I like how the Berges Institute is set up with homework and a test because i makes you keep up and work consistently. Juan Carlos is very patient. He keeps his class light and fun while still getting lots of work done.

Really loved the pacing of the course. We were constantly reviewing and building at the same time. The teacher was very patient and fostered a comfortable and often fun atmosphere. I felt like she was there for us.

I took Spanish in High School but haven't really touched it / used it since. I started at level 2 and still felt like I was learning new things despite being relatively familiar with Spanish. There's a large focus on grammar, which was very helpful for reading and understanding, but there's also lots of speaking that happens in class to flex those skills. All in all, I loved taking this class at Berges Institute and I already signed up for my next class!

The scaffolds of the course are such that students are able to practice the skills we learn between classes during our weekly meetings. It's a wonderful opportunity to use the language we are practicing through homework in dynamic situations. The instructor is there to answer questions and help us improve!

The class is great. Edgardo makes the learning fun; it's challenging to remember all the vocabulary but, before you know it, real progress is made. Everyone gets to speak Spanish each week. I highly recommend this class.

Level 2 Spanish was obviously a build on top of level 1, where we learned basics, present tense and vocabulary, here we learned about past tense, more descriptive vocabulary plus a few other things. I love the way that this course is taught and how although I needed to know the basics, I do not feel like I need to know every single vocabulary word given to carry on. I practice often and I felt like at the end of this course I am closer to being conversational. I certainly can read paragraphs and write paragraphs (ONES PROVIDED IN CLASS! I am not that advanced). Jesus is a great teacher and I believe does an excellent job of making what he teaches very relevant to how language is used in general and of course in Mexico. I like that he points out cultural differences. I am moving on to level 3 and plan on completing every level and course work Berges Institute offers.

Great format and structure to the curriculum -- it makes sense and is accessible to different types of learners. I like the workbook a lot. And Jesus is a talented, patient and positive instructure. This is a great program; highly recommend it!

As a couple who had taken Classes together in Level 2 Spanish at the Berges Institute with Instructor Alejandro Navarro we feel compelled to again continue to mention the awesome time we had during our Level 2 Class same as when we had taken the Beginners Class here at Berges and with Navarro as well.

The course was well organized and built upon vocabulary and sentence structure learned in level 1. The classes were also interesting and enjoyable.

I started doing some language learning on apps, which definitely provided a good foundation. Being in a classroom is much different. Speaking to one another is critical. The text book provides ample information and real-life situations to practice, as well.

The course and materials are excellent. Every lesson is organized around thematically organized vocabulary and grammar, providing building-blocks in Spanish.

The course was great for Level 2. I tested into Level 3 but decided to start with Level 2 con Monica and am very glad I did. She kept the class focused yet playful. I would definitely take classes with her again! Monica + Duolingo + Reggaeton = Spanish MASTER!

I didn't expect much signing up for this class but it was absolutely amazing. Loved my teacher Melissa! She is awesome! There were only a few folks in the same class so it almost felt like a private course. The books are very On point, without a lot of water added and very well structured overall. I learned a lot and feel more confident now to make a small conversation in Spanish. Thank You guys!

You will need to commit a lot of personal time outside of class to memorization and studying. The class time of 1.5 hours is limited to discussing the past weeks homework and going over the new chapters. As someone who has not been in school or had to study in a long time, this class was difficult for me. I did learn a lot, but I also felt I needed more time with the teacher.

Loved the course - our instructor was the best! Very interactive and well-structured. A lot of insights about Spanish from Spain and Spanish used in Latin America, which was fascinating for a European like me :)

I like the pace of the class, the small class size, and the opportunity for us to practice talking in the class. This allows us to keep practicing and learn from our mistakes.

I rather enjoyed the course and Eva provided more variance than other instructors which I enjoyed, additionally I missed a few because of vacation but was able to catch up luckily.
