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.

Great basics course to get a base knowledge of Spanish! A lot to learn but not too overwhelming.

Ms. Ordonez is a very lovely person and I am guessing she taught the class based on the requirements of Berges.
The class each week was 1 and 1/2 hours. In that time, we spent half the time going over the homework from the week before. The other half of the class a lecture about the current information. There was no additional support other than the text book from Berges and frequently it was difficult to understand.
I could have taught myself instead of taking the class considering the lack of information about various parts of how Spanish works.
The college classes were cheaper and were more time for each lesson.
I'm not sure who benefits from your classes.

I love the structure of the course. Maria was very engaging and patient. She made class interactive and fun. I recommend Berges already to 2 other friends who have also signed up! I am also already signed up for level 2

The class was well structured. I enjoyed learning spanish using the book. The book is easy to follow, and the homework questions could really help me memorize everything. I also like that there are a lot of interactions between students and the teacher. We got to practice our pronunciation a lot. I joined the class without any Spanish background, but I really felt I was picking up fast. English is my second language, I never thought I would learn a third language. But I had so much fun....This morning, I passed the beginner's test and I have purchased the level 2 class with the same instructor (Juan Carlos Alvarez). Can't wait to go to the next level.

The course was enjoyable and helpful in keeping me focused. At times it went too quickly, but Edgardo was always willing to clear up misunderstandings. I felt motivated and confident enough to register for the next level.
