Reviews for Beginners level: Spanish for absolute beginners

It was excellent. Briken down in simple form with use of examples to make me understand the instructor was great and encouraging

Patient and engaging instructor, loved the format of the class and the way the class was structured

I liked the course very much.

It was a very good course.

I took a class in person in 2015, and now I am living across the country and am fortunate to take a class again from you all. I think the approach is simple and I am able to learn quickly. I think the style can be a little stagnant, but it’s important to lay down that ground work before one moves on. The Graf approach is very simple.

Really enjoyed the class and loved the way that it was structured. Appreciated the conversational approach to applying our lessons

I had a very good experience with my first Berges Institute course. I liked how the course was organized, the clear topics and focus provided through the pdf textbook and the regular (weekly) class meetings.

The course was comprehensive and challenging. It was a good mix of textbook learning and peer to peer work.

The course was great--Silvana was a patient, encouraging and fun teacher. I love the content of the courses, the pace, and the structure. Really looking forward to the next class!

Great foundational course!

The course was amazing - I felt like I learned so much in a short amount of time and Nick was a really wonderful teacher. The virtual experience was really seamless and the class size was also great, if felt like we all got plenty of time to ask questions and practice in every class. I already signed up for level 2, can’t wait!

I really liked the course I took through Berges. It made me feel like I had a better base level of understanding the present tense and certain verbs we use in the language over and over again. My instructor Karen was a great teacher and was so patient with us throughout the course.

This was a great online course to start learning more Spanish. I definitely got a lot out of the class and really enjoyed my professor and classmates.

The course was appropriate for a beginner student. The content was clear and in the order of difficulty. There were homework exercises to practice after class. It focused on overall literacy in Spanish- Reading, Writing, Listening n Speaking. The pace at which content was covered was just right... never too slow or rushed. The instructor explained the content very thoroughly with practice examples. Miss Medina is super professional and has immense patience. I have enrolled in next level now... The cost of the the course is high without the Groupon and will be a factor in enrollment for the next level. The institute should rather let students use Groupon’s to encourage them to continue their learning of the new language. Last but not the least, the coordinator, Laura Rios, is extremely prompt in her communication with any queries. One suggestion would be to provide instructors direct institute emails for communication rather than always going through the coordinator. Overall a very good experience.

Fun ,informative and the Bright spot of my week!

Excellent course with an exceptional teacher.

I enjoyed the class and Rolando’s instruction style.

Great course. I was devoted and eager to learn during the pandemic

I loved the pace of the class. It zipped along and we covered a lot of ground in a short time. Nelson was fantastic and kept it moving with great energy.

I really enjoyed the online classroom experience and now can speak basic conversational Spanish with mi novio!
