The materials and assignments were challenging and helped us really understand the language rules, exceptions and applications. The schedule options and make up classes really helped ensure we didn't miss anything and had the flexibility to participate in classes. I feel like I learned so much over the past several weeks!

Well-structured and informative class. Nelson left shortly after the course began for a paternity leave. We had two different teachers after that. Although both of them did a great job covering for Nelson, their styles were different, and it took me a little while to get use to each teacher. I prefer the same teacher throughout the course if that is possible. I know some things are unavoidable, so I understand occasional substitutes. I became a fan of Silvana towards the end, and I'd take her class again, so there were some positives as well. Thank you.

Alejandro and Alexandra, substitutes, were very good instructors. Class was always interesting, and time passed quickly. I look forward to studying at the next level.

I think the course it good but it moves so fast. It’s seems more geared to people who have a good knowledge of Spanish vs someone who has limited pre-exposure to the language.

This was an excellent course. Rolando is a great teacher. He is clearly highly skilled and knowledgeable. I learned a great deal and am looking forward to Level 5 now!

A thorough treatment of some important grammar items that I found difficult, i.e. pronouns and prepositions, as well as additional verb tenses. I like the homework assignments and the simplified short story texts.

The course was extremely well laid out. Each lesson built on the previous one and by the end of the course I was able to speak and read at a much higher level.

Great course to learn about the intricacies as it relates to direct and indirect objects. This was always a confusing aspect to me about the Spanish language and I feel more confident.

It's a very organized and well-run course. A lot is packed into each 90 minute class.

I love these courses! My Spanish has really been improving quickly, and very naturally as well.

I liked the casualness and especially the small class structure. The ability of the teachers to quickly explain in english, to me was nice because it helped avoid confusion and kept the momentum going. Teacher patience and allowing speech without correcting too often also allows the momentum to continue and helps build confidence.

This course was so impactful to my learning! So many other classes I've taken before focused on speaking only, and I was blown away by how the method Berges uses changed the game entirely for actually building my fluency and confidence. Maria was such a supportive, excellent teacher!

This was the third level I took with Rolando (and starting Level 5 with him on Monday). He is a very good and very patient instructor. The course material is well organized. I’m looking forward to starting conversation after I complete this level.

It was nice to have a review the first couple of classes before diving into new material. The classes themselves along with the homework were more challenging than the final exam

The course is overall very helpful because we go over a lot of concepts and they are explained very well by the instructor. It's also helps that the course follows the book and that the homework also corresponds to the book. I really enjoyed in this level when we had to write and read a story at the end because I feel like it really helped me. The only criticisms I have is that now there's hardly any other students in the class at these higher levels, so you don't hear as many different conversations and as much input as you do with more classmates. The other criticism I have is that I would like it if there was extra optional homework each week that corresponds to what we're learning.

I appreciate the simple methodical approach. Our teacher ( Rolando Gonzales) offers a relaxed friendly , but focussed approach to steering one through the grammatical challenges. I like the fact that we are not swamped with too many new aspects of Spanish at once. Though there was a class around #7 that seemed redundant. I found it helpful to get a lot of homework. Iam glad to continue with Rolando to level 5!
