Some teachers did a better job of speaking more in Spanish than others. But consistency is good amongst courses.

I have recently completed Level 1 for Beginners. I am very happy with the courses so far and feel I have learned a lot. I was able to have simple conversations with other students in class using the words we had learned. I need more to be able to actually converse with friends or strangers so I have already signed up for Level 2. I am older so learning something new does not come as fast as when I was younger.

I love the self paced aspect of learning through Berges Institute. There are plenty of class options during the week that will fit a flexible work schedule. I have enjoyed meeting and getting to know the teachers as well as learning from them.

I found beginners course very helpful, so much so that I registered for level two before it was over. The instructor was approachable and helpful. The structure in which it was taught was smart.

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.
