My teacher was great. Classmates were great. The material though I felt could be explained a little better and like many other people I think that there was a lot of information. You have every tense you have ever learned in the subjunctive whereas the other levels it was one tense at a time. The subjunctive has it's own set of tenses so I am not saying that it was troublesome to keep in mind the previous tenses we learned. I am saying that the subjunctive has its own version of present, preterit, etc. and that was a lot of information to memorize. I think i would combine level 2 and 3 together or 1 and 2 to space out level 5.

Course is good - wish that it was spaced out a bit more (pace is fast)

I can't think of a better way to learn the fundamentals of Spanish grammar than in the kind of environment Berges provides: small classes, great tutors, and plenty of homework. There are areas in which they could improve: I found some of the grammar lessons in the textbook less thorough than equivalents I found online (spanishdict.com is a good comparison point), and I wish they would facilitate a forum or some other means for students to connect outside of class. But these concerns aside, I've derived huge benefit from my Berges classes, and plan to recommend them to any friends who are at a similar stage in their Spanish journey.

The course was very interesting and educational at the same time. I have learned a lot.

Level 5 was interesting. Topic presented well in a relaxed and engaged environment.

This course was hardly advanced spanish speaking students. The teacher, Nelson, was phenomenal but the students held me back from really learning to speak at an advanced level.

Me parace que las clases fueron muy utilices durante 10 semanas. Yo he aprendido mucho sobre las reglas de español, gracias a mi maestro. Tenia dos en total que me he enseño un monton de conocimiento en español. The classes were great and you have a lot of time to practice.

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!
