I liked the class, but stopped going early on because the time was simply too late (8:30 - 10pm). Nicolas was great. One thing that made me also not want to continue was the amount of time spent reviewing homework. It would take up ~half the class at times.

Very informative and thorough teacher, and class overall. I loved Karen and the energy she brought to class every week - she created a comfortable and fun environment where I wasn't afraid to make mistakes. Most importantly, I definitely feel like I made process through this class and feel more comfortable speaking than I did prior. Thank you!!!

The material is challenging. The instructor encourages questions and provides answer that assisted me in learning the language. There is so much to learn and I enjoy the challenge.

The curriculum is well organized and kept us advancing through the structures of the language while simultaneously introducing vocabulary by themes. Our instructor was excellent, helping us all to understand the structures and at the same time encouraging participation by all.

The courses at the Berges Institute are very well structured and the course load is perfect for working people. I’ve noticed my Spanish skills drastically improve in just a few months. I am very happy with my classes at the Berges Institute.

Just what I needed. Now I finally have a 'past!'

As an undergraduate, I had a minor in French. I took four years of university French language and conversation. With the exception of those classes being Monday through Friday, there was nothing about them that excelled in anyway over my experience at the Berges Institute. My instructor was exceptionally well informed, a talented instructor and most importantly very personable and funny. I cannot recommend him enough.

I enjoyed Rolando’s teaching style and had a great time in the class - so much so that now I’m continuing with Spanish 3! The students and the teacher were excited to learn and fun to be around. However, I would have appreciated more opportunity to speak in Spanish with other students in order to practice conversational skills.

The course was very intuitive and interesting. It helped me apply the language in every day use and the instructor was very helpful, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.

I really enjoyed the class. The instructor was energetic and engaging, and seemed to really care about students' understanding. I enjoyed how the class time was spent mostly practicing our Spanish and less about book work or instruction. I feel like my Spanish improved significantly from this class.

I learned a lot in the course from the past tense to pronouns.

I tested for Level II but felt unprepared. I needed more information at lower level and because the class moves quickly with the introduction of new material and past tense verbs, I started to get lost I also was more available to study the first 4 weeks, but got busy with work later and lost study time and class time. I tried but in the end not enough. Class was explained very well- and clearly by Elena and Sylvia. I felt they were under pressure to cover a lot including homework in 1.5 hours. I would have preferred a two hour class and lots more practice. But I didn't do my share but really enjoyed it .

The hands-on learning experience in class was fantastic. I looked forward to class every week, and Professor Nicolas was extremely helpful, constructive, and fun to learn with!

I enjoyed this course very much! The material is taught in a way that makes it very easy to learn. I'm excited to take level III.

I started taking classes because nothing else seemed to suit my learning style (apps and immersion only went so far!). This class has been a revelation and has helped me communicate with my partner and her family in their native language. Looking forward to completing all five levels!
