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

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.

It’s basically a good solid foundation.
