The course was very interactive and beneficial. Nelson created a fun environment where we felt comfortable trying our best, even if that was not the correct answer :)

The material from Berges is well structured and scaffolds on itself such that you are consistently making progress forward. Their instructors are personable, knowledgeable and dependable.

The teacher was amazing. I think that there was too much information to be covered in such a short time. We need more time to practice the concepts learned before we can move on to new ones.

Learning to use the Spanish past tense. I had lessons with Ms. Gloria Alveal. She was a dedicated teacher, during her lectures she provides visual presentation of pictures, creates sentence examples for simplification of meaning, and a livelier group interaction. It is a pleasure learning with her.

My only issue was in Unit 6 we only did numbers and had a lot of time left over. For the rest of the session we did reflexive verbs. (We had to change classes for that day and Rolando was not our instructor). Then Units 7 and 8 were jam-packed with new concepts. I just wondered why some of the concepts from Unit 7 weren't put into Unit 6 so 7 and 8 weren't so overloaded. I felt that they had so much information when 6 did not. Besides that I enjoy taking classes from Berges and have learned so much. I spent 3 months in Mexico recently and the classes really came in handy. I'm looking forward to the 3rd level.

Level 2 is great for starting to connect the dots of the language. I found that on holiday to Colombia, I was able to communicate with and understand people in basic conversation, as well as have enough basic knowledge to pick up on context clues. I really like that it reiterates what we learned in Level 1 - I am a very logical learner and the course formula is very logical.

Level 2 covers a lot of topics while still focusing on the past tense. I think the course is designed to go at a slower pace to give students a chance to memorize and practice between classes.

I really like how the courses are laid out. It feels like a natural progression of words you would want to say. The preterite allows me to speak in the past tense, and I'm excited about learning more.

I like how the classes provide a foundation of building blocks to truly learn Spanish.

This course was excellent. At first, I didn't think it would take 15 hours of classroom plus homework time to learn the simple past tense but I am happy we spent that much time on it. I have tried to learn it before but it has never stuck. This time it did. The written materials were very helpful both in the classroom and while doing homework. These materials are efficient as they include enough examples to understand regular patterns plus carefully selected irregular conditions and patterns to promote learning without overwhelming the students. In my life I have studied many foreign languages using a variety of learning modes. I found this course very effective.

This is a good course for learning this specific tense along with lots of vocab.

The course thus far seems to be quite intensive and the material is well presented. I would like to see more communication in Spanish but it seems that some students aren't comfortable doing so and the instructor copes with it well.
