Spanish classes in Santa Barbara

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.

Great class! A lot of practice and learn a lot just in 10 weeks.

Great foundational course. Alejandro is a fantastic instructor, his teaching methods really resonated with me and helped me retain information.

Hola! This class was very helpful for my first steps of understanding the structure of Spanish language. Nelson is great teacher and he knows how to make those classes funny,so we can enjoy the process of learning the gramma and vocabulary with pleasure.

I was originally intimidated about starting level one. Because since it was only 10 classes I assumed it would be very fast-paced. I did not know if would not be able to keep up and understand so I was already doubting myself. My instructor Monica was awesome , she went at a great speed any many things from high were starting to come back. I was able to understand quicker than I thought, but you REALLY must practice outside of the once per week class to keep your mind from forgetting. Level 1 was very fun, . I passed my exam!!!! I am ready for level 2.

The course was great. Nelson is an incredible instructor. He has great energy and he manages to tie examples to real-life topics and issues, which made it much easier to learn the concepts.
