Spanish classes in Pittsburg

I learned more in the few weeks of this small group course than I did in a one-on-one tutoring course of similar length from another company.

The material is similar to any you might encounter in a typical language course but the instructor(s) really were the ones to make it come alive. In the beginning, before the group and the instructor got to know each other well, a lot of time was spent going over the correct answers to the homework, which reduced the amount of time to focus ahead if homework concepts were clear with the whole group. As time progressed and the instructor got to know the group better, the homework review became more dynamic and engaging. I think this was more due to the structure of the lesson than the instructor. The book and other course material was very good and the support and flexibility from the organization was great.

I can't believe how far I have come in just 10 weeks of Spanish class through Berges. With the small group size of each class, I'm able to ask every question that comes up, review all of my homework, and get lots of practice speaking Spanish with my classmates and professor. Speaking of professors, I can not speak highly enough of Rolando. He is engaging, clear, and has lots of ways to explain the language that help me make sense of how it's different than English. This makes Spanish feel more natural to me, as opposed to always trying to translate in my head. I'm so grateful that my friend recommended Berges to me, and I recommend it to everyone who asks about my new found linguistic skills! Don't hesitate - just commit to a class once a week and you'll be amazed at how quickly you can navigate a simple conversation with another Spanish speaker.

Thoroughly enjoyed Nelson's beginner Spanish class! I was a little skeptical about learning Spanish virtually but could not have been more surprised and pleased with the classes! Nelson was AMAZING!! He made the learning fun and engaging - and was extremely patient (which I appreciated!) Would highly recommend this course - would highly recommend Nelson!

I liked the course. It's structured so that you learn enough to start conversing right away which is important to me as speaking is where I struggle the most. The homework is challenging but not too much. I can just do a little bit every day.

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!
