Basic Conversation

I really enjoy this class! Mónica does a great job of coming up with interesting reading materials and conversation topics.

This was a very enjoyable and useful class. The instructor did a great job of engaging all the students in conversation. I feel that I was able to progress in both comprehension and speaking. Generally I prefer a more structured learning experience than this cl;ass provided, with announced topics and opportunity to prepare, but nonetheless this was a very positive experience.

Gloria is an excellent teacher! She makes conversations and learning fun! She inspires thought provoking conversations that encourage learning new concepts in Spanish

I was really nervous when I started this level because I was not comfortable speaking in Spanish. I must say that this level is great start to ease into speaking the language. I like the structure of the classes in that, we are provided with topics and "temas" as talking guides but still allowed to go off topics and speak with each other about interest etc..

Very well structured program covering all levels with such an interactive approach to push the student to learn and practice. And the teachers are all strong in their approach and quite experienced. So recommended! It would be great if you add more languages like Arabic with different dialects based on the teacher!

Very helpful. I feel like I gained a lot

The Basic Conversation class has given me a very comfortable environment to practice my Spanish-speaking skills. I enjoy the format of the course: the combination of speaking about articles in Spanish and the topic of the week offers exceptional space to practice.

I think the model that Berges has, with a monthly rate as opposed to a per-class rate, is a great feature, especially when learning a language is a long and slow process. The process does not have to be financially out-of-reach. I am taking a weekly grammar class and a weekly conversation class, so I feel like I am getting a very good value for my money, especially with the caliber of teachers that I have experienced. I wish I had found Berges sooner. If you are on the fence - I say go for it. And I suggest if you aren't happy after your first class, take another with a different teacher. Everyone has different teaching and learning styles, and you just need to find the right fit for you.
