Agree fully with this...It does not show anything about your ability during the course using Spanish... for all i know you dont speak a word of spanish.....of course you do... but you get my point....
Thanks for sharing your experience with Baseline. Maybe the two of you could do a short conversation in Spanish. What kind of work does your boyfriend do in Mexico? Does he need to use Spanish in his work?
New subscriber. Look forward to bingeing on your videos. I just today signed up for RocketSpanish. Plan to spend a lot of time in Mexico. Haven't heard of this Spanish program before.
I’m interested in the grammarless program and checking reviews. I have tons of time because of my location/career so I can easily do 4hrs a day. What I would really like to know is were the both of your truly able to speak “Conversational Spain” at the completion of the grammarless course? Kind regards...
It would be really interesting to know in a little more detail the kind of things you felt you could easily discuss by the time you finished grammarless. Just in order to get a realistic expectation of what kind of level you can expect to be when completing the course. I’m currently waiting to be assigned a teacher for the program myself and would really like to know how to adjust my expectations
@@ba8898 very much a beginner. I have a good grasp of some basic grammar, understand well a lot if conjugations and a basic set of vocabulary, but I’m far from conversational. I always get quite nervous and forget things when it comes to speak. I did a month of real world last year and got to level 3. But I haven’t progressed a lot since then and didn’t continue with baselang at the time.
@@Jmb90 honestly, didn’t have a good time with grammarless at all. Apart from the sheer amount of hours spent with the language, I didn’t feel that the course itself was great. Even got a free month of real world after I complained about the course. Not sure if it was just the teacher I got, would of rather they offered me another go at the course with someone else. If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d consider trying it again. But currently I just couldn’t recommend it.
@@danielbazinga How was your actual Spanish after completing the course? Was there a significant increase in your ability to speak Spanish or did you get to a conversational level?
Thank you too you and Alex (Backpacking Brunette). I checked other posts and ratings then signed up. (maybe I wont thank you later....LOL) Love your channel, Stay well
The curriculums are quite different. Grammarless is a set program that lasts for 80 hours (either one or two months, up to you). It is immersive and you have the same teacher for the whole course. You have lessons the same days every week at the same time eevery week and you can’t really change it. Real world is more self guided. There is a curriculum but there are no set hours. You choose your hours every day and you choose your teachers. You can study one hour a day or three hours a day or not at all.

Hi I was thinking about starting BaseLang. Towards the end of the video I heard him he wouldn’t do the grammarless course again.. I’m not sure why he said that
did you enjoy less structure baseline course that like 150 months unlimited tuoutoring? really want to do but have heard a lot about the quality of teaching. I also want to do this as a precursor to me upcoming transplant to Spain, do you think there are any major reasons that shied deter.me from the course if I plan to be speaking in Spain? \
Unfortunately you didn't answer the one question I cared about! So - I'm already attending a class where I have a teacher in person doing the grammar and all that traditional junk. I really am frustrated at this point that I can understand a lot of stuff listening-wise, but can't have the conversations with people in real life because I trip over my own tongue and need to be forced to just talk, talk, talk with tons of corrections but none of the distraction of a teacher trying to force me to "oh let's do the seasons today" "oh let's talk about animals" today crap. Do they try to stick to some sort of materials or lesson with the unlimited plan at Base Lang? Or can I just schedule a 30 min lesson and say "hey teacher - today _I want to talk about jobs_ everything about my work that I would tell someone in small chat - and that's it" or "hey teacher - today I only want to have pseudo-conversations like we are in a restaurant ordering, nothing else"??? or "Hey teacher today I'm just going to keep talking political ideas - and I want corrections that's it until I explain all my thoughts" Thanks!
So if you do the Real World Classes rather than the Grammarless program, you have total control. You can simply use it to have a conversation class. You can specify exactly what you want to talk about. There are also "electives" where you can choose a topic and then there are questions and vocabulary you can learn as you talk about that topic. While there is a curriculum, you don't necessarily have to go through it if you don't want to.
You know that you can say all of that stuff with your teacher in real life too? They would LOVE if you told them what you wanted, and didn't have to force you to talk about boring stuff. You can (and should) straight up tell your teacher what you want, and how you want it. If they aren't down for that, fire them.
@@kokidchaz4790 Their teachers are paid very poorly by Western standards, which is how they keep their prices low. Someone living in France, Germany, Italy, Japan or Britain would need to be paid significantly more per hour. This could then create issues with labour relations, with the Spanish teachers demanding payment parity with the other teachers. In short, their business model works only because they hire from very low-income countries.
This would have been cool if you tried this all in Spanish with English Subtitles. ..I didn’t hear you guys use what you learned.

Yep. Speak some Spanish in the videos. Inquiring minds want to know.

Whats the difference between grammerless and real-world? Which one do you recommend?

How much does grammerless cost? I already know real world is $149 a month
@@pittykitty6503 $1,200 for Grammarless
Hi I was thinking about starting BaseLang. Towards the end of the video I heard him he wouldn’t do the grammarless course again.. I’m not sure why he said that
Maybe he meant that he wouldn’t do it a second time. “Again” is ambiguous in English.

Did his English accent pose any trouble with the Spanish pronunciations?
