I loved my class experience with Marian. The flexibility with scheduling is a huge advantage, and I'm encouraged by how much content I'm already able to comprehend during my day to day experience. I scheduled the next unit!

I was originally intimidated about starting level one. Because since it was only 10 classes I assumed it would be very fast-paced. I did not know if would not be able to keep up and understand so I was already doubting myself. My instructor Monica was awesome , she went at a great speed any many things from high were starting to come back. I was able to understand quicker than I thought, but you REALLY must practice outside of the once per week class to keep your mind from forgetting. Level 1 was very fun, . I passed my exam!!!! I am ready for level 2.

I took Spanish for Absolute Beginners with María Chanamé and I am very pleased with this course. María’s classes are a good mix of learning & having fun. She’s adding a lot of insights to each lesson that you can only get from a native speaker. I like that she’s very attentive to every student in class; I never felt that I was being left out. María always has that positive and upbeat energy that makes the whole class a joy to listen & participate.

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 love how you organize your lessons with vocabulary to study and grammar to work with. The homework is very helpful, and your teachers are wonderful.

This a great introduction to Spanish. I have tried apps in the past, but having designated times to meet and speak with others while learning grammar has helped me to improve so quickly!

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.
