Spanish classes in Turlock

I was in a class with some great students and we had a very wonderful and patient instructor Alan Z. He made learning Spanish fun and interesting.

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.

I was a bit intimidated after taking the first class. We covered a lot on the first day and there was a lot of memorization involved. My memory is not that good so that’s why I was intimidated. But I studied every night and each class thereafter was less intimidating. By the middle of the course, all that memorization helped me comprehend new topics later on! Can’t wait to take Course Two!

Eva actually taught this course, because Nelson was out on family leave. She was friendly, clear, and very encouraging and helpful.

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.

Great course. I was devoted and eager to learn during the pandemic
