Reviews for Level 3: the imperfect tense

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.

Finally making progress in my Spanish studies thanks to Berges!

Love the classes , wish there were more Need Friday classes please

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.

Great course!

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!

This was my third class with Berges and Nicolás as my teacher. I really love his approach and the way the course is structured. I feel like I have a good handle on the material -- for me, it's always conversation that's most difficult. I can't think fast enough to form sentences! In our class, Nicolas spends A LOT of time working with us on conversational skills. I'm giving only four stars this time because I had to take two classes with a different instructor and found the experience very different. One of the most helpful things about the way our class is structured is that we always review the homework first, taking turns reading our answers and addressing any questions we have about it, before we jump into new material. The other instructor reviewed homework assignments toward the end of class and provided much less talking time and interactivity. They basically read us the homework answers and textbook content. Maybe it's just a personal preference. Everything at Berges is so nicely standardized I expected the class flow would be more or less the same regardless of instructor. Still signing up for Level 4!

I enjoyed the course very much. Gloria was a great instructor. She was able to make grammatical examples that I could relate to and apply it. I think the chapters were on point. This was my second time taking Level 3. I think it was a good move and I learn a little bit more than I knew at first.

Level 3 to me has been the turning point of comprehension. As of now this is my 3rd time in level 3 throughout my journey in Berges Institute/ learning Spanish. The instructors have all been very patient as they understand that not everyone learns at the same speed. Time, focus, and due diligence is the key to becoming fluent in conversations, that I'm participating more and more in conversations with muly coworkers whom mostly speak Spanish

This course was awesome. I really feel like the structure and pacing is perfect.

This course was very solid and provided exactly the amount of explanation and practice I needed.

The course has been very helpful to me in learning Spanish grammar.

Enjoyed the course and the learning material.

I thought the course was great! I was wanting to take it to reestablish my skills and the class was a great balance of grammar and conversation, as well as learning cultural parts of the language. After each class I felt more confident in my speaking, listening and comprehension.
