Plus, they were incredibly patient as I stumbled through my very first unplanned and unscripted lessons. The tutors I worked with were all wonderful and fun to talk to. You can reply within the pop-ups with any questions, so it’s really easy to get the help you need. When you get started, there are numerous tutorials and messages to help you get going with the platform. They take notes (in some system somewhere) about what your session covered and what you need/want to work on for other tutors, so moving from lesson to lesson or tutor to tutor is relatively seamless. The tutors are flexible and quickly adapt to your level, making sure that you’re getting what you need from your sessions. Several of them I had across multiple sessions (I used the time availability booking feature rather than tutor based), but I liked the variation because it exposed me to the different ways Spanish natives speak (at least in Venezuela). Over the period that I used Baselang, I worked with six different tutors. I loved that you can book your lessons at the last minute (if you know you’ll have a thirty minute window five minutes from now, you can go ahead and reserve it), but you’re only able to book five days in advance. You can book your lessons by tutor or by availability and sessions are available for 30 minute intervals (but you can book as many consecutive 30 minute sessions as you like). The Technical StuffĬlasses through Baselang are available from 6am to midnight Eastern time and they happen online through Skype. The company got its start following Connor’s project to learn Spanish in a month with Adrian’s help.

The platform is based on the model that one needs to really SPEAK to master a language, and while they offer special Memrise flashcard decks and their digital course book, it isn’t their primary focus.

Founded by Adrian Castañeda and Connor Grooms, Baselang is an online platform that connects you with tutors and offers a “hacked” version of a language course book so that you can maximize your Spanish learning.
