A lot of homework! However, the instructor is very patient. I have learned more from this Beginner's class than from any other beginner's class that I attempted.

I have studied a little Spanish in the past and I found the level to be perfect for me. I found that using this method of study I am understanding more about how sentences are constructed and practising speaking each week. The tutors are great and the whole experience is very well organised.

I like the pace of the course, the content, the amount of homework, the challenges are adequate but not too difficult. Nelson doesn't waste time in the 1.5 hours and sticks to the content. I hope to take his course for level 2.

The beginner-level class at Berges Institute is very well planned and structured. It is here at Berges that I finally feel I have made real progress in understanding and using the language. The amount of homework can feel daunting at times, but I feel that the regular practice is a big part of why my Spanish has improved so much.
I’m very happy with my experience at Berges Institute and would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning Spanish.

Learning a lot in a very short span of time. Love the instructor and love the class format, the homeworks, which really help, and the speed of the class.

So far this method is working well for me. Our class (taught by Ana) has lots of participation. We write sentences and questions, then share and converse with the class. Ana is an upbeat teacher and encourages us while gently correcting us. She also gives us phrases and expressions used in real conversations (so we'll talk like a local, and not like a textbook). The homework takes me about 2 hours a week, which reinforces with practice and repetition. I feel like I'm making real progress in learning.

I found the beginners’ Spanish course much faster-paced than I had expected for a beginners’ class, it missed several basics in my view. Several of the other attendees appeared to have considerably more prior knowledge, which made it difficult to keep up and, at times, left me feeling that I was falling behind.
I also found the teaching style of the first tutor quite abrupt, which made the experience less enjoyable and made me feel less confident about asking questions and participating.
I subsequently joined Nelson’s class and found this a much more positive experience. His teaching style was relaxed, clear and encouraging, and the pace was much easier to follow. I felt much more comfortable asking questions and was able to take in and understand the material far better.
Overall, I think beginners’ classes would benefit from ensuring that participants have a genuinely similar starting level and from allowing a little more time for new learners to absorb the basics. Nelson’s approach showed me how much more enjoyable and effective the course can be when the pace and teaching style are suited to complete beginners.

The level is too advanced for a beginner.
The teachers need to slow down.
Please have the teachers to post the answer keys for all the homework.
Thanks

Everything from the ABCs to the 123s. Perfect for people that want to make sure they are starting from the beginning and build a strong foundation of understanding.

For the first time in my 60 years, I am actually learning to speak and understand Spanish after just six weeks of a 10-week course. My confidence in speaking with native Spanish speakers has improved tremendously. I'm looking forward to taking the next level class. Thank you!

This class is great. I have learned so much and I am starting to understand more and more on the cougation of words. Truly, I don't know every word. However, it has been challenging but also enjoyable because I am learning spanish with my wife in this class. The instructor is awsome and patient with students as we learn and I thank you.

I had a really positive experience with the 10-week Beginner Spanish course. The instructors were excellent, especially María Chanamé and Yuli Casallas. They consistently challenged us to speak in Spanish and made sure everyone had the opportunity to participate, which made the classes engaging and helped build confidence.
I also really appreciated the flexibility to reschedule classes when needed. The textbook was another big plus — it was well structured, easy to print and annotate, and something you could really make your own throughout the course.
Overall, it was a great first introduction to Spanish, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to start learning the language!

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Spanish with Berges?
Most students become conversational after completing five levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).
I've never studied Spanish before. Is this right for me?
Yes! We designed our Beginners level specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.
Will I be embarrassed in class as a beginner?
No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our instructors 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.
Do you teach Castilian or Latin American Spanish?
Spanish is one language with regional differences (mostly accent and a handful of everyday words). We teach standard Spanish, so what you learn works wherever Spanish is spoken.
Are classes recorded?
No. Classes are live only, which protects everyone's privacy and keeps students comfortable speaking up.
How old do I need to be to enroll?
Our classes are for adults. If you're 16 or 17, you can enroll as long as a parent or legal guardian accepts our terms on your behalf.
