I took a class in person in 2015, and now I am living across the country and am fortunate to take a class again from you all. I think the approach is simple and I am able to learn quickly. I think the style can be a little stagnant, but it’s important to lay down that ground work before one moves on. The Graf approach is very simple.

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.

I had taken Spanish many years ago and thought that I needed a refresher/back-to-basics type of class and I got that and so much more! By the end of the class, I am able to converse and speak about myself and others in Spanish, which is a huge leap. I'm excited to keep learning as I've signed up for Level 2! I love this method of teaching & learning as it's realistic and easy-to-understand.

The course was excellent. I studied French for many years, but had no formal instruction in Spanish. I knew some words and phrases that I had learned from friends or from using apps and online self-study programs. The course pulled everything together by helping me to understand the grammar and have confidence that I was saying things correctly. I saw a huge improvement in my ability to read and understand Spanish. I also enjoyed the learning environment. Even though the course was online, I enjoyed the interaction with fellow students. I highly recommend this course.
