This course was excellent. As a career technical instructor, I appreciate effective course materials and talented instructors. This course had both. It is for absolute beginners but I came in with a fair amount of proficiency in Spanish. Despite my prior knowledge, Juan Carlos taught me many nuances I did not already know. He was also able to shore up some weaknesses in my basic Spanish. Now, I have even greater confidence in conversation with Spanish-speaking people.

I really like the immediate feedback that is available for the video classes. So far, I have enjoyed the format of the classes and the progress I've made in speaking Spanish.

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'm enjoying the course so far. I am very busy, and the course has to this point presented sufficient material to be challenging, while not giving me so much information that I fall behind due to my other obligations.

Although I am at a bit of a higher level, I thought it necessary to start from scratch. This level is a self assessment to see how much I know. I've also decided to take 3 of the same class for the sake of repetition and enforcing the lesson. All classes are great at helping me to achieve my goal.

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.
