Loved the course! Fun, engaging, challenging but not too difficult. Our instructor did a great job, particularly under the circumstances of having to teach virtually.

I liked the Graf Method. It was easy enough to understand as a beginner. There were only 3 other people in the class which allowed everyone to participate at a good pace. I tend to lose interest if I have to wait for 5 or 6 other people to respond to questions from the homework particularly if they are not prepared. The instructor was patient with us and stayed pretty much to the format of the material. He did not go off on tangents which can really confuse me but brought to our attention certain things that he thought were necessary for us to know that might have not been covered in the lesson.

I came into the class with decent amount of memory from 9 years of classes from middle school to high school. However, without continued practice over the 30 years since, I lost a lot. The class as helpful with reintroducing vocabulary; verb conjugation; definitives; sentence structure. I learned why sentence structure existed as opposed to how it was taught in school which was "it is what it is. that is the rule." Attending this class showed me where I have used Spanish incorrectly. Attending online during the pandemic was amazing, but didn't leave opportunity for conversations/interacting between classmates and teacher.

It was great. Maria was so engaging and created an environment where students could engage with one another, which is so challenging online. I learned so much and was prepared for the exam and so happily surprised that I was able to hold a conversation at the end!

I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was very knowledgeable. New vocabulary / grammar was introduced in a logical way. Being able to take the course online was convenient. I feel like I learned a lot in the ten weeks.

I love the place from the front desk to the Teachers. My work schedule wasn’t allowing me to continue and they worked with me tremendously. Juan Carlos is an awesome Instructor and I hated having to stop. I’m going take it again next month!

I really enjoyed learning throughout this course. My instructor was a great teacher, she was patient and always had answers for our question. She made me motivate to continue learning Spanish. Very much satisfied with her lessons and look forward for more to come.

The course was an appropriate speed. We went through the entire textbook within a good amount of time, not too fast, but not too slow. The homework was intentional and helpful, as it gave more practice. Excellent instructor and very informational course.

The course was very enjoyable and I reinforced the basic Spanish I learned in HS. I look forward to taking all the Berges classes and becoming fluent.

I loved taking this course! I feel so much more confident to continue learning Spanish after the first level. Alexandra was absolutely awesome and made the learning great process enjoyable. I’m planning to take more classes in the future!

The course was well done. I think more could have been covered, but difficult with having numerous people online. It would've been nice to receive the actual book in the mail as the course cost includes a physical copy. Ready for Level 2 now!

I would have preferred onsite, but it was out of anyone’s control. I like the pace of the course. Nick took the time to make sure we understood before moving forward. The book was laid out in an easy to understand manner.
