This course was simply superb! The format is simple yet, challenging. Nick Garcia is an amazing teacher, easy going, kind, patient, and very knowledgeable.
The lesson format is cumulative. Each weeks assignment would lead to not only a comprehensive understanding of the elementary basic use of sentence structuring and beginners conversation, but also works to build confidence in the student. I was very pleased with my progress and the ease by which the course was taught. I have signed up for the 2nd session with Nick- Highly recommend!

Julia is great. The curriculum works well. I would have valued a bit more learning around everyday phrases and some basic aids to communicating, such as what I believe is a very commonly used verb quierer and tips like tener que. I am now learning about these in a different format that I am trying, which is more about learning to speak and comprehend, quickly. I suggest including the key verbs --- with reflexives, of course, we need llarmarse and levantarse, but do we really need to prioritize verbs for shaving and putting on makeup? Nonetheless, I am using what I learned with Julia a lot, and I would recommend to anyone the foundational benefits provided by Berges and Julia.

The class provides a good foundation and it is very helpful that students are required to speak in Spanish from early in the course.

This was beyond a boring class the first few sessions. It was an entire 90 minutes on going over pronunciation in the following sessions. The teacher often forgot the name of the students who to ask questions to next he never once deviated from the written workbook that you gave. A teacher is not a teacher if they just read the written, workbook, and give the same exercises. I did not take most of this course. I cannot learn with a teacher who just reads verbatim from a workbook. It was incredibly boring.

Course was easy to follow and taught well. Homework was just enough to understand the concepts.
