Frequently asked questions

I just need basic Spanish for an upcoming trip. Is this program too advanced?

Our program teaches conversational Spanish that's perfect for travelers. While we focus on building a real language foundation rather than just memorizing tourist phrases, this actually serves you better when unexpected situations arise. You'll be able to construct sentences and adapt, not just repeat rehearsed lines.

Do you teach travel-specific phrases and vocabulary?

We teach conversational Spanish through grammar and sentence-building that naturally includes travel situations - ordering food, asking directions, booking hotels, shopping, and more. The grammar foundation we provide lets you create sentences for any travel situation rather than being limited to scripted phrases.

How quickly can I prepare for a trip to Spain or Latin America?

For a basic travel foundation, we recommend at least 5-6 months of study before your trip. However, even a couple months of study will give you valuable skills and confidence. Many travelers continue learning after their trip once they experience the joy of communicating in Spanish.

Will I understand different Spanish accents in different countries?

Yes! Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries, so you'll be exposed to different accents during your classes. We focus on teaching you clear, widely-understood Spanish while also helping you recognize regional variations.

Berges Institute provides a great service for adult learners who need to learn a language from the very beginning at their own pace and around their own schedule. The first course provided a very solid foundation!

I am very impressed with the course structure and competence of Instructors. The classes were super interactive. Being a newbie, I started this course on a nervous and self-doubting note. However, I feel very confident speaking basic Spanish after finishing it. Highly recommended for anyone willing to embark on this journey!

Despite joining Berges in November 2023, I haven’t managed to get past the first lesson due to scheduling issues with work and home. I’m trying again, starting July 1st. My classes will be different times and instructors in an event to work around my crazy schedule. So far I like it, especially being able to watch a video of each class….that’s very helpful. I pray I’m able to complete level one without stopping. Sorry I wasn’t able to give more of a detailed description of the course and instructors. Marcia Q

The Spanish beginner's course was very well organized and covered all that's needed for a beginner to learn. The instructor Juan Carlos was very good at teaching and helped making us understand and reviewing the materials on weekly bases.
