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 thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt like I made great progress over the 10 lessons. I appreciated the small group size which always allowed for lots of interaction with fellow students and the opportunity to ask as many questions as needed of the instructor. I have tried learning on apps like Duolingo before and while that route is obviously less expensive, I did not find it to be nearly as effective as Berges. I'm looking forward to continuing with Unit 2!

I learned a ton in my Spanish 1 beginner course. Yuli was a fantastic teacher.

Berges Institute provides a great service for adult learners who need to learn a language from the very beginning at their own pace and around their own schedule. The first course provided a very solid foundation!

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.

Do you teach Castilian or Latin American Spanish?

Spanish is one language with regional differences, mostly accent and a handful of everyday words, just like any other language. We teach standard Spanish, so what you learn works wherever it's spoken.

Are classes recorded?

No. Classes are live and not recorded, for student privacy and to keep speaking practice pressure-free.

How old do I need to be to enroll?

Our classes are for adults. The one exception: if you're 16 or 17, you can enroll as long as a parent or legal guardian accepts our terms on your behalf.

Can I change levels?

Yes! Just send us a message through our Help Center.
