I think this class is very helpful and I do believe I am learning a lot. I like that we learn and especially speak which is what I would ultimately like to be more comfortable with. Monica is a great teacher and I am able to fully understand what she has us doing.

With very little background in the Spanish language, this course has allowed me to begin building a strong foundation in speaking Spanish. There's always opportunities to speak, read and practice in class with the instructor and classmates, and reinforce all the information learned through the homework. The structure of the course also allows for that flow where you're able to begin practicing the speaking and reading skills from day 1, which was important for me!

I've had to move around the scheduling of a couple of my classes- it was easy and all of my instructors have been so great! They teach with a laid back welcoming approach that makes it easy for me to just try (no real fear of mistakes!). Love it! I will be taking at least the next level class this year!

Excellent beginner Spanish class! Clear explanations, a comfortable pace, and a supportive learning environment made the class both enjoyable and effective. The instructor was patient and engaging, and I gained confidence in basic Spanish quickly. Highly recommend for beginners.

The methodology used is spot on, but the lack of a consistent instructor is not conducive for quality learning. You just get used to one instructor and another instructor is teaching.

Maria Chaname was a great teacher. She was very knowledgeable, supportive and kind. She taught in a way that supported my confidence in practicing a new language without feeling judged if I said something incorrect.
Overall the class does feel a bit fast paced and more techniques or practices in class to support memorization would be helpful.

I’ve really enjoyed taking this Spanish class with Silas. He is very kind, patient, and approachable, which makes learning feel comfortable and encouraging. One thing I especially appreciate is how he consistently reviews previous lessons, helping reinforce what we’ve learned and making sure no one feels left behind. His teaching style makes the class engaging and easy to follow, and I feel more confident building on my Spanish skills because of his approach.

Gloria had been a fantastic teacher and the on line programme has really worked.
Gloria is really patient but drives us to achieve. Having homework and going through it in class helps keep focussed. The programme is good too - I just need to practice more!
I am really enjoying the course and intend to continue to the next level.

This is a "refresher" for me as I took Spanish in high school. It is helpful for getting my brain thinking about what I knew a long time ago. Able to make me feel comfortable with verb conjugations and speaking in front of peers (and the teacher-Edgardo-for correction is helpful).

The class and teacher are very helpful! I feel that I am receiving a well executed plan for learning a basis for understanding and speaking the language. It is important for me to have accountability in some way; so the weekly class, with homework helps me stay motivated and committed to studying.

As someone who spoke absolutely no Spanish beyond sí / no / gracias, this class provided the foundation for exponential improvement and comprehension that has been extremely rewarding.

This is an easy on line class that moves quickly into using the words in Spanish from the first class. I am just in the beginner class but the lessons are well planned to give a structure to the grammar and my instructor is very supportive. I am enjoying the on line class very much.

This has been an excellent class. At least for me it moves at the perfect pace. We cover a lot of material, but not so quickly that I would fall behind. I had taken a bit of spanish in middle school about 20 years ago, and having that foundation was helpful, but this class was mostly new material anyway. The teacher was very friendly and helpful, and I liked the other class members I was learning with. It's been great struggling, succeeding, and improving alongside a group.

This course was exactly the right one for my level. The pacing and breadth of instructional content was very good for helping me build basic skills to continue learning. The instructors that I have experienced have all been very knowledgeable, patient and helpful.

Overall I found the structure of the introductory course to be very good. The topics and vocabulary seemed well matched. However, I do wish that the text book provided more in-class exercises that are separate from the homework exercises. More is always better when learning a language. Completing weekly homework that is a duplicate of what is done is class is not the most effective way of learning a language. Variety and repetition are the keys.

I was hesitant to take classes online but have thrilled with the Berges classes. I moved to Madrid at 56 with zero Spanish. I appreciate that this program started at the very beginning and met me where I'm at. I feel supported and encouraged. I find them to be small and much more personal than I expected. I have taken classes with several different teaches and without exception, they are positive, organized and effective. I find the program clear and supportive. I especially like the corresponding workbooks and homework assignments. I plan to continue with the program as I see it as a great value.
