The course is excellent. The material builds in a way that it can be processed, practiced, learned.

I loved the level 3 course I took! Rolando was an excellent instructor. I really learned so much, in part, because the course was very focused on conversation.

This course was perfectly paced to be challenging but doable. I enjoyed the emphasis on conversation and unrehearsed discussion. Julia was helpful, informative and fun.

I really enjoyed this class. The grammatical materials are starting to get more dense with this level, but I learned a lot and am gradually 'getting' Spanish.

Great course! Nicholas is a terrific teacher. His emphasis on speaking and actually using the concepts we're learning is super helpful. I am waiting to take Level 4 until I can take it with him!

The level 3 course is 10 classes, 90 minutes each class, total of 15 hours. It’s almost entirely in Spanish but some English for clarification when needed. Nicholas was a delight. He’s an excellent teacher and clearly loves teaching! The class varied in size but was usually 4 students so lots of personal attention. I liked the non scripted candid conversations where we each try to speak with some fluency at the beginning of each class (despite asking Nicolas for words in Spanish to help us!) My only complaint is that I would like more examples/homework to practice each new item we learned more thoroughly. There is a great and easy book Berges has which is used as the core guide of the program but I would love an online login to get more practice even. Berges doesn’t currently offer this. I have complemented my studies with Duolingo and other Spanish language radio etc. I’m looking forward to Level 4 with Nicolas again (of course!) i highly recommend this Spanish language institute.

It was a great course. Maria explained all the grammar thoroughly and added many vocabulary words. She gave us time to conversate on a variety of topics.

The Berges institute is an awesome institute, well organized, flexible, and friendly. The same goes for the class. Very nice, professional instructor who keeps the class fun and engaging at all times. I learnt so much in this class and look forward to the next. Keep up the good work!

Nelson brings a sense of humor and imagination to every class. He provides plenty of opportunities for conversation and interaction with fellow classmates, creating a congenial, relaxed atmosphere. A heavy dose of grammar assists the learning process, along with regular homework. It is a thoughtful system and Nelson is a great teacher.

I really enjoyed the class, and Alexandra is a wonderful teacher. My one difficulty was that we went over the homework so quickly that I often wasn’t able to correct my mistakes.

I really liked it, just wish we used all the class time for practice (often the class would finish early and that time could be used for more practice). But overall positive.
