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.

The Basic Conversation course was a fantastic way for me to get to practice what I have been learning in the other courses. Nicolás kept the conversations rolling even when there were students with different levels of conversational ability. I was a bit nervous and apprehensive at first about taking a course that was just going to be focused on conversation but after the first class all of the nervousness I had went away.

I enjoy the basic conversation course. I have taken it a few times. While the course is designed for basic conversation, students of different levels can benefit from it. The majority of the time only Spanish is spoken, but English is used by students and instructors if needed. The instructors normally use whiteboard and chat to spell out new words or remind us of the grammar rules. The class has a good pace when all can participate. The instructors can offer topics for the day or ask the students to drive the conversation. Overall, it is a well-structured course for the beginners.

I really enjoyed this course, especially since I took it in combination with a weekly grammar course (level 3). The classes reinforced one another well. I actually have even more notes from the conversation class, as there were constantly new words and phrases classmates or Gloria used that I want to commit to memory, or uses of grammar I overheard that needed some reflection. I liked the small classes and variety of themes. I'm more motivated now to keep learning Spanish-- and it was great to hear from multiple people recently that I have noticeably improved in the last few months!
