I enjoyed this class very much. I took Spanish in high school and I feel as if I learned more in the 10 weeks I took this class than I did throughout the first year of Spanish. It was accessible location wise, the homework was not too excessive, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning in the class. The instructor was easy to ask questions to and always helpful. I also appreciated the seamless way the course shifted to online learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. I will be taking Beginner's Level 2 with the same instructor and hope to stay with the institute for a while.

I decided to take this course based on the reviews I read online. I was 100% satisfied. I thought that Maria was an excellent teacher, who was always enthusiastic and made learning Spanish so much fun. I would recommend this course to any one who is interested in learning a new language.

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.

So far, I have had a great experience with the Berges Institute and my teacher Claudia! The course for beginners is well paced and small classes allow for lots of conversation practice. Claudia is very patient and covers material thoroughly, practicing key vocab and rules until we understand.

Love the class for our instructor's remarkably clear grammatical instructions, sophisticated cultural references, and wonderful lightness in the exchanges.
