Very helpful way to begin your learn Spanish. Nice instructors. Very convenient to be able to reschedule classes when schedule conflicts arise. I look forward to continuing my studies here. Also the homework is very helpful.

For those beginners like me, I recommend that you should take this course until the end. For my experience, this helped me a lot starting from the basics of Spanish and how to use it. Teachers were very nice and approachable.
Mary Bird
This is a very well organized and effective course. It is fast paced and requires a significant time investment for necessary memorization. The book and written exercises work well for retention and seeing what you don’t know. Our instructor, Rolando, was excellent. He kept our attention and explained things well. Highly recommend.
Helene Ciappetta
This beginner course was better than an introduction. I feel ready for my vacation with an overview of basic language. The instructor was so prepared and patient. Thank you for this opportunity at such a reasonable price.
Nicole Maher
I am loving the class and am learning so much! And the teacher is really fun! I have tried online apps before but that format is helping me truly learn. Finally!
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.
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.
