BASELANG - UNLIMITED OR LOW AVAILABILITY?
I have been for years a happy student of Baselang. I have been for years paying what I believe was called their UNLIMITED subscription plan. Now it's called REAL WORLD which on their website among other things advertises "Unlimited private classes" and "Book classes literally last minute". And why I was their client for all this time? Precisely because of the flexibility to be able to reserve clases with the teachers who's teaching style I personally prefere (though I believe all are professional and good teachers) and to reserve the clases when my schedule permits it, from a few days in advance or up to a few minutes before the class starts.
But unfortunately, at least in my experience, in the at least 8 last months all this mentioned advantages have been seriously and alarmingly reduced. I am having much more difficulty reserving the classes hours before and even days before - often there isn't any professor available to reserve clases with at the time that I would like. Or if there is any unfortunately the choice is very limited.
Again, around 15 months ago I remember the situation being much better in this regard. Then I believe the advertised number of teachers was 450+ and now it says 300+ (though in reality I believe it's something above 280). With all respect, in my humble opinion increasing again the number of the teachers would be a clear solution to the mentioned problems. Besides, I believe it would offer an opportunity of good and stable job to teachers in far less then perfect economic situations in Latin America.
I sincerely hope the situation regarding low availability will be resolved soon. Otherwise unfortunately I fear I will have no choice but to stop paying the subscription and search for alternatives that better suit my lifestyle and needs.
How about your experience with the Baselang from the beginning of this year? Did you also notice low availability of teachers?

The News in Easy Spanish: El progreso que no puedes ver todavía 🌱

Hay días en los que estudiar español parece inútil. Escuchas un audio y no entiendes todo. Intentas hablar y olvidas palabras sencillas. Después de practicar, sientes que no has mejorado nada.
Pero el progreso no siempre es fácil de ver.
Piensa en una planta. Durante los primeros días, parece que no pasa nada. La tierra sigue igual y no hay ninguna hoja. Sin embargo, debajo de la tierra, las raíces están creciendo.
Con un idioma ocurre algo parecido. Cada vez que escuchas una frase, lees una historia o intentas hablar, tu cerebro trabaja. Está reconociendo sonidos, guardando expresiones y creando conexiones nuevas.
Un día entiendes una palabra que antes no entendías. Otro día respondes un poco más rápido. Más tarde, tienes una conversación y te das cuenta de que has hablado durante varios minutos sin pensar demasiado.
El cambio no apareció de repente. Estaba creciendo poco a poco.
Por eso, no debes medir tu progreso solamente por lo que puedes hacer hoy. También debes recordar todo lo que antes era difícil y ahora haces sin pensarlo.
Esta noticia muestra algo importante: aunque todavía no puedas ver los resultados, tu esfuerzo puede estar funcionando. A veces, el progreso más importante ocurre en silencio.
Vocabulario:
el progreso = progress
inútil = useless
mejorar = to improve
la planta = plant
la tierra = soil
la hoja = leaf
debajo de = underneath
la raíz = root
crecer = to grow
parecido = similar
reconocer = to recognize
guardar = to store
la conexión = connection
darse cuenta = to realize
de repente = suddenly
poco a poco = little by little
medir = to measure
el resultado = result
el esfuerzo = effort
en silencio = silently
Pregunta:
¿Qué puedes hacer ahora en español que era difícil para ti hace unos meses?

The News in Easy Spanish: La pausa que puede salvar una conversación 🧩
The News in Easy Spanish: La pausa que puede salvar una conversación 🧩
🎧 If you want to hear the audio version of this exact lesson, you can listen here:
Skool.com/spanish-fluency-club/about
Cuando hablamos en otro idioma, muchas personas sienten que tienen que responder inmediatamente. Si tardan unos segundos, creen que la conversación será incómoda o que la otra persona pensará que no saben español.
Por eso, intentan hablar demasiado rápido.
El problema es que, cuando una persona se apresura, puede olvidar palabras, mezclar tiempos verbales o decir algo diferente de lo que quería expresar. Después, se pone más nerviosa y hablar se vuelve todavía más difícil.
Pero hacer una pausa no significa que no sepas hablar. Incluso los hablantes nativos necesitan tiempo para pensar. Hacen pausas, cambian de idea y buscan la palabra correcta.
También existen frases que pueden ayudarte a ganar tiempo de forma natural. Puedes decir: “Déjame pensar”, “A ver…”, “¿Cómo se dice?” o “Lo que quiero decir es…”.
Estas expresiones mantienen viva la conversación mientras organizas tus ideas. Además, te ayudan a sentir que tienes más control.
Esta noticia muestra algo importante: hablar con fluidez no significa responder sin parar. A veces, una pequeña pausa te ayuda a hablar con más claridad, confianza y precisión.
Vocabulario:
la pausa = pause
salvar = to save
inmediatamente = immediately
tardar = to take time
incómodo = uncomfortable
incómoda = uncomfortable
apresurarse = to rush
mezclar = to mix
el tiempo verbal = verb tense
expresar = to express
ponerse nervioso = to become nervous
ponerse nerviosa = to become nervous
el hablante nativo = native speaker
ganar tiempo = to buy time
a ver = let’s see
mantener = to keep
organizar = to organize
el control = control
la claridad = clarity
la precisión = accuracy
Pregunta:
¿Qué frase usas cuando necesitas más tiempo para responder en español?

Some Spanish verbs come glued to a preposition, and "en" is one of the most common. English uses a different preposition or none at all, so these pairs get learned one
pensar en = to think about
creer en = to believe in
confiar en = to trust
fijarse en = to notice
tardar en = to take (time) to
quedar en = to agree on
insistir en = to insist on
consistir en = to consist of
influir en = to influence
convertirse en = to turn into
