Spanish classes in Binghamton

Loved the course, I've had previous Spanish classes but a long time ago. I took this class as a refresher because I knew that I forgot some of the finer grammar points. About two classes in we already covered something I was doing incorrectly. I also loved Juan Carlos' teaching style. He spoke a lot of extra Spanish to help get us accustomed to hearing it (ex: page numbers) this is a beginner class so he would also make sure to say it in English. He also put a lot of emphasis on students practicing speaking. That's my weakest point so I definitely appreciated the extra practice. I plan on taking as many classes with him as I can.

It was a good course. I felt like some of the lessons contained so much information they should have maybe been split into two classes but I understand the need to get through a certain amount of content.

This course is about learning the fundamentals of the language, not just popular phrases. It's great for someone wanting to truly learn the language. It is fast paced and there is a lot to remember, but Rolando was engaging, explained things concisely and was patient helping students work through stuff.

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.

I enjoyed this class very much. I took Spanish in high school and I feel as if I learned more in the 10 weeks I took this class than I did throughout the first year of Spanish. It was accessible location wise, the homework was not too excessive, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning in the class. The instructor was easy to ask questions to and always helpful. I also appreciated the seamless way the course shifted to online learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. I will be taking Beginner's Level 2 with the same instructor and hope to stay with the institute for a while.

I enjoyed the combination of written homework, spoken words and the classroom community whether in person or online!
