Our Level 3 course masterfully breaks down complex linguistic shifts, specifically navigating the nuances between the pretérito imperfecto and the preterite tense. It also introduces critical structural concepts like direct object pronouns and forming the future tense using ir, making intimidating topics accessible to everyone. While this is a demanding course, an engaging and fun instructor helps make these challenging concepts much easier to grasp.

These classes are very challenging for me, in part because I don't have enough time to study every day, which I think would make everything "stick" much better. But I am learning quite a lot and I certainly feel like I am progressing. The teacher (Nelson) is simply amazing. I plan to keep going with Berges Institute and hopefully will find more time to study.

This course is exactly what I was looking for. I was using various language apps but felt that I needed something more structured. I also wanted a venue where I could interact with other people who were also at my level of Spanish.
I like that Berges offered a short placement test and then recommended the appropriate level for me. Too many other times language apps have me start over with counting to ten, and learning basic vocabulary. Berges allowed me to start at an appropriate level and learn new concepts right away.
The Level 3 classes are great. I am learning a lot each week and am feeling much more confident in the use of the various past tenses. The homework builds on the previous material as well as the latest concepts.
The course is great and I plan to continue with the next level.

This is the second course that I have taken with Gloria Alveal. She is a great teacher and I highly recommend her. Her lessons are thorough and understandable. She gives all of the students the opportunity to participate in the class, regardless of their level or ability to speak Spanish. Gloria follows the materials provided by Berges to insure that the content is covered, but she still makes time for questions and discussion. Great teacher, great class!

This was a very helpful level and it is necessary for understanding the differences between preterite and imperfect. Gloria is a great teacher and I feel like I am getting more conversational due to her teaching.

This was a really useful level that built on Level 2 with some important tenses etc. All of the material was brought to life each week, in a very entertaining way, by Rolando.

This level introduced more conversation and practicing some of the concepts that will make it possible to really communicate at a slightly more advanced level. Being able to distinguish between two types of past tense forms is an important aspect of the language. Furthermore, learning a few of the grammar concepts, more in depth for example, the different applications of "por" and "para" as well as specific verbs in various scenarios, really gave me the feeling of being more than just a beginner in Spanish.

The format of the classes has allowed me to master each week’s material while working full time. Monica is a wonderful instructor who really matches my learning style.

Your teaching method is wonderful. However level 3 has too much to study and comprehend.

Both instructors that I've learned from at this Level are extremely professional, well-prepared and fun to learn from. The material at this level is easy to digest and learn. I'm looking for ward to Level 4.

The class is a little challenging but the teacher is very good and very supportive.
The course for the material alone is great value.
The interactive nature of the class and the other students make it work very well.
Its a wonderful community.

I have tried classes in Level 3 with a variety of instructors. All were good instructors and two were excellent instructors. The course is well organized and and I learned a lot. I look forward to starting Level 4 and joining a conversation class.

I have now attended 12 classes with Berges (I think) and I have found them to be very useful. The benefit goes well beyond the material converted, which of course I could read for myself. The power of this course is the combination of a systematic approach to covering the material combined with the opportunity, in each class, to both listen to and speak Spanish. This is incredibly helpful!
The teachers are all very good, the classes are small, and each class is impactful. In addition, I think the pricing is very reasonable. I’m really glad to have discovered the Berges Institute!
