Frequently asked questions
Absolutely! Learning Spanish shows respect and commitment to your partner and their family. Conversational Spanish allows you to participate in family gatherings, understand conversations, and build genuine relationships with your partner's Spanish-speaking relatives.
Basic conversations can happen within 10-15 months, but deeper, more nuanced discussions about feelings, plans, and experiences typically develop around the 16-24 month mark as you reach intermediate proficiency. Every bit of Spanish you learn immediately improves your communication.
We teach conversational Spanish that naturally includes expressing feelings, discussing relationships, and sharing personal experiences. The grammar foundation we provide lets you express your own thoughts rather than relying on pre-made phrases, which is essential for authentic communication.
Many students report that learning their partner's language strengthens their relationship significantly. It shows commitment, allows you to connect with extended family, understand cultural context, and communicate when your partner prefers Spanish for emotional or important conversations.

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 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 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.

I really liked the course I took through Berges. It made me feel like I had a better base level of understanding the present tense and certain verbs we use in the language over and over again. My instructor Karen was a great teacher and was so patient with us throughout the course.
