I think it was great that I continued to expand my grammar in Spanish. But the course has almost no emphasis on learning vocabularies.

Great course overall. That said, I didn’t love the mix of topics in 4. The content felt a little random, and that made it was difficult to feel like I was progressing. But it was still a great class.

Solid. The last few weeks felt like we were "running out the clock" - the last couple lessons felt a bit as though they were stretched out to fill time (I say this as a *huge* fan of you guys - the logical focus of the class is wonderful).

Difficult level compared to 1-3 but well covered

I was remiss in not leaving this review after I finished taking Level 3 with Rolando Gonzalez. He is an excellent instructor and I look forward to repeating Level 4 with him. I usually take each level twice so I can proceed with confidence. I am almost 80 (most students are many decades younger) so that for me, this practice is best. I imagine most people don't need to take the class twice. I probably could go on to the next level easily but I love going to classes at Berges and Rolando is so good, engaging, and has a fine sense of humor. Lenore Salazar

Very thorough, fun and interactive! I can feel myself making progress and understanding more over time.

I enjoyed this Level 4 class as much as the previous 3 classes. All the material is presented in a form which promotes understanding. This course also offered ample opportunities for practice.

The class was very good. All students were at a similar level. The teacher was knowledgeable, experienced and had a good sense of humor. So the class moved at a good pace.

This was my second class with professor N. The material was definitely more challenging than level 3 but Alejandro took the time to run us through exercises and drills to really lock it in. Highly recommend.

I started with Berges for Level 1 at the start of the year and have just completed Level 4. The material in this level seemed more complex, though the book does do a good job of explaining these complex topics (direct and indirect object pronouns etc.) The homework was useful as ever in helping practice. I also liked the short stories in the homework - it improved my confidence knowing that I could comprehend most of the text!

I am currently learning Spanish in any way I can including a meetup and investment in books. In reality I needed a structued approach with interaction which Berges provides including a test to gage my success. Well worth the commute from Connecticut.

Great presentation, clear for a student at my level, Mr Navarro is very kind and professional and a great teacher.

The class was well-taught and planned. The text used is excellent. However, the final test is too long, contains trick questions, and some of the answers are debatable. It needs to be rewritten.

Each class started with the opportunity to practice our conversation skills and was then followed by a grammar lesson. Maria was able to make the content very accessible and really deepen my appreciation for and confidence in speaking Spanish. I am looking forward to taking the next level with her.

Good course overall! It is sometimes hard to retain very much when only meeting once a week, but it is still quite useful.

This course was the first post-college Spanish grammar class I have taken. I found it to be challenging but not overly difficult. I believe the grammar topics were well chosen but I think there should have been more drills instead of the time spent reading the workbook aloud.
