Level 2 was fantastic! I built upon the principles learned in Level 1 and helped me to greatly broaden my vocabulary. I really like how the instructor spent a good amount of time at the beginning of each class reviewing with us what we just learned. We also spoke in Spanish a majority of the time, so it helped me with pronunciation as well.

I signed up for Level 2 right after completing Level 1 and enjoyed the new material. I liked how the homework utilized material from the first level as well - I felt like I was building my vocabulary and skills. I have signed up for Level 3, so I will be continuing on at Berges.

Great info. Wish there was more of an effort to have us speak in Spanish more in the class.

I appreciated how I recognized in this Level 2 booklet, material covered in Level 1. I also really like the weekly e-mails offering supplemental materials to classes of all levels. Sending weekly emails of the homework covered last week was very helpful for me when my schedule changes every week and I sometimes couldn't attend a class.

Good book with a good pace. Instructor explains things clearly and is able to meet all students at their levels, giving the more advanced students some some more challenging grammar and vocabulary without losing the beginners. Good stuff!

I thought the class was great. It was a wonderful way to re-enter the language after not speaking it for a long long long time. Monica is an awesome teacher with the patience of a Saint.

I am surprised by how much I learned in a short period of time. I feel much more confident than I had previously.

The class was informative and enjoyable and also more fast-paced than Level 1. The information is laid out clearly in the book and if you put the time in you will do really well and learn a lot.

Very well structured. Good amount of homework. Could do with less English being spoken in class.

I learned a lot about grammar structure and the instructor always engaged us about what we did over the weekend so we can practice talking/listening in Spanish

I really enjoyed the Level 2 class, and I learned a lot. I placed into Level 2 so I skipped Level 1 and I think it was the right decision. The basic knowledge and vocab that I had already was a solid foundation for the Level 2 course. I learned a lot and enjoyed the style and method of teaching!

The class was a little slow for me, but I had heard of the preterito perfecto before this course.

Awesome course - but could do with a few minor improvements hence the 4/5 stars. The classes largely cover material in the text and are a little too lecture driven for my liking. In my opinion the fastest gains when building and using new vocabulary come from real interactions and conversation. 90% of each class involves the teacher speaking, explaining material from the book. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on spending time to work on students pronunciation and vocabulary recall in real conversations.

Very good class. Learned and understood much more Spanish than I thought I would. Very pleasant atmosphere with people who are very helpful. Hope to continue and become fluent in this language

I started at Level 2, based on the placement test, but found I had to get the Level 1 workbook and catch up at the same time! Fortunately I had the time to rise to the challenge, and it was great fun. I am now signed up for Level 3 and looking forward to more speaking exercises in class. If you make the commitment to study you can really progress here. The classes are small, the teachers and staff are great, and they offer a flexible make-up schedule.
