I liked the pace of the learning, and the increase in difficulty. It was challenging but manageable. The class was small enough where I got enough individual attention.

Monika was great. Amazing teacher, patient and personable with a sense of humor.. However, I was disappointed in level 5. It was a difficult level and I felt it should have been divided into two for level 5 and 6. I felt the students I was with sounded the same as me. I feel to be more fluent, there should be more practice and less content at each lesson. I was happy with levels 1-4 but 5 was disappointing.

Course had a patient and well-prepared teacher (Mónica), but too much material was crammed into 10 weeks, making it very hard to learn.

As I have written before, Nicolas is a fantastic and engaged instructor. Here are my thoughts about Level 5. First of all, I would recommend that students be strongly urged to take a conversation class after Level 4 so that they can master - or at least have more practice with - the indicative in its various forms before jumping into the subjunctive. I also think that Level 5 has so much new - and difficult material - in it that Berges should consider spreading out the material a bit more by creating a sixth level. At the very least, Berges should consider deleting some of the reading comprehension selections and substituting more exercises/homework on the subjunctive and conditional.

Having completed level 5 I feel like I have a solid grounding in the essentials of Spanish grammar, and I'm ready to move on to a focus on vocabulary building and conversation. The material was presented clearly and explained well during class time.

I loved this course. I really needed to brush up on my Spanish grammar and this course did it for me. It was an excellent review for me.

Too much complex material to effectively learn in 10 weeks, on top of all the concepts we haven't solidified from previous courses.

I have learned so much with Berges. Level 5 is very fast paced! I wish there was more time to practice together in class as the content needs a lot of revision.

Level 5 is definitely challenging. I would be open for this to be a 12-15 week course where we can spend more time on the subjunctive, specifically the subjunctive imperfect and the compound tenses.

The book accompanying this class offers brief explanations of advanced, complex Spanish grammar. but could be improved if the book contained more examples and more exercises.

I just finished level 5 with Gloria and I'm SO grateful for my experience! Gloria is such an amazing teacher - she's patient, kind, organized, prepared, and gives really great explanations. Her classes are almost 100% in Spanish and even if something isn't clear, she finds a way to break it down to make you can understand it. Level 5 moves really fast and this is my second time completing the course, and I still feel like I need a better grasp on it - it's a lot of material. But practice makes perfect!

Word nerd paradise. Edgardo freely shared etymology, alternate examples and linguist knowledge whenever appropriate.

This course was excellent for me, as I benefited greatly from learning the Spanish language and I will continue to register in the next courses of this institute

The course was great. I feel like I have learned so much and can actually speak Spanish. Many people have asked and commented about it. I always recommend Bergers and know folks who have signed up for the course after I tell them how the Graf method works and the books are structured.

I really appreciated Sylvana´s friendly and motivating way of teaching. She succeeded in creating a stress free environment for the students and was able to encourage us on every step we took. She enabled me, a visually impaired student, to feel comfortable during all the lessons. I can highly recommend her.

Level 5 has a lot of material and moves rapidly. It is organized well and is a good selection of material covering the more advanced tenses.

It was a LOT to learn. I need to practice more tenses and work on my vocabulary. The course has so much information and you need to do the work outside of classroom time.

This course covers the final complex grammar concepts from conditional to subjunctive in a clear and scaffolded manner. The class moves fast, but necessarily so! Do the homework, practice during the week, and you will be amazed at how much you learn over the 10 weeks!
