I took the Beginner Bootcamp at Baselang (intensive format with 4 hours per day) and was absolutely thrilled. It was well-structured, motivating and I made clear and fast progress — exactly what you would want from an immersive language program. That’s why I enrolled in the Intermediate Bootcamp afterwards, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. While the teachers were kind and capable of explaining grammar, there was little to no preparation, no personalized structure and I was often left to suggest topics or activities myself. Videos and texts were usually selected during the lesson, not before. My specific weak points were not systematically addressed. Furthermore, there was also a lack of positive feedback — I rarely received confirmation when I used grammar correctly, which left me unsure whether I was actually improving or not. For more advanced learners (B1 or above), what’s really needed is a teacher who comes prepared, identifies areas for improvement, and actively guides the student. That didn’t happen here. As a result, my motivation — which had been very high — dropped significantly. Bottom line: The Beginner Bootcamp is excellent and highly recommended. The Intermediate Bootcamp lacks structure and personalization and is not suitable for advanced learners. At that point, you’d be better off finding a dedicated private teacher who can prepare lessons and support your individual learning goals.

The system is perfect, but its only suitable for latin America. if you want to learn to speak Spanish from Spain it does not work. The classes dont incorporate the conjugations and specific words for Spain. To bad.. because it's a good platform for the rest.

I don't like it when the teacher is not ready on the class, some teachers took 2-3 minutes to open the file for the lessons and also some teachers say goodbye 7 or 6 minutes early which I know is 5minutes

I have been using Baselang for 3 months and so far it has been very helpful in helping me to improve my Spanish. There a re a lot of things Baselang does not tell you though in terms of moving through the curriculum and how the tutors keep track of your progress. Also, there hundreds of tutors, but thus far I have only found a couple who teach in a way where I truly feel comfortable and that distinguishes itself from classroom learning.

The entire website needs an overhaul. It's design is about 10 years out of date. Navigating the website could be more intuitive. Only being allowed to "like" instructors every week is medieval. And, only being able to "like" a max of 3 instructors is very limiting as once selected you can schedule the instructor more days in advance. The quality of instructors varies greatly -- from very good to not so much.

It works fairly well. No issues finding tutors on demand. Could be a bit more streamlined, especially if there was an app. Pretty expensive though

It’s good but not great, it’s a lot of words that aren’t used a lot in real life. I don’t like that I don’t get the same teacher every time. I’m debating on canceling, but I found one teacher that I really like

I would have given 5 stars but I took two stars away because BaseLang uses Zoom. I'm been teaching English online with multiple companies over the past 9 years, and almost all have their own platforms with the lessons already there. It's quick, saves time, and more professional. Zoom has problems. Teachers have to find, pull up and download classes, and some times it takes up to 5 minutes. The audio and visual quality with Zoom is very poor as well. Very disappointed that BaseLang uses Zoom. For the $179 a month that I pay, I do expect something more professional and something that doesn't waste 2-5 minutes of my class waiting on teachers to pull up my class. I like everything else about BaseLang. I just wish you didn't use Zoom.
