Love it!

First of all, I’ve met some really wonderful people from Spanish speaking countries. Most of them are great teachers and really fun to talk to you. The curriculum has helped my Spanish a lot. I love that. there’s so many choices of things to do in each class. You can do the core curriculum or elective or conversation or a combination. It’s very entertaining, and a great learning experience. I’ve really enjoyed it and do it for more than I planned on. Because it’s so much fun. Last but not least the website is so great—easy to navigate and very easy to book or change classes.

Good program, but teacher side needs work

Overall this is a great program in general in terms of curriculum, though the teaching side could use some work. These are not always trained teachers and it is very clear in classes where the teacher is just there to read off a script and not really be there for the student. Of course, they're also not paid well either, which from a moral side of view eventually put me off using the program altogether. I was also told by a teacher doing my mandatory placement exam that I should be B1 in the curriculum, even though 2 weeks later I passed the C1 DELE exam, so I'm not sure why the teacher was so off point.

BaseLang is exactly what I was looking…

BaseLang is exactly what I was looking for.

I have found the quality of the materials and tutors to be better than better than I was previously paying >$20/h + fees for on Italki (sample size 5 tutors on Italki and 35 on BaseLang).

Before joining BaseLang, I also did a trial on WorldsAcross and have much preferred the structure BaseLang.

BaseLang tutors are friendly and conversation classes are available. But at my beginner level, I like working through the curiculum rather than feeling overfaced that I can't hold a basic conversation.

The tutors ask how I want to spend the lesson but they are the teachers and I am the student so I like that there is a clear structure to follow when I don't know what I want to do. The tutors are well trained and familar with the content so even the 25 mins feels productive.

The availability of tutors is a lot better than WorldAcross, I can have a lesson whenever I want. And the flexibility is better than Italki.

I don't usually bother leaving reviews but think all aspects of the product are spot on. Even the customer service chat has been excellent.

I'd recomend to anyone. Unfortunately, I only have one friend interested in learning Spanish.

My BaseLang Experience

I’ve had an excellent overall experience with BaseLang. The one-on-one, on-demand format is extremely valuable, and I find this far more effective than the years I spent studying other languages in high school and college. The personalized approach makes learning less intimidating, and the consistency of working with individual teachers helps build real relationships that make the process even more engaging.

One recommendation would be for teacher profiles to clearly highlight whether they prefer working with beginners, structured lessons, or more conversational practice. While many already do this, I’ve occasionally matched with teachers who seemed more inclined toward conversation, which can make beginner lessons feel less natural.

Another area for improvement is around scheduling. If teachers need to cancel a class or plan to be unavailable for a period of time, proactively canceling those sessions in advance would be really helpful.

Overall, though, BaseLang has been a fantastic and superior experience for language learning, and I would strongly recommend it.

I recommend BaseLang to anyone attempting Spanish

I haven't had a bad BaseLang session yet. All the instructors have been very helpful and patient. The website lessons are constructive, although I usually do them solo because it seems wasteful to have an instructor walk me through them. What I especially like is the BaseLang blog, which has the best instruction in learning Spanish that I've found anywhere.

Terrible and unprofessional

I would not recommend this so called “academy” to anyone. The curriculum is extremely poor and feels completely unstructured, like they just throw things together at the last minute. The teachers are unprofessional, and most of them can’t even explain things properly in English. Communication is frustrating because of their heavy accents and lack of clarity, and it makes the whole learning process confusing. Instead of helping, they make it harder to understand.
It quickly becomes obvious why this place is so cheap it’s because the quality is just as low. If you’re serious about learning Spanish, save yourself the time and money and look elsewhere.

Hands down the best thing I’ve found for learning Spanish. Has greatly increased my knowledge and understanding of the language in a few weeks. I’ve used every app available to learn and always found myself wanting more. Having someone to talk to and teach me face to face every night has been a game changer. Highly recommend to anyone that really wants to learn.

The BaseLang curriculum was just what I needed to learn Spanish, and I particularly appreciate the focus on conversation. In person, all the teachers are great. Online, it took me a bit to find teachers that I worked well with, but they made it easy to book my favorites in advance. I felt very shy about speaking Spanish, and they really helped me become comfortable.
