Frequently asked questions
We teach conversational Spanish, not specialized law enforcement vocabulary. However, conversational fluency is the foundation for all professional Spanish use. Many officers find that once they're conversational, they can learn specific commands, procedures, and legal terms through department training or on-the-job experience.
Many students can handle basic conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. This allows you to greet residents, ask simple questions, and understand basic responses - specialized law enforcement communication builds on this foundation.
Yes, if multiple officers are at similar Spanish levels, we can arrange group classes. Learning together can help build shared vocabulary and create a more bilingual-ready department.
Yes, our online classes are offered at various times throughout the day and week, making it easier to fit Spanish learning around rotating shifts and irregular schedules.

Me and my wife took level 1 with Alexandra. We very much enjoyed the whole process and learned a lot in such a short time. I already enrolled for level 2. We liked their teaching method Graf. Berges is very good at communication with their students.

We covered a great deal pf information. I originally wanted to learn Spanish formally and this was a good introduction to learning the basics. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue classes halfway through because of my work schedule from the Covid-19, but I continue to study my material.

The course was well done. I think more could have been covered, but difficult with having numerous people online. It would've been nice to receive the actual book in the mail as the course cost includes a physical copy. Ready for Level 2 now!
