Maria was a great Spanish 1 instructor. She explained everything clearly, was patient, and made the class easy to follow. She created a comfortable environment to ask questions and practice speaking. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend her to anyone taking Spanish 1.

The class has been great. The instructor is very patient and easy to understand. He encourages participation and softly corrects.

This was an amazing introduction to Spanish! After only 10 weeks, I can introduce myself and have a short conversation in Spanish confidently. The material could be a bit dry with the textbook, but my instructor Rolando did a great job keeping us engaged and helping us learn the most we could each lesson.

I have really enjoyed this class and Ana as the instructor. I only gave 4 stars because sometimes it is harder to understand what people are saying online. But it’s been worth every penny! Thank you!

It’s been a delight to attend the weekly session with Maria. The sessions are extremely well planned and she teaches in a way that no one feels embarrassed to participate. It’s really helpful to have such a strong focus on grammar. The online teaching materials are excellent and it’s great that you are able to catch up on previous lessons through the video recordings. It’s really nice to work along beside such lovely fellow students. It really feels that everyone is motivated to develop their confidence in understanding and speaking Spanish. I would highly recommend this training module to anyone who would like to learn Spanish

This is a great course! I've tried other books and apps to learn spanish but didn't feel like it really understood. For the first time I feel like I'm really getting it! The teachers are great, and the other students help make it a comfortable place to work. Highly recommend!

Great intro to Spanish or a nice refresher if you’ve been exposed to the language before. I like the how the content, classes, and homework are structured - not too much at once and designed to absorb it at a good pace

Perfect difficulty for me. I had already been studying with a textbook by myself for the past 6 months but I was finding it difficult. This class covered many things I had already tried to learn and I understood them much better after the Berges classes.

I feel like I learned enough to be able to speak and understand simple Spanish. It was motivating to continue. Great class!

The instructor is excellent and the pace of the class is good. I feel I have learned a great deal in a short period of time. The only thing I would like is more work on speaking and pronunciation.

I have been extremely pleased with my first beginning Spanish class with Berges Institute… in particular, with the incredible teaching skills of my instructor, Gloria. I would definitely recommend her class to any beginner student who has almost given up on ever learning to speak Spanish!!!

I've tried learning Spanish several times, but in the first few lessons with Berges I'm finally understanding and progressing. Really enjoying the experience.

I am wonderfully surprised at how well this online course is. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and teach in an easy to understand and simple way. I would highly recommend this company and course to anyone wanting to learn Spanish. The online zoom classes are live so it is like you are in a classroom. I purchased the book on Amazon and I suggest that instead of just the online book. I write all of my homework and notes in the book.

The content is incredibly clear and straight forward to work through. Our teacher Gaston is excellent. A super lovely person who is passionate about what he does and wants you to succeed. Key signs of a good teacher! The only point change id like to see an option for 2 or even 3 classes a week rather than just the one. It doesn't seem so straight forward to accomplish this in a way that makes sense, even with the unlimited class option.
