Online was a great way to learn on the go. We mostly went over imperfect tense and had conversations in Spanish. I could see and hear the two other students as well as the instructor. Any awkwardness was due occasionally to the BlueJean.com app connection.

The content of the class (level 3) was very usual overall in understanding the imperfect tense and other grammar rules such as por vs para. I would say that this class should support a person's learning process, and that if someone is planning to take the class (or any level class) they should plan to be working on Spanish outside the classroom as well- to truly begin to grasp the language.

This level was particularly difficult for me, as I felt like this was the point at which my brain had a harder time digesting the material of the class and the ones before. Having the entire class taught in spanish both verbally and in the workbooks kicked it up a notch as well. Our instructor, as always, was extremely patient with all of us. This is the main reason why I love taking classes at Berges... it gives you that ability to ask as many questions as necessary and it also provides context you won't get from online courses (e.g. spanish idioms - and which english idioms do not translate, slang that was heard but we didn't know it was slang, etc.). I definitely plan on taking all levels.

I thought the course covered the right amount of material. The pace is pretty fast for someone learning the material for the first time, but it's a review for me so it worked pretty well. The instructor was humorous and personable. However, what I didn't enjoy was spending 60 minutes out of 90 to listen to the rest of the students talk about their weekends or respond to their homework assignments. A good number of students spoke at a very basic level and did not belong in Level 3. So we spent a lot of time correcting Level 1-type mistakes. While the class was helpful, I feel my time would be better invested in another way.

The course focused on The Imperfect Tense, but included a number of other important topics. It is chock full of content and each week's class is demanding yet very satisfying if you keep up with the workbook and homework.

The course was terrific, introduced the use of the (verb) imperfect tense, and was geared towards expanding vocabulary and applying the rules and nuances of Spanish grammar. This was a very valuable course in increasing understanding of how to put sentences together.

This was a very good class. I jumped into level 3 after learning Spanish on my own for a while, and while I came comfortable with reading and writing Spanish, I was nervous to speak. By the end of this class I was much more comfortable speaking with other people. I definitely recommend this class as a supplement to your Spanish education.

Nicolas was extremely nice, fun, and knowledgeable. The course was well-organized and interesting. I learned a lot. I liked it and will consider more in the future. I think the text/workbook could be a bit more engaging with visuals and pictures, maybe some charts or diagrams that help to illustrate points of material. Nicolas was very skilled at writing things on the board in a very creative and well-crafted way that really organized the information for us.

Level 3 is insightful as you are now putting into practice, verbally, Spanish's fascniating grammar and syntax. Extremely helpful class as you become more conversational. Very helpful workload.

The course was very effective for me. I was able to understand the overall structure of the language as well as being able to build sentences using different types of past tense. Alejandro was very dynamic on the activities and the topics and encouraged conversation and exchange. I'm satisfied with the end result.

This course is a well thought out method to learn the subject material with what seems(from both courses I took) effective management control of timing so that all gets well covered. And the homework is well made to give practice and clarify the material

The Berges method is really good and I think, though it calls for work and attention, it is the best way and likely the fastest way to learn a language using one class a week. And there is enough homework - well planned and structured - to help understanding. The other part is that after two courses at Berges it seems the teachers are very very good - and the program is structured in such a way to help them and the students succeed.
