Spanish classes in San Mateo

This was a great online course to start learning more Spanish. I definitely got a lot out of the class and really enjoyed my professor and classmates.

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.

Patient and engaging instructor, loved the format of the class and the way the class was structured

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.

I enjoyed this Level 1 class. It was exactly where I needed to start and felt the pace of the class was perfect.

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.
