Berges Institute Spanish Classes Reviews 87

Burges has a great system for teaching Spanish. The teachers are friendly and supportive and the online textbook has the vocabulary and grammar that is relevant to the lesson.

I am so glad I found Berges Institute! I began taking classes about 6-7 months ago. I started in the very beginning, even though I had taken a few Spanish classes when I was younger. It was the best decision! The program is built so that you can start where ever you feel comfortable. You are able to move through the course material and progress at your own pace. The classes are offered at all different times and days (even on weekends)! You are also able to retake a class to ensure you have a good foundation before moving on. With the team of instructors working for Berges Institute, you are in great hands! They are patient, encouraging and really knowledgeable in teaching adult learners. I have primarily taken classes with Monica Negron, Silas Bermudez, and Rolando Gonzalez, but all of their instructors are fantastic. I've found that Monica, Silas, and Rolando are great at adding extra practice and providing some of the cultural extras based on the lesson of the day. They are amazing! And you can't beat the price for what you get!!

I highly recommend Berges Institute if you are looking for an online (via Zoom) Spanish school to get you learning and speaking Spanish...at your own pace...with a fantastic team of instructors!! Give them a try...you won't be disappointed.

I have taken many Spanish lessons of multiple levels from Rolando at Berges Institute. Rolando is an excellent Spanish teacher. His classes have a good balance of lecture and practice. He is very knowledgeable; he explains language points very clearly with ample examples and points out the nuances in word choice and contextual usage so that students can learn the authentic way of communication. He corrects students’ mistakes without making them feel discouraged. In his lessons, he uses vocabulary and sentence structures based on the course progress, so students are adequately challenged but not overwhelmed. Rolando is patient, calm, and funny. His lessons have given me a good foundation in Spanish; for a beginner-level student, this is priceless. Rolando is an outstanding teacher!

I just finished Level 1 Spanish at Berges (Zoom group classes) with Marian. I really enjoyed it and feel that I learned a lot in a short amount of time! I appreciated the flexibility of the classes, the kindness and patience of the instructor, and the clarity of the written materials. I’m looking forward to Level 2!

Monica is a kind, personable and organized teacher. She is thorough, knowledgeable and helpful in understanding what was being taught. She also spends time building up conversation skills. I have gained a lot from participating in her classes.

Yo he tenido una experienca estupenda con Berges. Yo empece las clases en nivel 2 hace 6 meses y ahora estoy en nivel 5 y en un clase de convercacion basico. Normalmente yo tomo las clases con Nelson pero yo he tomado clases con otras maestros tambien. Todos estan muy bien. Mi español esta mejorando rapidemente y las clases estan divertidos. Recomiendo a todas personas que quieres aprender Español.

I have had a great experience with Berges. I started classes at level 2 six months ago and now I am at level 5 and in a basic conversation class. Normally I take classes with Nelson but I have taken classes with other teachers as well. They are all very good. My Spanish is improving quickly and the classes are fun. I recommend to all people who want to learn Spanish.

I am so glad I found Berges. My Spanish confidence has increased tremendously after two months. Looking forward to continuing with their program!

After several attempts at trying to learn spanish, I run across this program online. I LOVE IT.
I completed the 10-week beginner course. My primary instructor is Gloria Alveal. She is wonderful. Super attentive, very patient and explains things easily. She makes the classes fun.
The ability to retake classes with other instructors is a wonderful option. I had the pleasure of taking two courses with other instructors and found them to be very good teachers. I learned so much. I'm looking forward to the next level.

I have been taking Spanish with Berges for the last few months and I love the experience and the instructors! Everybody is great and very knowledgeable and passionate. I have been learning so much thanks to the teachers and to the Berges Institute! I have improved greatly and I can't be happier. Highly recommended!! A++++++

I had studied Spanish for years with Duolingo and could read well, but I never felt comfortable trying to speak. I started taking Grammar classes at level 3 (I was surprised that the other students in the class were already somewhat conversational after only 2 beginner classes - so it is obvious that conversational skills are taught early on in Grammar class), and a month or so later started the Basic Conversation class , both with Nelson Navarrete (I highly recommend taking classes with Nelson). I have just completed level 4 in Grammar and am into my 2nd round of Basic Conversation. The change in my abilities is fantastic after just 5 months - I cannot wait to see where I will be at year's end! I can now have a conversation in Spanish (by no means perfectly - but I can communicate and am no longer afraid to make errors). I think in Spanish much of the time as well. I can't thank Nelson enough - his classes are a fun and welcoming space and I look forward to each one. I wish I had found Berges sooner.

The teachers at Berges are all top notch! I have now completed Levels 1 and 2 and I have learned SO MUCH!!! Gloria is a fantastic teacher, positive, fun, experienced, knowledgeable and just the best! I cannot say enough good things about Berges! I can’t wait to start Level 3!!!

Classes are offered at the students convenience and my instructor Monica Negron was exceptional in every way.

I took the level 1 Spanish class and learned a ton. Yuli is a fantastic instructor and I can’t say enough good things about her. She sent extra videos and PDFs of our class work. She was extremely patient and answered all of my questions.

I love this school. the teachers are exceptional and interacting with other students is fun and educational

Like that every so often you have the opportunity to purchase discount gift card.

I will continue with classes until I have done them all please add more higher levels

I highly recommend this company and methodology for learning Spanish! I've LOVED my classes with Nicolás Zuluaga, & Rolando González, both are super interesting, fun, knowledgable and engaging teachers. Both deserve awards, prizes, a raise or whatever you can!

...If you want to improve your Spanish, this is what I'd recommend!

Just finished Level 2 and I really love the course and approach. I'm continuing with Nicolás Zuluaga -- he's terrific! We spend a few minutes at the beginning of each class just practicing casual conversation using what we've learned previously, so you start to build a working spoken vocabulary. It's a really great way to learn. The textbook is clear and easy to navigate, the homework is enough but not too much. I look forward to the weekly lessons.

I’ve taken levels 1 to 5 with Nelson at the Berges Institute and can’t say enough great things about him! I started with no Spanish background but the way classes are structured to teach grammar and vocabulary with a textbook made it easy to tackle. Nelson’s personalized approach and chatting at the beginning of each class made it enjoyable. Highly recommend!

My professor (Rolando) broke down complicated topics into smaller and understandable pieces. He explained things in a very direct manner and he made the class a fun experience!

I have been attending Berges for over a year and have been thrilled with my experience. The courses are taught very logically, building upon each lesson to ensure that students retain the information from the preceding lessons. The instructors are all great and are from various parts of the Spanish-speaking world, which means that students have exposure to various accents and language usage to broaden our learning. Finally, there is a ton of flexibility in class schedules, which makes it really convenient for adult learning - if you miss a class, you can switch it to another day easily or take a class twice if you need additional practice. Highly recommend!

I think the classes are well structured and helped improve my Spanish. I had Gloria as my teacher and she was great!
