Reviews from our students

The Berges Institute delivers on all aspects of learning the Spanish language and more. The units are broken up into snack size elements and the homework reflects the weekly materials. I would HIGHLY recommend the program if you are considering (or refreshing) your knowledge of the Spanish language.
The flexibility built into the course structure provides for changing classes and meeting a busy schedule. The sessions are taught by very qualified instructors and the material is consistent from teacher to teacher. The instructor brings his or her flare to each unit.
Silas is the BEST! Sign up for his course, you won't be disappointed.

First and foremost I think Juan Carlos is an excellent teacher. His instruction is clear and concise. He is a pleasure to spend 1.5 Hours with each week.
For me, it would be helpful if we had time to review the homework and to stay on a topic longer than one lesson. While I understand that there are times that one lesson builds upon a previous one, the pace of learning a particular topic seems short
Overall, I really enjoy my classes and plan to continue on and probably retake a level or two

I am on a Berges monthly plan, which allows me to take classes whenever my schedule permits. One of the features I appreciate most is the ability to go back and repeat classes when I need additional practice with more challenging concepts.
The teachers are incredible. My favorites are Juan Carlos Alverez, María Chanamé, Silas Bermudez, and Gloria Alveal. They are knowledgeable, engaging, and make learning enjoyable. It is amazing to be able to choose my instructors!
The website is user friendly and contains everything needed to get started. But I also choose to buy the workbooks on Amazon which I also appreciate. The "Search for Classes" feature makes it easy to find class dates and times, as well as classes taught by my favorite professors.
I have recently advanced to Level 4 and am thoroughly enjoying the program. Berges Institute makes language learning so accessible while maintaining a high standard of excellence. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Spanish in a flexible and effective environment. ¡Muchas gracias!

I am enjoying the class, the text book is very clear and the homework provides great practice. The teacher starts the class with some conversation which I like, and gives a lot of time for practice of new concepts which I also appreciate. Sometimes the teaching of new information is a bit fast, but I’ve found that if I read over the material in the text book before the class, this isn’t a problem. The teacher is friendly and engaging and supportive.
