The course was very easy to follow. There was a ton of content but it felt manageable and I learned it quickly.

There wasn't nearly enough speaking practice time during class, and I didn't learn the types of phrases I was hoping to. I thought we could have gotten the same grammar instruction from a class more oriented towards the types of conversations and questions you have while traveling

The structured conversation environment was exactly what I was looking for. After several years of fruitless app based attempts at language education, the class made enormous improvement in my ability.

I took a level 1 spanish course in Berges Institute, Ed was pretty good at explaining complicated grammar rules. The pace of the course is very well, you have a good amount of knowledge about Spanish at the end of the course.

I thought the class did a really good job at teaching the basics. I've actually studied Spanish all through grade school and college and I wanted to retake classes because my new job requires Spanish usage daily. So, I started with the beginner course because of the Groupon and LOVED IT. I thought our teacher was very approachable and made people feel comfortable even when they messed up. I'm already signed up for level 2. :-)

The progression of grammatical concepts was excellent, as was the amount of interaction and conversation, and Nelson was very flexible as people entered and left our particular class because of changes in their schedules.

Brilliant. When you're learning a new language and starting at zero, you're completely vulnerable and self-conscious even more so as an adult. The course offers a practical approach and you can use what you learn immediately.

I like the structure of the course. I took a Spanish class elsewhere two years ago and was very unimpressed with the teaching style, layout of the information taught, and the fact that there really wasn't any homework. I love that we have homework at Berges. It's important to lay some basic foundational groundwork before you try to force people to have conversations with each other, and Berges does this.

Excellent course for someone who knows no Spanish. The pace was appropriate and the teacher made learning fun. The textbook is very easy to read and to reference. The teacher discussed more idioms and encouraged class participation.

The course was great in providing me a good understanding of the basics and providing a solid foundation to build off of. I believe this path is much better then the educational apps you can download as it gives you added context around why and how certain things are written and/or spoke.

I really enjoyed the course and have signed up for Spanish II with Andreas. I liked the pace of the course, the way the materials was arranged, and the way the assignments helped to reinforce what was taught in the classroom. Andreas was very supportive, knowledgeable, and made the class fun!

I enjoyed the course and the pacing of the course was just right. I think it helped that I had some prior Spanish knowledge.

Very good overall, love the wide variety of date/time options and make ups, short length of classes and casual vibe. Teacher not super welcoming of questions but overall very pleased and will continue

Great way to start a new language But very intense learning and a lot to learn every week A bit to speedy for me Would be good to go back on previous lessons
