How Long Will It Take Me...?
We get a lot of questions about how long it will take to get to a certain level with BaseLang. Here’s our best approximation:
-
Conversational
We define conversational as being able to effectively have complete conversations in social settings, when talking about typical topics and your interests. It’s not always easy, but most things you don’t have too much difficulty with. While advanced students will also benefit from BaseLang, beginners who want to become conversational will see the fastest progress, by far. We estimate roughly 120 hours for someone with no experience to get to this level using our methods.*
-
Highly Fluent
We define fluency as being able to effectively have complete conversations with similar comfort and ease as one’s native language in social settings, when talking about a wider range of typical topics and your interests. Different students will need a higher or lower level depending on their interests and what they have conversations about, and thus this is a blurry, approximate level. We estimate roughly 350 hours for someone with no experience to get to this level using our methods.*

Letter from the founders
It all started 9 years ago when this crazy gringo arrived in Colombia with one goal: to learn Spanish in a month. By throwing out the traditional methods, stripping the curriculum down to the essentials, and focusing on speaking, Adrian helped Connor succeed.
Here’s the thing. People know that immersion is the fastest way to learn. But not everyone can stop their life, move to a Spanish-speaking country for a month, and dedicate themselves to learning.
That’s why we created BaseLang. Our unlimited one-on-one classes make you feel like you’re living with a native speaker. According Forbes, it’s “the closest thing to immersion you can get without moving to a Spanish-speaking country.”

FAQ
We have teachers from all over Latin America - mostly from Colombia or Venezuela, but also from Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru. While we don’t have any teachers from Spain, we do have a number of teachers who have experience teaching Castilian Spanish (Spanish from Spain).
Yes. Most teachers do speak English, but we also have a ton of teachers who only speak Spanish. The idea is that as you progress through our programs, you’ll eventually switch to using teachers who only speak Spanish.
BaseLang has classes available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. You can book classes at the very last minute (literally), or book five days in advance to plan ahead.
Simply log into the platform and cancel your class. There’s no penalty for cancelling a class, and and teachers get paid regardless of whether you take the class or not.

Absolutely! Whether you do five hours a month, or five hours every day, the price is the same. In fact, we want you to take lots of classes so that you replicate an immersive environment. That way you'll see your Spanish progress explode.

Each program has it’s own curriculum with lessons that you can follow with a teacher, not to mention the fact that we’ll give you access to our free flashcard course that you can use to reinforce what you covered in each class. For students who want extra practice, we even have homework lessons that you can do outside of class.
