This course has helped me gain confidence when speaking in Spanish. Nelson is thoughtful and attentive to student needs. The conversation portion is extremely helpful in terms of learning and I became much more comfortable during it as a result of taking this class.

The course was about as good as a group class can be when you have students of different mother tongues, different experience levels, and different motivation levels. I may just do privates for the next level.

I feel that I learned a lot in this class especially from the interactive games and conversations that we participated in towards the end of each class. Jennifer offered just enough guidance yet liberty for us to develop our skills.

The course was fantastic. We had four people in most of our sessions; and we built camaraderie throughout the weeks. The sessions were segmented into specific learning modes, some were easier than others. Our instructor was receptive to our questions and eager for us to grasp and understand grammar.

Serious study on a daily basis, including doing the homework and going over the material between classes should lead to a very rewarding result. Juan Carlos works hard in the class, makes sure to involve every student, patiently answers questions, explains concepts very well, and is generous with his time, often starting a little early and gladly staying late. The written materials are very well done as well. Berges Institute has a very excellent product, with equally excellent instruction! I learned a great deal!!!

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.
