Very thorough course covers everything you need to build a sting foundation to build upon, only marked it one lees star as I think for people who really have no knowledge of Spanish prior to taking the class it could be overwhelming as there is a lot to remember…
I think my tutor Rolando González is great!

Lessons started promptly every week. Nelson our tutor, was excellent and very patient with us. He is obviously a very experienced tutor and explained everything very clearly. He used humour to relax us during lessons which was great. Communication from the company was excellent with weekly email reminders of our lessons (with links to join online) and homework emails also. The course came with 10 units of resources to follow and these were very comprehensive teaching us the basics of grammar, verb endings and vocabulary.
The lessons were just right and challenged me enough. It was also nice to ‘meet’ other learners from across the globe during lessons. All in all, the course is excellent value for money for a grounding of the basics of the Spanish language 👍🏻

I am over halfway through the course and am finding the learning style of the teacher very pragmatic and helpful. The socratic style of the classes also keeps you on your toes and gets you speaking a lot of Spanish throughout each class. Teacher is friendly and it's clear he has a passion for the language and for people learning it correctly. The homework is also helpful.

For absolute beginners, this covered a lot of ground. My wife and I both took the course and got a lot out of it. We had a great professor who grew up in Spain, which was perfect for us.

This has been a very good course. I like how they review the homework and we all have a chance to speak and are corrected appropriately. The feedback is very good. The pace is fast but they review everything each lesson which is helping this process.

Great program. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking for a flexible, high-quality online Spanish program. The combination of excellent teachers, supportive learning environment, and convenient scheduling has made my learning experience both effective and enjoyable.

María Chanamé is an absolutely awesome teacher! She explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand and remember. I am so glad that I chose her as a teacher. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because I feel like class 4 should be broken into 2 classes.
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.
Do I need to keep my camera on?
Yes. Classes are live and interactive. Your instructor and classmates need to see you, just as you see them.
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.
