This class was great! I learned the basics of Spanish and felt like I really grew in my knowledge and understanding of Spanish over the 10 weeks. The content and materials are well-organized and having homework each week helped. Great course

Though very fast paced, the book was extremely instructional and my teacher was very patient. I found if i didn’t study or do my homework it was a struggle to keep up though! Great class.

I have recently completed Level 1 for Beginners. I am very happy with the courses so far and feel I have learned a lot. I was able to have simple conversations with other students in class using the words we had learned. I need more to be able to actually converse with friends or strangers so I have already signed up for Level 2. I am older so learning something new does not come as fast as when I was younger.

So far, I have had a great experience with the Berges Institute and my teacher Claudia! The course for beginners is well paced and small classes allow for lots of conversation practice. Claudia is very patient and covers material thoroughly, practicing key vocab and rules until we understand.
