About This Deal
-
Currently and until further notice, all classes will be taught online. customers can check any of the class schedules and sign up for a course. The only difference is classes in the Online schedule will stay online, while classes in Chicago or NYC will eventually return to Berges Chicago and Berges NYC respectively once it’s safe to do so. The technology Berges uses for its online classes is very easy to use. Once customers sign up, they’ll receive an email with a link to download an app (which works great on a smartphone, tablet, or computer) and a code. They’ll just have to enter the code in the app each time to join the virtual room.

Students in the beginner’s course meet once a week. See the current class schedule.
Need To Know
About Berges Institute
Dan Berges, a teacher with years of experience and a master's degree in education, founded Berges Institute, a liberal arts educational center, in 2013. A native of Madrid, Dan coordinates Spanish classes at the school that are designed to enhance conversational skills. The school uses the Graf method, which focuses on building a fundamental understanding of the language rather than on rote memorization of a handle of phrases. In adult classes, the method also eschews learning games in favor of more intensive education that will help pupils actually express themselves. Those sessions are led by staff made up largely of Spanish and Latin American expats, who put their native speaking abilities to use as teachers and translators.
