Is BaseLang worth it?
Yes, if you want to speak Spanish with a teacher most days: on Real World the price stays the same however many classes you take.
What it costs. Month to month, Real World Lite is $99 and Real World is $179; Bootcamp (80 hours) is $1200.
What's free. No free tier; the first week of Real World or Real World Lite costs $1.
Skip it if you want a teacher from Spain, or only a class or two a week: its teachers are from Latin America, and the monthly price is the same however few classes you take.
