I learned a lot in this course and really enjoyed it! There were 2 weeks during which our instructor Rolando was out, and we were rescheduled with a substitute instructor (she was Peruvian, I can’t remember her name but I think it may have been Maria), and I really didn’t find her teaching style effective, it felt like a bit of a wasted 2 weeks unfortunately. She was not very personable and the classes felt awkward and unhelpful. I would have preferred the course to just have been extended 2 weeks (and we skip classes the 2 weeks Rolando was out) or that we have the option ahead of time to choose to join a different class so we could select the instructor.

I ended up taking this course twice because the first time I had to miss a few classes and the concepts (especially pronouns) were challenging for me. My second time around was much better!

I love the Berges Method - I am moving on now to level 5 and feel I have a truly solid foundation of the language to jump off of from here.
It's straight forward and moves in segments, while not becoming to overwhelming at the same time as building on previous topics.
Highly recommend for new Spanish speakers as well as those looking for a refresh.

Level 4 really took me out of my comfort zone, especially the use of the direct and indirect object pronouns and the tiempo compuesto. Rolando is very skilled at getting the class to speak and he is great at letting us struggle and make mistakes and then guide us back. This is my 2nd course with him and I've signed up for Level 5!

Due to my inconsistent schedule, I took classes not only with Maria, but also with Andres, Dariana, and Edgardo. All of them were excellent. Every teacher had an impressive ability to explain grammatical concepts in both languages, and to understand students' misunderstandings. In addition to covering the material in the book, they used remaining time for very useful and challenging practice. I really got a lot out of this course and will definitely be continuing with Berges.

I like the methodical method of the Berges levels. I feel like I'm building my language skills successfully.

Level 4 was noticeably more challenging than Levels 2 and 3 because the concepts are a bit more complicated, but still very enjoyable. I felt like I learned a lot and I'm looking forward to Level 5!

The curriculum length / new material to homework connection and just everything about these classes is really well thought out.

Challenging in the best of ways, the course builds logically on the previous Berges levels. This level focused appropriately on the more difficult content, trusting that the student will understand the more straightforward parts, such as the future tense.

I would give it a 5, being the most.
I am too ignorant at this point - in the overall - to review the value of a course. I just know that everything I have learned in this course and in the earlier levels seems new to me and gives me a much better understanding of WHY a sentence structure is the way it is and how to put them together to express what I am trying to say.

This course was always challenging and always fun! I am amazed to see how much ground we covered in just 10 weeks.
