Spanish classes in Binghamton

I had a very good experience with my first Berges Institute course. I liked how the course was organized, the clear topics and focus provided through the pdf textbook and the regular (weekly) class meetings.

The course was enjoyable and helpful in keeping me focused. At times it went too quickly, but Edgardo was always willing to clear up misunderstandings. I felt motivated and confident enough to register for the next level.

Julia is great. The curriculum works well. I would have valued a bit more learning around everyday phrases and some basic aids to communicating, such as what I believe is a very commonly used verb quierer and tips like tener que. I am now learning about these in a different format that I am trying, which is more about learning to speak and comprehend, quickly. I suggest including the key verbs --- with reflexives, of course, we need llarmarse and levantarse, but do we really need to prioritize verbs for shaving and putting on makeup? Nonetheless, I am using what I learned with Julia a lot, and I would recommend to anyone the foundational benefits provided by Berges and Julia.

Course was easy to follow and taught well. Homework was just enough to understand the concepts.

Nelson made the course engaging and challenging. The pace was ideal and I consistently felt like I was making progress.

I like how the instructor comes up with fun and interactive ways for us to learn. It doesn’t seem to be directly from the book - much more innovative and interesting.
