I am over halfway through the course and am finding the learning style of the teacher very pragmatic and helpful. The socratic style of the classes also keeps you on your toes and gets you speaking a lot of Spanish throughout each class. Teacher is friendly and it's clear he has a passion for the language and for people learning it correctly. The homework is also helpful.

For absolute beginners, this covered a lot of ground. My wife and I both took the course and got a lot out of it. We had a great professor who grew up in Spain, which was perfect for us.

This has been a very good course. I like how they review the homework and we all have a chance to speak and are corrected appropriately. The feedback is very good. The pace is fast but they review everything each lesson which is helping this process.

María Chanamé is an absolutely awesome teacher! She explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand and remember. I am so glad that I chose her as a teacher. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because I feel like class 4 should be broken into 2 classes.

I have been very pleased with the pacing and challenge of the material as aimed at adult beginners! Having each class build not just vocabulary but foundation blocks of grammar is exactly what I needed to help jumpstart my learning. And having the homework set up with multiple exercises intended to spread over the week between classes is perfect -- I space out the homework so that nearly every day I am getting review time by working through one or two exercises along with the flash cards I'm making for myself as I go. I expect I will continue on to the second level at this pace!

Our instructor uses a combination of verbal, written, and modeling to guide use through beginner level conversations. She uses fun conversation topics, to help make our verbal practice entertaining. When I struggle, with verb conjugations, she redirects and uses modeling to correct. This class is enjoyable and appropriate for beginner level.

The Berges Institute Level 1 class was the perfect way to get back into learning Spanish. I was having a very hard time finding a class that would be real-time, with a good teacher, at the right level, and not too expensive. I like the Berges Institue because of the flexibility of the program (e.g. it's easy to reschedule),the focus on basic conversational spanish, and the fact that there are many levels to accommodate my progression with the language. I was lucky to sign up with Nelson. His experience teaching with Berges is a benefit to his students. He moves quickly but makes time for questions, and he is able to adapt the content based on the time available and our skills. I have recommended Berges to friends, and would definitely encourage them to take a class with Nelson.

I have a basic understanding of Spanish, but upon taking the exam prior to class saw that I got only 5 out of 25 correct. I was shocked.
I signed up for the Beginners Class. It is reinforcing some of my knowledge and giving me an opportunity to practice correctly rather than just speaking to people who overlook my mistakes. The material is great for a one week at a time course, not too much or too little. The combination of grammar along with verbs and sentence structure is a great way to learn.
Our teacher is fantastic. He is patient and explains well the techniques of the language and grammar. He is funny, interesting, a great teacher, and a genuine, nice guy. He'd be a great friend if we lived in the same place.

This is my first class with Berges and I'm quite please. I have progressed in my Spanish grammar and find the 1.5 hours go by too fast because I'm enjoying learning. My instructor Rolando keeps the class moving and is happy to explain and explore anyone's questions.

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.

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
