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!

The material itself was extremely challenging and added on to the prior 4 levels almost too much. But with Nicolás help we learned, we laughed and we made it through.
Now review and on to basic conversation.

The course was well organized and well presented. I understood when to us subjunctive verb tense for the first time.

The Level 5 course with Rolando was excellent. Covered a lot of material but was well organized and understandable. Many of the classes involved conversation practice and skills. Would recommend this course highly.

I did levels 1-5 at Berges and all of them were great! The textbook provided is full of knowledge to refer back to and they teach you a lot. Definitely feel like I got what I paid for, learned a lot, and enjoyed my instructor (Alan) and the class as a whole!

This course is difficult but in a good way...it is level 5, after all. There's a lot to learn but with constant practice, repetition, and conversation, I feel I am on my way to mastering Spanish.

This class addresses the subjunctive, the imperative and other verb tenses. If you're not into grammar, it's probably not for you. But it's such an important part of speaking the language properly, I found it quite valuable. We would begin with some brief conversation and then go through a section in the workbook. Nelson assigned homework each week and we went through our answers the following week. I learned a lot in the class. If I have one minor criticism, it's that there's a lot of ground to cover and I didn't feel quite sure that I had mastered the material by the end. There are a lot of verb tenses flying around and you have to work outside the class to keep learning. I had to do a little searching to find places where I could practice the tenses.
