Frequently asked questions

I need to explain financial products and services. Will this help?

Yes. Once you have conversational fluency, you'll be able to explain concepts, answer questions, and discuss financial topics. The grammar-based foundation we provide helps you construct clear explanations. Financial terminology becomes easier to incorporate once you're conversational.

Do you teach financial or banking vocabulary in Spanish?

We teach general conversational Spanish. The specialized vocabulary for investments, banking, insurance, and other financial services can be learned more easily once you have conversational fluency. Many professionals supplement with industry glossaries.

How long before I can serve Spanish-speaking clients?

Most students can handle basic client conversations within 10-15 months, building to more complex financial discussions around the 16-24 month mark as they reach intermediate proficiency. The timeline depends on your starting level and study consistency.

Will conversational Spanish be enough for professional financial discussions?

Conversational fluency is the foundation for all professional Spanish communication. Once you're conversational, you can discuss financial matters, build rapport with clients, and explain services. Industry-specific terms are easier to learn and use once you have this base.

It's a great course for the value! For those thinking about taking the courses from Berges Institute, just be aware that you have to commit time outside of the course to expand on what you learned in the class. You are not going to become proficient by only spending 90 minutes a week in class. Berges does a great job getting you started, but you do have to put in the work when you're not in class.

The course moved at a comfortable pace and the material presented was suitable for true beginner. I enjoyed the way the material was presented in the Berges textbook and the weekly homework assignments helped to reinforce each week's lesson. Although it might seem overwhelming at first, once you get into a consistent rhythm and schedule for doing the homework, it flies by. While the online only format is convenient, particularly if I am traveling for work, I do wish this was an in-person class. Or if there could be some way for students to communicate with each other for meetings outside the classroom in order to practice more.

I really liked Nelson, but the class was canceled half way through, I don't think I can leave more than a 2 star review since the class wasn't completed. Additionally, there isn't a good replacement for my schedule so I'm trying to rearrange but it's fairly difficult and I'm not sure when I'll be able to complete the class.

The course includes all aspects e.g. alphabet, grammar, phonetics, in away that from lesson 1, we learn new things from each aspect of the language.

Good material and good approach to learning Spanish. Interactive sessions in small groups are very helpful in learning Spanish, and I appreciate the focus on conversational aspects.

I have really enjoyed learning Spanish via Berges. The classes are well-paced and can be challenging but aren't overwhelming.

Spanish Level 1 for beginners or those who haven’t been studying Spanish for a long time. Basic concepts are taught. We learned about Ser/Estar, family, colors, emotional states, some of the most useful regular and irregular verbs, reflexive verbs, etc. As the course progressed, there was more conversation each lesson.

This was a wonderful beginning Spanish class. We were able to build sentences and convey basic information within just a couple of weeks, while understanding the building blocks of the language and where it differs from English.

Thank you Rolando Gonzalez! My class from last year was great, but this class was awesome!! Rolando's teaching style makes you want to learn and engage. Thank you for your patience, everything just clicked this go round. I hope to have you as my instructor for my level 2 class. It will make a difference in my learning to maintain the same instructor. Loved this class and will encourage others to take the class and get involved. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and expand my language skills!
