Basel · the context

One of Europe's most international cities.
500 million reasons to learn Spanish.

01
The city

Highly international, English-dominant

Basel attracts expats from across Europe, the US, and beyond. Most live in English — and many want to add Spanish as the language that opens up travel, relationships, and career opportunities.

02
Careers

A genuine professional edge

Professionals working with Spanish-speaking markets — whether in pharma, finance, trade or tech — gain a real advantage with genuine Spanish fluency in meetings, calls and client relationships.

03
Life & travel

21 countries, one language

Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile — Spanish is the key to 21 countries and cultures. Many Basel expats want it for travel, for a partner's family, or simply because it's one of the world's great languages.

04
Format

Online — no commute to a language school

One hour online, at a time that fits your schedule. No commuting after a full day at work — the lesson comes to you, wherever you are.

Relevance

Built Around What You Actually Need

2
Quality

Native Teacher from Spain

Lessons taught by a native Spanish speaker from Spain — the accent, register and vocabulary that works across Europe and Latin America. Real conversation from the very first session.

3
Flexibility

Fits Around a Demanding Schedule

Early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings. Fully online, no travel. Most Basel-based students do one or two sessions per week without any disruption to their working week or family life.

Quick answers

Questions from Basel-based students

My schedule changes week to week — how does booking work?
Lessons are booked individually rather than locked into a fixed slot. Early morning before the campus, lunch, or evening — whatever works that week. If something comes up, you reschedule. The format is designed for professional calendars that don't follow a fixed pattern.
I need Spanish for both work and daily life — can lessons cover both?
Yes — and that's exactly what most Basel students want. Professional vocabulary for work contexts and conversational Spanish for social life and travel. The balance is set by you and can shift as your needs change.
I already know some Spanish — do I need to start from scratch?
Not at all. We assess your real level in the first lesson — just a conversation, no written test. From there we pick up exactly where you are and build from what you already know.
I travel frequently for work — can lessons continue when I'm away?
Completely. Lessons are fully online and location-independent. Whether you're in Basel, on a business trip, or working remotely — the lesson happens exactly as normal.
How long does it take to reach a usable professional level?
It depends on your starting point, but specific professional vocabulary starts being useful within weeks. From zero: 12–18 months of consistent lessons (1–2 per week) to professional fluency. From a basic level: 6–9 months. The key is consistency.

One lesson a week.
Twelve months.
Fluent Spanish.
