Frequently asked questions

I mainly need Spanish for parent-teacher conferences. Is conversational Spanish enough?

Yes. Parent-teacher conferences require clear, respectful conversation about student progress and behavior. Our program gives you exactly this foundation. You'll be able to discuss grades, homework, behavior, and concerns - the specialized education vocabulary will come naturally once you have conversational fluency.

Do you teach classroom management phrases or education terminology?

We focus on general conversational Spanish rather than specialized education vocabulary. However, many teachers find that once they're conversational, they can easily pick up classroom phrases and education terms through their daily work or supplementary resources.

How quickly can I start communicating with Spanish-speaking families?

Many teachers can handle basic parent communications within 10-15 months of consistent study. Our small group classes and grammar-based method help you progress quickly, and you can start using simple Spanish with families even earlier.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt like I made great progress over the 10 lessons. I appreciated the small group size which always allowed for lots of interaction with fellow students and the opportunity to ask as many questions as needed of the instructor. I have tried learning on apps like Duolingo before and while that route is obviously less expensive, I did not find it to be nearly as effective as Berges. I'm looking forward to continuing with Unit 2!
