The coursework emphasized learning to speak and understand complete sentences rather than just words which made learning easy

We were pushed to memorize the vocabulary and conjugation to form statements. This was highly valuable and though hard at times, it was appreciated.

The course was very beginner-friendly and the teacher outstanding! After the Beginner course I have already begun to have conversations with locals in the area. Will definitely be coming back to take the next level! Thank you Berges Institute! 😃😄

I thought the course was well-paced and the material was reviewed thoroughly. Juan Carlos did a good job presenting the material and reinforcing the text.

Loved the class, perfect for me as I didn't speak a word of Spanish when I started. Now I feel like I'm starting to speak and understand.

This course is about learning the fundamentals of the language, not just popular phrases. It's great for someone wanting to truly learn the language. It is fast paced and there is a lot to remember, but Rolando was engaging, explained things concisely and was patient helping students work through stuff.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to learn Spanish with this method?

Most students become conversational after completing 5 levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).

I've never studied Spanish before. Is this right for me?

Yes! Most of our students are complete beginners. We designed our Beginners classes specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.

Will I be embarrassed in class as a beginner?

No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our teachers create a supportive environment where making mistakes is part of learning.

How is this different from Spanish apps?

We teach grammar rules first, then practice. Apps make you guess patterns. Our method is faster for adults.
