It was always clearly delivered and explanations for grammar and other questions always answered.

It was practical and comprehensive. We had ample opportunities to practice and ask questions. It gave me something to look forward to.

This course was what I'd hoped for and then some. I have difficulty learning foreign languages, but happily, this technique and this teacher suit me and I'm enrolling in Part 2.
Julia is a wonderful teacher. She explains grammatical points clearly. She is patient and kind and handily involves the students in conversation with one another. I especially appreciate the points she makes about how something is said in Mexico v. in Spain or even in certain other Latin American countries. I enrolled in her course because my future extended family is Mexican and it was important to attune my ear to the Mexican dialect, so these explanations are really useful.
So why four stars and not five? Three reasons: 1. There's no in-person option yet--and I understand that it's not possible yet, but being in person would ease conversation and build an esprit de corps amongst students. 2. I wish you used Zoom instead of BlueJeans. Zoom is just a better platform. Hope you'll consider changing. 3. I wish there was more written homework along with video components so that students could respond to Spanish spoken at conversational speed. But maybe that's to come in the more advanced modules.
Looking forward to the past tense. Many thanks.

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!

Some teachers did a better job of speaking more in Spanish than others. But consistency is good amongst courses.

This course was a great! a broken down - structural introduction into learning the Spanish language.
