Relatively straight forward for a beginner class.

Maria has a lovely personality and is very engaging. I have a background in language teaching (ESL) and I found the structure of the book unclear. Maria did a good job in clarifying it all, but I think more effort should be put into improving the workbook.

I am very pleasantly surprised by how much Spanish I learned in the Beginner course. For a few years, I have tried to learn Spanish from books and software, but I learned more in these 10 weeks at Berges. Andres Lopez is an outstanding teacher and the course material was very good.

The course was well organized with set class times, structure, homework, and in-class discussion. I enjoyed everyone being included in the verbal practice as well as the instructor allowing us to ask detailed questions. We were mostly a group of very interested and involved “over-achievers” ☺️, and I really appreciated Ian’s pleasant and patient demeanor in class. Highly recommend the online classes!

I thought the course was great! I had taken Spanish in grade school as a child so I was starting for the basics. You learn a lot of foundational information in the class but its really up to you to practice what you’ve learned during the week so that it sticks.
