Baselang Review: One of the best (if you put in the effort!)

by

Baselang is an online Spanish tutoring service, where you can get high-quality one-on-one tutoring classes. Is it worth your time and money? Let's find out in this Baselang Review.

In this review, we'll take a look at the types of services the platform offers, and how its “Real World” subscription differs from its “Grammarless” programme. We'll also dissect the pricing of both programs, and see if it's worth the cost. At the end of this review, you should have a good idea of whether Baselang will work for your language-learning needs.

Update January, 2024:

Prices are increasing to $179/mo on January 7th. You can lock in the lower rate of $149/mo forever by subscribing before this date.

Baselang has also upgraded their proprietary platform and curriculum:

  • Better teacher search engine, including nationality filters so that you can easily discover teachers according to your needs.
  • A dramatically improved curriculum with more detailed lessons, interactive games, and good-looking slides
  • Saved chat history: Now any chat between you and your teacher is saved directly on the platform (this stays even if you cancel the subscription and return at a later date!)

Click here to join Baselang before the price increases ($1 first week, $10 off first month, $149/mo after this.)
