GBRegret the Purchase Honestly, I hate the program. I paid too much for what I am getting. It is very business-centric. It does not do a great job of teaching or reinforcing learning. There is a short intro, but again, very business-centric (not generally applicable for other purposes) I would NOT RECOMMEND.

GB600-hour Spanish Course I took 600 hours of Spanish instruction through Berlitz with Alma Munoz. The class was extremely helpful and I feel much better prepared to travel and live in a foreign country. She made learning the language fun and found creative ways to keep me engaged for 600 hours! By the end of the course I exceeded the score required by my employer. She was patient and has a unique ability to explain even difficult concepts. I would absolutely recommend the Berlitz program based on my experience with Alma.

GBTruly a bad experience with Berlitz… Truly a bad experience with Berlitz Flex. Video courses are repetitive and terminally slow, with not enough focus on grammar or actual conversation. The amount of time they give for you to cancel is not sufficient as a new learner- only a few days. By the time you realize how utterly useless and glitchy the program is, they have you locked into a contract that they will not release you from. Avoid at all costs.

GBin general I am very pleased with Berlitz. The continued difficulty for both me and my instructor Alma to join the lesson is very frustrating for both of us. We are resorting to Skyp in general I am very pleased with Berlitz, especially my instructors. I am bothered, though, by the audio portion of the lessons. One of my instructors (I can't remember which one) agreed that the audio is much too fast for a student/learner to follow. She said that even she had trouble keeping up with them. Please have the imaginary speakers in the audo portions slow down! i appreciate Berlitz's willingness to design a curriculum more in line with what I am interested in learning about. Special kudos to Nancy Sorial, Melissa Kovacevic and the rest of the team that handles my account!

GBScam This FLEX thing is the biggest scam in all the exciting learning programs. The app / "lessons" before getting someone to talk are useless and a big waste of time. So it's super expensive for nothing, and when you have already paid and you try to change, they don't care about their customers' feedback and just ask to pay more if you want to change for another super expensive program... avoid at all cost!
