I really enjoyed my first class at Berges. The material is organized in a way that promotes learning. Alexandra Valencia is a great teacher,very patient and extremely helpful. I will be taking my next level with her. I have learned so much in level 2and I want to build on that this Summer.

I really enjoy having a live class environment. While the apps are nice for vocabulary, being able to speak with other students and ask questions is invaluable to me. Julia Negrete as a professor is extremely patient, encouraging and has helped me grow quite a bit.

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.
