This is now the 5th course I have done with Berges and I still love my classes.

Personally I think there was too much material in level 5. Would love to cover all that info in two levels instead.

Level 5 covers a lot of territory, filling the gaps in your Spanish grammar knowledge. The course content was good, though every student was, at times, overwhelmed by the pace of the class. I recommend this Level 5 class, especially for students like me who have already taken some lower level Berges classes.

This level was bit confusing but my instructor has been great. I’m looking forward to the next class with Alejandro.

This course covered tons of information, but Jennifer introduced each topic clearly, gave great examples, and engaged each student to reinforce the grammar. I learned so much in this class; I'm looking forward to trying a conversation class to keep practicing.

The course was very focused on covering particular grammar topics and kept to schedule. I did think some of the longer writing exercises were repetitive and could have been constructed better.

The class did well in providing an explanation of grammar rules and tenses, but there was no practice of conversational skills or much writing exercises that we went over.

Great class! I love the book that we use, I think it does an excellent job in breaking down the subjunctive

The structure of the lessons were great because it helped me understand the grammar. Rolando was an awesome instructor and I felt like there was a great balance between learning grammar and practicing conversation skills.

Rolando and Eva both did a great job teaching complicated grammar. Lessons were clear and entertaining. My only complaint is the classroom, I think it was called z room. Awkward shape, packed, stuffy and hot.

I learned so much from this class. Understanding the subjunctive has really helped me to be more confident with Spanish, and Nicolas is an amazing teacher!

Berges is a great place to dive into Spanish learning no matter your starting skill level. I have found the coursebooks to present information very clearly with thoughtful sequence, and friendly instructors provide many access points into learning with ample time to practice speaking skills through conversation. I took a few Berges courses after some informal study on various language learning apps, and my comprehension and fluency have skyrocketed thanks to the methodical grammar instruction and regular, structured conversation. Online placement testing and registration are super user-friendly with plentiful course time and date options to fit any type of schedule. I can't wait to continue my study with additional conversation classes soon!

This course throws a lot of tenses at you. It was the first level where I felt very challenged to keep all of the information in my brain! But, after this class, I have the tools I need to figure out the meaning of all the sentences I read!

great course. maybe a bit too much to cover though compared to previous levels (I have taken all 5 levels and felt like i understood things much better during levels 1-4...level 5 just seemed to be alot really quickly)... wondering if you could move a section from level 5 to level 4 to even things out...

This course was exactly what I was looking for in terms of mastering the grammar of imperative, subjunctive, and conditional tenses. The lessons were super clear, and I loved being able to practice conversation with the class.

This is my second course with the Berges Institute, and I really learned a lot. My instructor was personable but also quick to correct me and other students in a way that showed he really wanted us to master the language. I'd definitely recommend it!

The Berges method is the best! I have tried continuing ed in both Chicago and Huntington with 5 different instructors. None had a plan, many just had us read a book. I spent so much time translating that I developed tennis elbow.

Level 5 was challenging and engaging. Having forgotten much of what I learned in high school many years ago, this was an excellent course to re-introduce me to the subjunctive and more complex sentence structures.
