Frequently asked questions
Do you teach technical or programming vocabulary in Spanish?
We teach conversational Spanish, not specialized technical vocabulary. However, once you have conversational fluency and understand Spanish grammar, picking up technical terms becomes much easier. Many tech terms are similar across languages, and you'll be able to explain concepts once you have the conversational foundation.
How long until I can communicate with Spanish-speaking developers?
Most students can handle basic workplace conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. This allows you to communicate with team members, participate in meetings, and discuss projects at a basic level. More complex technical discussions develop as you progress to intermediate levels.
Will this help me work with Latin American tech teams?
Yes! Conversational Spanish is the foundation for working with any Spanish-speaking team, whether in Latin America or Spain. Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries, so you'll understand different accents and regional variations.
Can I learn Spanish while working full-time in tech?
Absolutely. Our flexible online classes are designed for working professionals. We offer classes at various times throughout the day and week, and our grammar-based method is efficient for adult learners who want to see progress quickly.

Great course with great instructors! The Berges Graf Method just works. The beginning course is heavy on grammar and vocabulary and is conducted in English. There are 10 units in the curriculum, and a homework assignment at the end of each unit that is reviewed at the following lesson. The instructors go above and beyond the class materials and make the class interesting. The classes are online and small (up to 5 people) and the instructors get all the students involved. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed Nelson's beginner Spanish class! I was a little skeptical about learning Spanish virtually but could not have been more surprised and pleased with the classes! Nelson was AMAZING!! He made the learning fun and engaging - and was extremely patient (which I appreciated!) Would highly recommend this course - would highly recommend Nelson!

The material is similar to any you might encounter in a typical language course but the instructor(s) really were the ones to make it come alive. In the beginning, before the group and the instructor got to know each other well, a lot of time was spent going over the correct answers to the homework, which reduced the amount of time to focus ahead if homework concepts were clear with the whole group. As time progressed and the instructor got to know the group better, the homework review became more dynamic and engaging. I think this was more due to the structure of the lesson than the instructor. The book and other course material was very good and the support and flexibility from the organization was great.

I enjoyed the class with Maria, she was always very cheerful and by reviewing the class work and homework the class stayed organized and the 90 minutes went by quickly and I was never bored. Also I liked the way she utilized the screen share to review the materials. She also made sure everyone was engaged by calling on everyone to answers questions and participate.

Overall the course is good. The reason for the 3 stars is due to having 3 different instructors within the 10weeks. All 3 instructors has different teaching styles. Although each new instructor tried to make the transition seamless the overall experience of the course was impacted by needing to readjust to each teachers style.

Berges Spanish was great! The class options allowed for taking classes when it worked in my schedule. The pace, practice, homework, and live lessons were supportive and truly moved me forward in learning Spanish. I will be starting the next level soon!

I enjoy how this course is structured to gradually introduce the fundamentals of learning to communicate in Spanish. Each week offers segmented batches of vocabulary, in addition to rules for how these words should be properly structured and used in everyday scenarios. If you put in the time to memorize and practice the new vocabulary introduced each week to stay up with the class, then you will surely see progress.

Excellent course. I feel as though I learned a lot in a short amount of time. The classes were fun and interesting with Edgardo and he made concepts very clear. He was also very patient and supportive. I am continuing on with him, and feel that I will get the best possible education in Spanish.

Really enjoyed the class. Every week I was surprised by my ability to put words together to create longer sentences. Nelson made the class fun and interactive which made all the difference. I also was able to make friends from work which was an added bonus! Definitely a lot to learn still, but am so happy with everything I learned in 10 weeks.

Great course. Excellent instructor. Very interactive.
Forces you to learn and speak Spanish, instead of just listening and forgetting.

I had the privilege of being a student in Professor Sofia's Spanish class, and I must express my sincere appreciation for her exceptional teaching style. Sofia proved to be an amazing educator who adeptly delivered content in a manner that was both accessible and easy to digest.
One of the standout qualities of Professor Sofia was her deliberate pace, ensuring that all students could follow along and comprehend the material thoroughly. Her use of relatable examples and clear explanations significantly enhanced the learning experience, making complex concepts more manageable.
What truly set Professor Sofia apart was her ability to create a classroom environment that was not only educational but also enjoyable. She infused a sense of joy and enthusiasm into her lessons, making the learning process both engaging and dynamic. Importantly, Sofia fostered a safe and supportive atmosphere where students felt comfortable making mistakes without fear of embarrassment.
In conclusion, I highly commend Professor Sofia for her dedication to her students' understanding and her commitment to cultivating a positive learning environment. Sofia's teaching style is a testament to her passion for education, and I feel fortunate to have benefited from her expertise.

It's a great course for the value! For those thinking about taking the courses from Berges Institute, just be aware that you have to commit time outside of the course to expand on what you learned in the class. You are not going to become proficient by only spending 90 minutes a week in class. Berges does a great job getting you started, but you do have to put in the work when you're not in class.
