Frequently asked questions
I need Spanish for business meetings and negotiations. Do you teach business Spanish?
We teach conversational Spanish, which gives you the grammatical foundation and fluency needed for business contexts. Once you're conversational, picking up business terminology and formal registers becomes much easier. Many of our students apply their Spanish in business settings very successfully.
How flexible is the scheduling for busy executives?
Very flexible. We offer online classes at multiple times throughout the day and week. You can choose the schedule that works best for you, and if you need to miss a class, you can often make it up with another group at your level.
What level of proficiency should I aim for as a business professional?
Most business professionals benefit from reaching at least intermediate conversational ability. This allows you to build relationships, understand meetings, and communicate your ideas. The exact level depends on how frequently you'll use Spanish and in what contexts.
Can my executive team learn together?
Yes, if you have multiple people at similar Spanish levels, we can arrange group classes for your team. Learning together can build shared vocabulary and create a bilingual culture within your organization.

This beginner course was better than an introduction. I feel ready for my vacation with an overview of basic language. The instructor was so prepared and patient. Thank you for this opportunity at such a reasonable price.

I am loving the class and am learning so much! And the teacher is really fun! I have tried online apps before but that format is helping me truly learn. Finally!

The classes are amazing. As well as the instructors. I wish it was more than once a week. The lessons are very thorough and it helps work with a native Spanish speaking instructor.

GREAT intro course taught by a native Spanish speaker. Not only was there a textbook for the class, but slides presented the material slightly differently - making it a lot easier to understand and remember. PLUS it was easy to reschedule classes when life happens, making it so you don't miss any material.

I am loving the class and having homework to do helps a lot. The teacher is very good and putting in the work and learning is what you have to do.

I had done some self-study before joining the Berges beginners' course by listening to the free Language Transfer course by Mihalis Eleftheriou. This primer definitely gave me a head start with the Berges course, and maybe at the start it felt a little slow for me. Nonethetheless, it was very beneficial fo me to be able to interact with a native Spanish-speaking teacher as well as my classmates. It has already given me the confidence to engage in short basic conversations on my trips to Spain.
Luana is an excellent teacher, but on the occasions where I had to use a different teacher I found them all helpful and positive and learnt different things from each. It was also enjoyable to meet virtually with a range of other Spanish students around the world.

Since it had been over 20 years since I had taken Spanish, I needed to be able to start back at the beginning. This is a genuine beginner class, and it's been a great learning experience! To start, the class is being taught by a native speaker - which makes a HUGE difference. From being able to say what is formal, to what's ACTUALLY said in day to day (and how it may differ from country to country!), and hearing the correct pronunciation - that aspect is a game changer. REALLY looking forward to testing out what I've learned in the real world!

This has been a great introductory course to Spanish. It is fast paced, but the live classes force you to think on your feet and have conversations which is great. I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot. The homework reinforces what I learn.

This was exactly what I was looking for. My learning style is well supported by this classroom model and group process. Most Spanish lessons I found seem to be one-on-one tutors, which doesn't feel as helpful to me as a beginner yet. I appreciate the pacing and homework to keep practicing throughout the week.

Beginners Spanish has been a very good class overall. It helps to introduce students to the basics of Spanish. It is also a good baseline to prepare students who are interested in taking more complex levels later on. The textbook content also provides topics that are relevant to students daily lives, such as food, activities, places, etc.

The level I choose has NOTHING to do with our teacher (Claudia). She is doing a wonderful job. I wouldn't even say that the level I gave has to do with the material that the course uses. This level more reflects on the difficulty of teaching an on-line course and what I'd hope to get from the class. I even think part of it is that teachers are probably instructed to NOT encourage students to improve pronunciation, when (even to my untrained ears) I can hear that myself and other students ARE NOT pronouncing words correctly. Then you have students that clearly are not studying every week so the class moves along so slowly, which for me was frustrating. Not to mention the first to weeks of this 10 week course, we had a different teacher and it was confusing how she taught. The on-line class information was hard to follow, how courses, classes, assignments and things were linked was not clear and it was tough finding stuff on line.
