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.

This was a fantastic way to learn beginning spanish. The virtual class format was interactive, the course material well done and easy to understand. In particular, Felipe, the instructor was outstanding. Highly recommend this course. My only suggestion would be a 2X/week course format (same week duration) to enable students to absorb the fairly aggressive amount of material better and to enable more speaking in spanish opportunity.

The classes are both informative and open for questions and further elaboration if something is a little confusing. My Teacher Felipe is both patient and knowledgable. The homework is challenging but has taught me a lot. I am truly enjoying the class. Mucho Gracias!!!
