Online was a great way to learn on the go. We mostly went over imperfect tense and had conversations in Spanish. I could see and hear the two other students as well as the instructor. Any awkwardness was due occasionally to the BlueJean.com app connection.

The content of the class (level 3) was very usual overall in understanding the imperfect tense and other grammar rules such as por vs para. I would say that this class should support a person's learning process, and that if someone is planning to take the class (or any level class) they should plan to be working on Spanish outside the classroom as well- to truly begin to grasp the language.

This level was particularly difficult for me, as I felt like this was the point at which my brain had a harder time digesting the material of the class and the ones before. Having the entire class taught in spanish both verbally and in the workbooks kicked it up a notch as well. Our instructor, as always, was extremely patient with all of us. This is the main reason why I love taking classes at Berges... it gives you that ability to ask as many questions as necessary and it also provides context you won't get from online courses (e.g. spanish idioms - and which english idioms do not translate, slang that was heard but we didn't know it was slang, etc.). I definitely plan on taking all levels.

The book is easy to carry and the content is informative. The activities are challenging but in a helpful way that encourages learning.

I thought the course covered the right amount of material. The pace is pretty fast for someone learning the material for the first time, but it's a review for me so it worked pretty well. The instructor was humorous and personable. However, what I didn't enjoy was spending 60 minutes out of 90 to listen to the rest of the students talk about their weekends or respond to their homework assignments. A good number of students spoke at a very basic level and did not belong in Level 3. So we spent a lot of time correcting Level 1-type mistakes. While the class was helpful, I feel my time would be better invested in another way.

I love how casual the course is yet still focused on helping you learn. The instructors are so personable and really great!

The course focused on The Imperfect Tense, but included a number of other important topics. It is chock full of content and each week's class is demanding yet very satisfying if you keep up with the workbook and homework.

The class was excellent. It was my third class with Edgardo, and each class was great. I learned a lot and it was fun.

I like the book a lot. I felt the explanations were very clear and easy to remember. I felt the class moved a little slowly and wanted more speaking time.

This was my second class at Berges and with Jennifer and once again I was very pleased. I find the pace manageable, the class time is well organized, and Jennifer's teaching skills are great.

The course was terrific, introduced the use of the (verb) imperfect tense, and was geared towards expanding vocabulary and applying the rules and nuances of Spanish grammar. This was a very valuable course in increasing understanding of how to put sentences together.

Great course. The instructor, Nicolas, was great at getting us engaged in the material, and at helping us get comfortable with conversing in Spanish. I really looked forward to my class each week, because it was actually fun!

I learned so much. I plan to continue on with Level 4 as soon as I find some time in my schedule. I like the way the books are organized, and plan to study those to keep my knowledge fresh.

Loved the class- I struggle to hear the language and think students should talk to each other in Spanish more in structured conversation
