I very much enjoyed this course. Having taken Spanish in middle and high school may years ago, I was worried the beginner class would be too easy but it was a great refresher course. The pace was very good and I feel like I learned (or remembered) a lot.

Love this course. I've learned so much, so quickly - my partner who is a native Spanish speaker is so impressed. Can't wait for the next level.

Level 1. Moves quickly. You learn the basic things such as locations. Time. Days. Months. Greetings. I love how they teach you how to actually pronounce things and not just memorize words

The grammar based Graf Method is superior to other language-learning methods that I have experienced. It is by far the best method for a non-native speaker to learn to speak in Spanish. The classes are affordable. The free workbook is concise and easy to follow. Being of good quality and design, it is easy to carry and work with. The teachers make sure the homework is thoroughly reviewed and questions are answered before moving on to the next lesson.

I loved taking Spanish at Berges Institute. I started Spanish Level 1/Beginners with some very basic vocabulary but no formal teaching. The first week I thought I knew too much for Beginners but soon found out I had WAY more to learn! I had to opportunity to work with more than one instructor, and found each one to be happy, patient, kind, and super talented at teaching. The more you becoming involved with your class and open up to learning, speaking out loud, and contributing thoughts, ideas, and examples the more you get out of your class. I can't wait to continue learning and developing my new language skills at Berges.

Course is well structured but goes a little fast. I had a few different teachers and each one was very clear in presenting the lesson and answered questions with clarity. They also wrote on the blackboard for additional help.

Class structure is great. The little book makes me not overwhelm like other books do.

I really enjoyed the class and Nicolas the one suggestion I would have is not having class right back to back but spacing them a little so students can ask follow ups with the instructor.

Very good, focus on the things we need to know as adult second language learners. This foundation will allow you to become more advanced!

Great for someone who does not have much time to dedicate to learning Spanish. Work load is reasonable and the pace of introducing information is perfect. The structure of attending an actual class creates the motivation to study. The emails from the Institute are good "add-ons" to the experience. Lots of flexibility to reschedule missed classes.

Learnt so much in the ten classes, more than what i had expected. Wish we had more materials though - maybe a cd where we can bring home to do a listening test? Or even a student portal where materials could be posted there. The weekly emails are good, with tips on how to master the languages and app suggestions and more.

This course is perfect for beginners! I like the teaching methodology, starting from grammar and basics to higher levels. The exercise in class and homework are very helpful! I will keep learning till the highest level!

I truly was an absolute beginner, but was never made to feel that way. I felt comfortable participating, asking questions and making more than my share of mistakes. We had some laughs and I learned some espanol. The Saturday offering was convenient for me as I came in from New Jersey every week.

I liked that the course was aimed at adults, and that we learned about systems that we could apply (rather than just phrases to repeat). The learning was well paced with a good amount of homework each week.

Never before have I taken a foreign language course (outside of standard high school classes), so I don't have anything to compare to my Berges experience. That being said, I am impressed with the teaching logic employed. Within the first class, we were learning to construct complete sentences. I felt like we really dove into things from the onset, instead of learning in a more tedious fashion. I look forward to moving up to Level 2!

Very helpful! I learned a bit of Spanish in high school but it was very unhelpful compared to this class!
