<p>Have you taken a language at berkeley before?</p>

<p>Are you commenting based on actual experience or just your general impression of language classes?</p>
<p>I’m taking Spanish 25 right now- a graduate student will teach the course and determine your actual grades.
The homework load isn’t bad at all. For the whole semester, we only have a total of 4 essays, 3-4 pages each. Readings are expected, but they are not too heavy.</p>
<p>We don’t take our first exam until Monday, so I can’t comment on that.</p>
<p>I can’t comment on the difficulty of getting A’s either- but I received an A- on my first essay, and this is my first Spanish class in two years.</p>
