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.

I appreciate the emphasis on speaking in class; the instructor makes sure that you have an understanding of the topic for that week, but as adults we can go over exercises at home/during the week and practice that in class through dialogue

The course was great. It felt a bit below the level I am at, but I still learned a lot. My only feedback is to enforce people to only speak in spanish as much as possible.

Thought it was very insightful. Liked the structure and was able to build of the Spanish I knew. I like how things were constantly integrated from previous weeks making it easier to retain the information.

I love the structure of the course. It’s very logical and each chapter compliments the previous one. I’m also really happy with Nicolas’s teaching style. Speaking in foreign language in front of other people can be intimidating, but he makes everyone feel comfortable with it.

The course is good and easy to catch. Instructor plays a vital role when it comes to language classes. Nicolas does great! The style he has is easy and playful -- essential to relax and not thinking or being scared about making mistakes. I keep going towards improving my Spanish and talk better soon. Thanks a lot!

Nelson was fantastic. Great job of keeping it fun, encouraging conversation, and teaching the fundamentals. But 1x/week group classes do not a Spanish-speaker make. It's not enough practice or instruction.
