Spanish classes in Cedar Park

This course was what I'd hoped for and then some. I have difficulty learning foreign languages, but happily, this technique and this teacher suit me and I'm enrolling in Part 2. Julia is a wonderful teacher. She explains grammatical points clearly. She is patient and kind and handily involves the students in conversation with one another. I especially appreciate the points she makes about how something is said in Mexico v. in Spain or even in certain other Latin American countries. I enrolled in her course because my future extended family is Mexican and it was important to attune my ear to the Mexican dialect, so these explanations are really useful. So why four stars and not five? Three reasons: 1. There's no in-person option yet--and I understand that it's not possible yet, but being in person would ease conversation and build an esprit de corps amongst students. 2. I wish you used Zoom instead of BlueJeans. Zoom is just a better platform. Hope you'll consider changing. 3. I wish there was more written homework along with video components so that students could respond to Spanish spoken at conversational speed. But maybe that's to come in the more advanced modules. Looking forward to the past tense. Many thanks.

I came into the class with decent amount of memory from 9 years of classes from middle school to high school. However, without continued practice over the 30 years since, I lost a lot. The class as helpful with reintroducing vocabulary; verb conjugation; definitives; sentence structure. I learned why sentence structure existed as opposed to how it was taught in school which was "it is what it is. that is the rule." Attending this class showed me where I have used Spanish incorrectly. Attending online during the pandemic was amazing, but didn't leave opportunity for conversations/interacting between classmates and teacher.

it was not that helpful as a beginner.

I loved the pace of the class. It zipped along and we covered a lot of ground in a short time. Nelson was fantastic and kept it moving with great energy.

Excellent course with an exceptional teacher.

I really liked the course I took through Berges. It made me feel like I had a better base level of understanding the present tense and certain verbs we use in the language over and over again. My instructor Karen was a great teacher and was so patient with us throughout the course.
