The level is very well paced and excellent for a beginner of the language. The methodology is very good and leaves the student improving in both the grammar and vocabulary with every class.

Très satisfait des cours de ce premier niveau, c'est bien fait avec la méthode de Graf, on t'enseigne peu à peu la grammaire et le vocabulaire, pour d'abord comprendre la langue et comment est sa structure, on commence déjà à faire des phrase, à répondre à des questions, à traduire... Les profs aussi sont très bien... Je suis très satisfait et content d'avoir trouvé ce site BERGES Instute ! Je m'attaque déjà à mon deuxième niveau et je compte terminer tous les niveaux jusqu'au cinquième.

Appreciate the flexibility of classes available & being able to choose another class instead of missing a session is a great option. Both instructors I have experienced were helpful and patient and they did a good job of covering class material in time allotted. The work seems appropriate and the material is suitable for beginners although I think it is more helpful having been exposed to the language in another setting. This class is a good basic start for someone wanting to get a better grasp on language.

I took Spanish for Absolute Beginners with María Chanamé and I am very pleased with this course. María’s classes are a good mix of learning & having fun. She’s adding a lot of insights to each lesson that you can only get from a native speaker. I like that she’s very attentive to every student in class; I never felt that I was being left out. María always has that positive and upbeat energy that makes the whole class a joy to listen & participate.

The class is very engaging, open communication between the professor and students, easy to follow and not too overwhelming.

My instructor is Juan Carlos. He is a very good teacher. He’s very patient, clear and has a good sense of humor, which makes learning fun. I feel very encouraged and I’m learning so much. I really have improved my Spanish in this short time thanks to how well Juan Carlos teaches the curriculum. The curriculum is very well put together and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to taking more classes.

I am really impressed by the course. I can see how my Spanish is becoming better every week. I didn’t study online before that, and I didn’t know what to expect. But I am really satisfied with Berges ! Thank you guys, for your job, and special thanks for Maria , my teacher!!!

I think the length of each lesson is just about perfect for the amount of time I have to devote to studying each week, including the homework. The instructor, Juan Carlos is very congenial and sets a good pace during our class sessions. I especially like that he actively encourages questions from the students. He also relates his personal experience as a language learner and solicits input from class members. The course curriculum covers exactly the material I want, since many self-study courses and materials are lacking in fundamental grammar. I do wish there was a little more emphasis on speaking and especially listening comprehension.

The material is comprehensive to get you started speaking, able to have practical conversations in the first couple weeks.

love it, Maria is a great teacher!

I have been really happy with the classes and my teacher, Juan Carlos, is wonderful.
The class size has allowed for a lot of one on one attention, which is greatly appreciated.
I look forward to continuing my studies here

I’ve learned a lot, have a lot more confidence in speaking Spanish. I speak it more often to Spanish speakers and less intimidated in speaking Spanish IRL. The flexibility to take a make up class later in the week with another teacher is amazing! Sometimes the Friday make up class doesn’t have anyone else there so it’s like a private class!!!

I am enjoying the beginner Spanish classes with Ms. Marian. It is very interactive and informative.
Ashleigh Lucero
A lot of information to take in but my teacher made it as simple as it could be! I feel this is a wonderful starting point for someone looking to understand the full language not just some phrases.
LaShawn Royster
Although I am at a bit of a higher level, I thought it necessary to start from scratch. This level is a self assessment to see how much I know. I've also decided to take 3 of the same class for the sake of repetition and enforcing the lesson. All classes are great at helping me to achieve my goal.

I am on week 6 of 10 of Spanish for Absolute Beginners (online), and I love it! We meet once a week for 1 1/2 hours. The time goes by really quickly because the class is fun! Gloria is such an amazing teacher. She calls on students in class so we all participate. At first I was nervous about this, but it forces me to practice the skills I will need to speak Spanish in real life. And she is super patient if/when you make mistakes.
I highly recommend this class! It is 100% worth the cost.
