Berges Institute provides a great service for adult learners who need to learn a language from the very beginning at their own pace and around their own schedule. The first course provided a very solid foundation!

I am very impressed with the course structure and competence of Instructors. The classes were super interactive. Being a newbie, I started this course on a nervous and self-doubting note. However, I feel very confident speaking basic Spanish after finishing it. Highly recommended for anyone willing to embark on this journey!

Despite joining Berges in November 2023, I haven’t managed to get past the first lesson due to scheduling issues with work and home. I’m trying again, starting July 1st. My classes will be different times and instructors in an event to work around my crazy schedule. So far I like it, especially being able to watch a video of each class….that’s very helpful. I pray I’m able to complete level one without stopping. Sorry I wasn’t able to give more of a detailed description of the course and instructors. Marcia Q
