Spanish classes in Alameda

The material is similar to any you might encounter in a typical language course but the instructor(s) really were the ones to make it come alive. In the beginning, before the group and the instructor got to know each other well, a lot of time was spent going over the correct answers to the homework, which reduced the amount of time to focus ahead if homework concepts were clear with the whole group. As time progressed and the instructor got to know the group better, the homework review became more dynamic and engaging. I think this was more due to the structure of the lesson than the instructor. The book and other course material was very good and the support and flexibility from the organization was great.

This was my first time ever taking Spanish and I loved it.

A fantastic starter course. I learned a significant amount!

An amazing class with just enough content to engage in basic conversation without feeling overwhelmed

Some teachers did a better job of speaking more in Spanish than others. But consistency is good amongst courses.

Even though I tested into the second level, I saw that the first level was on groupon and decided to use the discounted price as a way to gauge if I like the school and teaching style before committing to the full price and ongoing classes. Berges Institute was great and my instructor Alejandro was wonderful as well. I enjoyed that vocabulary was mostly on students to learn and class focused on grammar and practicing conversational Spanish.
