Frequently asked questions

Will this help me develop marketing campaigns for Hispanic audiences?

Conversational Spanish is essential for understanding Hispanic audiences, but you'll still need cultural expertise and possibly native speakers for campaign development. Our classes give you the language foundation to communicate with Spanish-speaking teams, understand consumer insights, and evaluate marketing materials with basic comprehension.

Do you teach marketing-specific vocabulary in Spanish?

We teach conversational Spanish. Marketing and advertising vocabulary can be learned more easily once you have conversational fluency. Many marketing professionals supplement with industry-specific resources and work with native speakers for campaign-specific language.

How important is cultural understanding versus just language skills?

Both are crucial. Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries and expose you to cultural differences naturally during classes. Language fluency helps you understand cultural nuances, but developing marketing for Hispanic audiences requires deep cultural knowledge beyond language alone.

Can I learn enough Spanish to review copy and campaign materials?

With intermediate Spanish proficiency (typically 12-24 months of study), you'll be able to understand the basic meaning of Spanish copy and materials. However, for professional review of marketing campaigns, native speaker insight is still essential for catching cultural nuances and ensuring effectiveness.

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.

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.

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!!!
