Level 5 was packed with information! It covers the subjective, conditional, and imperative, as well as use of the passive voice. I've read other reviews recommending splitting the content into two courses, which could be useful. Another option might just be to add a few extra sessions so that there is more time to practice. Ed was great. He presented the material clearly and helped us make the connections between the new content and what we had already learned. I now have the foundation to be able to construct any kind of sentence I want in Spanish, but practice outside of class is imperative--there is so much to absorb in this level.

Very well structured review of more advanced Spanish grammatical concepts. Clear and well taught, entertaining classes.

Since I have taken Spanish classes at other places before but not for at least 2 years before I signed up with Berges, I wanted to find something that would serve as a refresher without being too elementary. Level 5 at Berges was the perfect answer!

This level effectively covered the subjunctive, conditional, and a few other small topics. As with past levels, the course moved quickly but without overwhelming. One concern is that a majority of class time was devoted to going over homework answers, with not enough time given to conversation.

Our class was small and conducted almost entirely in Spanish. Despite being a timid Spanish speaker and a challenging curriculum, I looked forward to every class.

The course is intense but well structured. It's a great ending to the entire series.

Before the class at Berges I didn't think I could learn the Subjunctive (it was just so darn confusing to me!). Even the Imperative tense tripped me up. I had taken two previous classes on the Subjunctive (at other schools) and had just about given up. I gave it one more try at Berges and was so glad I did! I found the style of teaching to be extremely clear. I enjoyed the simplicity of the book. It helped me that we went over the answers to the homework in class. I did study quite a bit every week, too, but in the end it was worth it! I may not be perfect with the Subjunctive, but the class helped me a lot!

The structure is pretty good and has a nice mix of review to help remember what was covered previously in level 4. Nicholas was an awesome instructor and I really enjoyed his patient approach and willingness to go outside of the lesson plan of we have specific questions. Great guy and I recommend Berges in general

Level 5 was challenging but Ms. Melissa made it engaging and attainable. I've been very happy at Berges and I'm excited to move on to the conversation classes.

Really enjoyed this class. Eva was patient and helpful (as always). In spite of the difficult subject matter, I feel like I have a decent grasp of the subjunctive, conditional, and imperative. Eva is great.

A tipping point in learning Spanish grammar.

The course covered a fundamental (but confusing) topic but Melissa taught it well so that it was easy to understand. Although it was a bit more challenging to grasp than previous topics, it is essential.

Great lessons by Nelson. He explained the difficult concepts very well and I like that he spoke like a native without slowing down, so that I could really learn how to understand how native Spanish speakers speak. Every class was very enjoyable and always peppered with hands-on learning such as individual examples so we all had our chance to speak.

Nicolás is a great teacher. Students in this class were also terrific. As usual, I really enjoyed taking another class at Berges.

I was repeating the class because I'd missed a few sessions the last time I took it, and now feel far more confident in the subjunctive and conditional tenses. Level 5 does move fast and could likely be split into 2 courses (or a longer one) but was excellent.
