I told Angelica my concerns and expectations for my future instruction. I shared my desire to improve in key areas. She immediately devised a lesson to address these concerns that was instructive, helpful and targeted to my needs. She is very helpful and professional and I look forward to progressing under her direction.

Finally someone got it right with language learning.
Finally someone got it right. The big thing we need is be able to speak naturally not only lesson you have that option with baselang. There are different payment options for every budget (I am a single mom so that helps). You can use the lesson plan or freestyle (solo conversations of your choice) Variety of teachers all nice so far. Big thanks to Juan E. he is a great teacher. I love learning about diff. cultures.

Two really helpful teachers!
The first teacher this evening talked at a faster pace than I had hoped for, but I began to realize that I could understand most of what he was saying and came to appreciate his faster pace. The second teacher was the first BaseLang teacher I have ever had who understood what I needed. He slowed down his speaking enough that it made me work some, but gave me the thrill of being in a Spanish conversation! I enjoyed my hour of BaseLang and look forward to many more hours of it with these two teachers.

Top 10 Reasons I Love Baselang
I’m in my fourth month with Baselang, and I’m so impressed with the amazing program that I felt compelled to write to the founder, Connor Grooms, to thank him and tell him the reasons why I love it. Here are my top 10:
1. The Trial Period
Giving students a week to try the program was simple, yet genius! You could have offered a day, or a few, but a week really gave me the opportunity to test it out. I took over a dozen hours of lessons that week so I was able to evaluate teachers, get comfortable with your website, and check out your customer support.
2. The Teachers
I’ve been so impressed with the quality, and quantity, of the instructors, as well as their training. I’ve worked with a couple dozen so far, and I have more than a few favorites. Although I have a stronger rapport with some of them, I’d feel comfortable taking repeat classes with almost all of them.
I’m benefiting so much from the different teaching styles and areas of emphasis of the instructors. Some correct most of my mistakes, while others let our conversations flow so I can get more confident speaking continuously. Some are sticklers for pronunciation, while others introduce me to slang. A few of the teachers have given me great study tips and recommendations on how to learn the language more effectively. Having a variety of teachers regularly has helped me improve my Spanish tremendously.
3. The Curriculum
There are so many online resources these days to assist people in learning languages that I’ve often found it hard to decide what to study between lessons. Your curriculum solves that problem, and gives me a structure to make sure that my learning is comprehensive.
4. The Electives
What a bonus these are! Just last week I attended a wedding where I knew that a few of the guests would be speaking Spanish. A few days before, I did the “At the Wedding” elective and I was able to speak to them easily.
5. The Flexibility
I love that I can choose what I do in each class! Do I want to do a regular lesson? Fine. How about a lesson in a different level? No problem. Discuss a specific topic or challenge. Sure! Talk about anything or nothing specific? Absolutely!
6. Scheduling
I like to plan, so I typically schedule classes a few days in advance, but the ability to schedule on the spur of the moment is incredible. I love that if I’m going to have a free half hour starting in two minutes I can immediately book and take a lesson.
7. The English Fluency of the Teachers
Although I try to spend most of the time speaking Spanish in my classes, the fact that the teachers I’ve worked with speak such good English is a definite plus. Often, it’s just quicker and more efficient to have something explained in one’s native language!
8. Teacher Videos
I absolutely love that I can view the videos and hear the teachers speak in both Spanish and English before I sign up for a class with them. At my level, I need to be able to understand them easily in both languages.
9. Reliability
In my almost 70 hours of classes so far, I’ve never had a teacher sign on more than a minute or two late. I’ve had occasions where a lesson has run a couple of minutes over because the teacher and I were in the middle of discussing something, so it’s incredible that everything is so prompt.
10. Customer Service
I’ve had a few questions since I started with Baselang, and your customer service people have always answered quickly, efficiently, and in a friendly manner. It’s so nice to know that there’s someone to talk to if issues or questions arise.

Just what I needed!
I am loving my Baselang experience! It’s tailored to me and what I’d like to learn, and all at my pace. You spoil me, Baselang! My conversation partners are patient, encouraging, kind, and fun. So far I’ve worked on the Baselang curriculum, read outside materials, discussed various topics that stretched my vocabulary, and just chatted. I can already tell my listening skills have improved tremendously, plus I’m finding myself thinking in Spanish throughout the day. This is just what I needed to take my language skills to the next level.
