It is with regret to say that this particular Level 2 class was not as well structured or consistently excellent as the Level 1 class with Julia.

I always look forward to the next class! It's a supportive, warm environment, and we are all learning a lot together! It's especially nice when someone from a previous class shows up in the current class. Basically the class is very effective educationally, but also a nice social experience as well.

Level 2 is much different than level 1. But in a good way. Level 2 really prepares you for speaking more naturally.

Great course. I learned a lot and loved the weekly translation homework. It was helpful being able to put into practice what was learned each week. The textbook PDF that comes with the course is superb. You truly get out what you put in. This was my first course with Berges and ideal for someone who already has a little experience with Spanish.

The course was a great continuation of the information taught in Level 1. I’ve learned more with Berges Institute that I did in high school.

The class helped me so much with my Spanish, especially since it let me craft my own sentences and put me in the mindset of actually using the conjugations I learned. It really helped improve my Spanish!

Level 2 built upon vocabulary introduced in Level 1, and introduced past tense verb changes. The pace was challenging in that there is new information each class, but there is also time to review and practice. The weekly homework is really helpful for me, and María always goes through the homework with us in class, which is helpful in correcting mistakes and recognizing what I need to further review.

First let me say that the test I took to decide where I should be placed in terms of classes was spot on. I was placed in the correct class.
I found the text book to also cover the material that I would need.
Alexandra made the lessons informative , adding little extra hints and vocabulary. She made it fun and applied the lessons to everyday life.

The Level 2 Spanish course covered a lot of topics, and helped me develop a strong foundation of using the past tense. I liked the example conversations, and the homework exercises helped reinforce our lessons. Having a small class size was also a benefit, as everyone had plenty of opportunities to practice speaking.

Learning past tense was difficult, but the homework assignments help reinforce the class lessons.

Really enjoy learning Spanish at Berges Institute; I appreciate the building block approach as I have moved through the first 2 levels and looking forward to the next steps.

I learned a lot of Spanish in the Level 2 course. Julia is an excellent and patient teacher. The remote format works well. I like the slow, gradual pace of the Berges method as it allows the basics to become solidified without rushing to newer, more complex topics.

The course was structured and perfectly paced, which enabled me to review and grasp the material that was covered. It also offered many opportunities to practice and apply what was taught.

Level 2 is definitely picking up the pace after Level 1- but none-the-less satisfying to add another tense. After this course, I am feeling confident in holding conversation about myself, habits, and past events.

This course is great! It really touches in everything snd provides great tips and tricks in the workbook.
The homework each week really helps retain the info. I can’t wait to take all 5 levels!

I enjoyed this course and had a positive experience. I felt the material presented and the pace were carefully considered. Definitely looked forward to my class every week and my instructor did a great job teaching the course.

This was a very good learning experience, especially considering the circumstances. I would imagine everyone is tired of working remotely but the online platform actually worked well for this course, probably because we were a small group (five students). Everyone had lots of time for conversation, which I found to be the most rewarding aspect of the course.

This course was great for me. I liked how it was taught and how my instructor made everyone in the class feel comfortable speaking.

Course two felt like a significant jump from course one and at times I felt overwhelmed. It wasn't until we were reviewing at the end that it all came together for me. Additionally the pacing at times felt imbalanced in terms of how much new material was covered in one class versus others. That said the course was good on balance, subject matter was broken down well, examples and whiteboarding with our instructor was incredibly helpful and I was challenged but not discouraged. Looking forward to course three!
