Most of the teachers are helpful and have good teaching methods and some are not helpful at all. If I leave feeling good about my progress I’m motivated to continue but some leave me frustrated and anxious.

1 month in - love the conversations with real people!
I've been using BaseLang for about a month now, and there are a lot of things I really love about it!
**The flexibility is fantastic.** I can find just about any 30–60 minute opening in my day, and there are usually several teachers from all over Latin America available. I can choose whether I want to spend that time simply having a conversation or working through a structured lesson.
One of the biggest benefits for me is **the accountability of meeting with a real person.** I've tried other language-learning apps that rely on AI conversations or gamified lessons, but having an actual appointment with another human makes me much more likely to show up. And knowing that teaching is part of someone's livelihood makes me think twice before canceling!
I also think the pricing hits a sweet spot. It's expensive enough that I'm motivated to use it and get my money's worth, but SO much more affordable than hiring a private tutor.
The teachers have been a mixed bag. I've had a few who seemed to just go through the motions, but I've also found some fantastic ones! Thankfully, I can save my favorites and continue booking with them. I especially love getting to know people from different countries, hearing about their lives, and learning about their cultures and experiences. That part of language learning is genuinely fun for me.
**Where I think BaseLang falls short is in the curriculum and independent study materials.** I don't find the lesson plans particularly robust or well structured for learning and retaining new information. The homework is also difficult to do independently because there's no built-in way to check my answers or know whether my grammar is correct. As a result, I usually save the homework to work through with a teacher instead of doing it on my own.
I really wish the core lessons, electives, and homework offered better opportunities for self-guided learning and reinforcement between classes. I want to be able to study independently, not just during my scheduled sessions.
On a positive note, customer service has been incredibly responsive!
**My overall impression:** I'm enjoying BaseLang enough that I'm signing up for another month while I continue adapting to this learning style. I would absolutely recommend it to someone who needs more speaking practice, flexibility, and accountability. However, I wouldn't recommend it as strongly to someone looking for a comprehensive, sequential curriculum with strong independent study tools.
For me, the real value is the human connection, the conversation practice, and having someone expecting me to show up. That's what keeps me coming back!

On demand lessons
I love that I can book a lesson with just a few minutes notice. Also that I can mark my favorite teachers so I become more comfortable with them.
Being able to access the lessons to study between classes is very beneficial.

Baselang is a great place to learn…
Baselang is a great place to learn Spanish. The teachers are all native speakers. I've been studying with Baselang for over 2 years and I've had different teachers in that time. The nice thing is... that when I find a teacher that I click with I will stay with that teacher. There are many teachers to choose from and the availability is wonderful. Some teachers also speak English and in the beginning that was a big help for me. I now only use Spanish speaking teachers and it has helped me by forcing me to speak and not worrying about making mistakes. I would highly recommend Baseline if you are looking for a great place to learn how to speak Spanish!
