Spanish classes in San Clemente

I had a very good experience with my first Berges Institute course. I liked how the course was organized, the clear topics and focus provided through the pdf textbook and the regular (weekly) class meetings.

Great instructor, always full of energy and enthusiasm. I’ve tried to learn Spanish several times before but this time it seems to be working, due, particularly, to the way it is organized and builds on knowledge in a logical progression.

I thought the course was great! I had taken Spanish in grade school as a child so I was starting for the basics. You learn a lot of foundational information in the class but its really up to you to practice what you’ve learned during the week so that it sticks.

The course was great for me to start learning Spanish! I already signed up for level 2. The homework was definitely a huge part of the course and you will fall behind if you do not do it but I found it enjoyable. I also was able to practice concepts I learned with my girlfriend who is fluent which I think was helpful. Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for (something to launch my Spanish learning beyond simple flashcards or a duo lingo equivalent). My only complaint is that the 10th course is just a review of the exam (takes place between 9th and 10th classes) and I feel more content could be covered by having another class worth of content and pushing out the exam to after the 10th class.

This was a wonderful addition to my week! I felt like I was making real progress without feeling overwhelmed by the pacing or amount of homework.

Excellent instructor. I’m taking the second course with Edgardo because of how well the first course went. Good course set up and enough time to learn a lot. Would definitely recommend to my colleagues and friends.
