The teacher was fun and easy to communicate to. The class is small enough for everyone to ask questions and participate.

Class was engaging and I loved the weekly review and going over the homework, to further pound in the lessons. The teacher was excellent and was able to convey lessons that may be hard to learn as English speakers.

Far exceeded my expectations. The text is very thoughtfully written with a clear, easy to absorb methodology. And my teacher, Juan Carlos, was exceptional - so much patience, good humor, with an intuitive gift for teaching. I'm amazed at how much I was able to learn in such a short time, eagerly looking forward to Level 2.

I enjoyed how the course was structured. The homework provided for plenty of practice. Vicky was great & provided extra examples/words/phrases that coincided with what we were learning.

I am a former educator and a beginning Spanish student. I was very impressed with the instructor's (Victoria's) knowledge and skills in imparting that knowledge. She engaged the class for the full 90-minutes every week, and made learning fun. I also appreciated the logical flow of content in the course, and how it introduced an appropriate amount of new material each week. I look forward to Level 2!

Well structured course with highly qualified instructor teaching practical, every day, useful Spanish. Really enjoyed the classes but due to health reasons (surgery) I could not complete the course. The instructor offered to review my homework if I could e-mail it to him, unfortunately I was not able to take advantage of this generous offer.

Sitting in class sometimes seemed overwhelming, but by the next class I would realize I was able to retain a lot of the information taught! The instructor answered all questions and recognized where each student needed help.

I thought the course was very good. I felt I was constructing sentences early on & making good progress. Juan was a great teacher. I have already signed up & started level 2.

I really enjoyed the course! Level 1 was a great intro course and Juan Carlos did a fantastic job not only in teaching the language, but in helping to understand the nuances of the language.

Learned a tremendous amount of Spanish in a short period of time. The weekly homework and final exam provide the right amount of motivation. Good balance of written and oral skills taught

Course was ok, I wasn’t happy how the questions on the test were asked. Some questions seemed more for an advanced class than beginner. Would have liked to see a review class before the test was given.

Level 1 Spanish was a great course! Our instructor Nelson reviews homework in a way that all students speak Spanish regularly in class, we answer his questions and we ask each other questions also. The Graf method and textbook are well organized, you can use its vocabulary and grammar with descriptions of your life, your home and your family to get better at speaking in Spanish. I love the flexible make-up class that Berges offers, if you miss a class, you can make it up by attending a session with another teacher, as long as class size permits. Super-convenient for vacations in the summer! Wish they offered more languages like French or Korean, I would not go anywhere else!

The Beginners Level course was a great way to start understanding the basics of Spanish. I recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn and is starting from nothing!

From small steps to leaps. I am very happy with the technique. With a bit of effort at home, aka homework, there are great rewards. I felt very engaged throughout the beginner's course.

Like everything aside from too long final test. I learned quite a bit. The course is intense but I wouldn't want it any other way. The final test is too long. 50 questions would be sufficient. 88 questions was a chore. Professor Zuluaga is great and I will take level 2 with him.

I enjoyed the learning style of the course - the book explained everything in a logical way and at a nice pace. I really enjoyed learning with Edgardo - he has a lovely temperament, explains everything in a way that is easy to understand, and even adds extra information not contained in the course book. He is also very patient! I enjoyed the course so much, I have signed up for Level 2! The only reason I have given 4* not 5* is that I feel there could be more time dedicated to practicing what we learn as we go (in the session).

I loved the Level 1 course! I feel that it was the right level of introduction to the language and the pace was just right. The homework and exercise helped to embed the learnings. Each class built upon the one before it and our instructor, Julia, did a great job in making us practice in a "safe" environment where we could make mistakes and ask questions.

The way the course was taught was ideal in regards to a mix of english, for instruction, and in Spanish for practice. The perfect mix of written, reading and vocal exercises. Homework was manageable, but thorough for people who have to work and study.

I really loved this class and am eager to start Level 2 next week! Maria was encouraging and positive, but also challenging and kept us on our toes. I feel like I made real progress in this class and can now speak in (albeit very simple) sentences in Spanish.

Excellent! Rolando was very good the class, even though the course was fast-paced, he made it easy! He was very good with addressing all our doubts. The course work for this level is very good for a total beginner like me. Would definitely recommend.
