Reviews from our students
Maureen Lewis
This was a fantastic way to learn beginning spanish. The virtual class format was interactive, the course material well done and easy to understand. In particular, Felipe, the instructor was outstanding. Highly recommend this course.
My only suggestion would be a 2X/week course format (same week duration) to enable students to absorb the fairly aggressive amount of material better and to enable more speaking in spanish opportunity.

The classes are both informative and open for questions and further elaboration if something is a little confusing. My Teacher Felipe is both patient and knowledgable. The homework is challenging but has taught me a lot. I am truly enjoying the class.
Mucho Gracias!!!

This course is great for a beginner. Gloria is an amazing teacher that is patient with her students while also being demanding enough of us to make us learn.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Spanish with Berges?
Most students become conversational after completing five levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).
I've never studied Spanish before. Is this right for me?
Yes! We designed our Beginners level specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.
Will I be embarrassed in class as a beginner?
No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our instructors create a supportive environment where making mistakes is part of learning.
How is this different from Spanish apps?
We teach grammar rules first, then practice. Apps make you guess patterns. Our method is faster for adults.
Do you teach Castilian or Latin American Spanish?
Spanish is one language with regional differences (mostly accent and a handful of everyday words). We teach standard Spanish, so what you learn works wherever Spanish is spoken.
Are classes recorded?
No. Classes are live only, which protects everyone's privacy and keeps students comfortable speaking up.
How old do I need to be to enroll?
Our classes are for adults. If you're 16 or 17, you can enroll as long as a parent or legal guardian accepts our terms on your behalf.
