Reviews from our students
Alyssa Griffin
Berges Institute provides a great service for adult learners who need to learn a language from the very beginning at their own pace and around their own schedule. The first course provided a very solid foundation!
Nivya Sharma
I am very impressed with the course structure and competence of Instructors. The classes were super interactive. Being a newbie, I started this course on a nervous and self-doubting note. However, I feel very confident speaking basic Spanish after finishing it. Highly recommended for anyone willing to embark on this journey!

Despite joining Berges in November 2023, I haven’t managed to get past the first lesson due to scheduling issues with work and home. I’m trying again, starting July 1st. My classes will be different times and instructors in an event to work around my crazy schedule.
So far I like it, especially being able to watch a video of each class….that’s very helpful. I pray I’m able to complete level one without stopping. Sorry I wasn’t able to give more of a detailed description of the course and instructors.

The Spanish beginner's course was very well organized and covered all that's needed for a beginner to learn.
The instructor Juan Carlos was very good at teaching and helped making us understand and reviewing the materials on weekly bases.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Spanish with this method?
Most students become conversational after completing 5 levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).
I've never studied Spanish before. Is this right for me?
Yes! Most of our students are complete beginners. We designed our Beginners classes specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.
Will I be embarrassed in class as a beginner?
No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our teachers 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, just like any other language. We teach standard Spanish, so what you learn works wherever it's spoken.
Are classes recorded?
No. Classes are live and not recorded, for student privacy and to keep speaking practice pressure-free.
How old do I need to be to enroll?
Our classes are for adults. The one exception: if you're 16 or 17, you can enroll as long as a parent or legal guardian accepts our terms on your behalf.
Can I change levels?
Yes! Just send us a message through our Help Center.
