Boston Area Spanish Exchange (BASE)

About

Boston Area Spanish Exchange, or BASE, is a language school in Downtown Boston, steps from all subway lines. Despite the name, it teaches several languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Farsi, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Korean. Spanish courses run from beginner to advanced, and the school advertises the smallest Spanish classes downtown. Students enroll for professional goals, travel, family or simply a love of languages, and come from fields such as medicine, law, social work, business and education.

Founded in 2004, BASE has taught thousands of students, some commuting from as far as Portland, Maine, Providence, Cape Cod, Worcester and Northampton. Weekly and semi-intensive courses are the most popular formats, and intensive and ultra-intensive programs are also offered. Group or private classes can be held at a workplace, a home or another location, and courses have run in places from Back Bay and Dorchester to Newton and Lexington.
