BaseLang’s Progression System – How it Works

The BaseLang progression system allows students to track their progress as they complete lessons with BaseLang.

The BaseLang Real World curriculum is structured from level 0 (basics) to level 9 (advanced).

In the My Progress section, you will see your BaseLang Level which is a representation of your social fluency. This score is based on the number of lessons completed at each level.

How Do I Increase My BaseLang Level?

In the below example, you can see that the BaseLang Level is 3.

You can also see a description of the level you are currently on, along with information on what the level entails. This top section shows your progress through the curriculum as a whole (with the idea that once you complete level 9, you are socially fluent). The progress bar indicates your progress through the entire curriculum.

Level 3 Progress shows a summary of core lessons and electives already completed and left to complete for that level. Your progress bar around the number here indicates your progress through that particular level.

In this example, there are 8/10 core lessons completed, which means there are 2 more core lessons.

Likewise, there are a few electives to be completed. You can take any elective to fulfill this requirement – the idea is that you are learning vocabulary related to your interests.

Marking Lessons As Completed

Once you complete lessons or electives with your teacher, you can visit the core lessons (or elective) area yourself and mark each new lesson complete.

Once you mark everything as complete, you’ll notice that your progress score has increased when you return to the My Progress section (or the Dashboard).

Do I Need To Take The End-Of-Level Test?

We recommend all students take the end-of-level tests. However, it’s not mandatory.

If you decide to skip the test, then your progress level number will not increase, as we won’t be able to guarantee that you are at the correct level. The idea behind the BaseLang level number is that we guarantee that you have that level.

Taking the test allows us to ensure that you are at the required level of Spanish before advancing to the next level.

Do I Have To Use This Progress System?

No, this system is completely optional.

If you have a level of 3 for instance, you can still take a class from level 7 if you want, or do anything else.

This system is in place so we can guarantee your level, to guide you through the process of reaching fluency in the ideal path, and so you can see your progress (even when you can’t feel it).

Other Features

Electives Progress:  As part of the curriculum, electives are introduced as a requirement, starting at Level 3. These lessons are designed to immerse you in real-world contexts. They help reinforce vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency through topics ranging from daily life situations to specialized subjects like science, business, and pop culture. The idea is, once you have 100% in one of these elective categories, you can speak about that topic with no issues!
