I've been very happy with the format of the lessons and the instruction. Each lesson is easy to understand and the homework reinforces what was taught. I enjoy the classes and the interaction with students from all around the world.

I’m currently taking the beginner level at Berges Institute, and I’m really enjoying it so far. The level is suitable for beginners and the lessons are easy to follow, while still challenging you to learn and practise new vocabulary and grammar. I

This level of Spanish is very good for beginners although I do feel more time is needed for the lesson. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with the lessons.

So far covered a lot of ground. It’s very thorough and teacher is good. Sometimes finding it tricky to recall vocabulary and find it in the lessons. It’s a good starting point

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.

Do I need to keep my camera on?

Yes. Classes are live and interactive. Your instructor and classmates need to see you, just as you see them.

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.
