I had taken Spanish many years ago and thought that I needed a refresher/back-to-basics type of class and I got that and so much more! By the end of the class, I am able to converse and speak about myself and others in Spanish, which is a huge leap. I'm excited to keep learning as I've signed up for Level 2! I love this method of teaching & learning as it's realistic and easy-to-understand.

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.

I've taken six of the 10 Level 1 beginner classes so far, have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and have learned a lot of elementary Spanish. I've had experience with three teachers, and they've each been excellent. My favorite, so far, is Monica Negron. I like her peaceful vibe, her friendly nature, and how well organized she is. I love that we can schedule classes around our personal schedules, by changing days and times, as needed. This is key for adult learners, and I'm impressed that Berges created its program around this concept. I plan to continue the program after completing Level 1.

A lot of information to take in but my teacher made it as simple as it could be! I feel this is a wonderful starting point for someone looking to understand the full language not just some phrases.
