is now offering several levels of Spanish classes in Boquete, two levels of Basic I & II, and an Intermediate class. These are professional instructions with an easy, clear curriculum and the correct sequencing of material.
Location of the class is in Boquete
All of the Spanish Classes are called Crash Course Spanish
**** The Basic I class meets Mondays and Thursdays starting at 9:30 a.m – 11:30
This Basic Class will get you speaking fast!
It shows how the language is organized, and teaches the tricks of the language, the basics: pronunciation, some important cultural notes, phrases, vocabulary, speaking; fluid short conversations, how to ask and answer questions. You will practice and share tips, create full
sentences, and learn this trick, “how to speak without conjugating verb”. Workbook is included.
**** The Basic I class meets Mondays and Thursdays starting at 11:40 a.m – 1:15 p.m.
The Basic II Class is a progressive step-up before taking the Intermediate Class. Enhancing and expanding fundamental skills learned in level one with more speaking and practice than level I.
**** The Crash Course Intermediate Class
Class meets 2 days a week in the afternoon at 1:30 -3:30 p.m.
You will USE your acquired Spanish language! You will speak in class, get tips for learning to listen and respond, you will have short exchanges, pronounce the difficult, role play, learn word order, expand your vocabulary, and engage in specialized classes to gain better listening skills. You will speak every day, learn a higher use of some verbs without conjugating, create interesting sentences, listen to songs, conduct interviews, and give short speeches. Learn by doing. Each student will translate for someone. It's time to do better at understanding what Spanish speakers are saying BECAUSE… the class also engages in "Train your ear” as well as “Practicing Speaking”, all of this as you learn more and more Spanish fast; you build the confidence you need to converse with others.
Workbook is included.
Pre-requisite for the **Intermediate Class : you MUST be at the intermediate level of speech, no exceptions
**Intermediate Class To enter this class the following will describe your level of speech:
You respond to simple, direct questions or requests for information, can ask a few questions concerning needs and wants, and are able to express personal meaning by relying heavily on learned or re-combined phrases, repeating, or rephrasing what you hear around you. You know short and sometimes incomplete sentences in the present tense. At times you know you state things incorrectly but gain confidence because the Spanish speaker “got” what you were trying to say. You may be hesitant or inaccurate, whereby frequent misunderstandings arise. When called upon to handle a variety of topics and perform serious functions you operate at about a 40% to 50% success range, and can sometimes respond in intelligible sentences, but cannot sustain full sentence exchanges. You know the meanings/translations (not the conjugations) of at least 75 verbs.
