Mandarin Chinese

Founded in 2004, BASE is conveniently located in Downtown Boston, steps from all subway lines. On-site group or private classes can be arranged at your workplace in the comfort of your office, in your home, or another convenient location, whatever is best for you.

Courses have been held in locations such as Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, Dorchester, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, and Lexington, among many other on-site locations. Not only do people learn a language at BASE for professional goals, but also for travel, family, the plain love of languages, and other personal reasons.

We welcome you to BASE to fulfill your language learning and cultural needs. The most popular Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Farsi, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Korean courses at BASE are Weekly and Semi-intensive, but we also run Intensive and Ultra-intensive programs. 

Thousands of students have come to the BASE to learn a new language, improving their conversational abilities by commuting from as far as Portland, ME, Providence, RI, Cape Cod, Worcester, and Northampton, MA. Students come from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds such as social work, medicine, law, business, and education, among many other fields. 

Throughout the pandemic, BASE has met the language learning needs of people from around the US and overseas. Although we don’t currently run group Spanish classes for children, please visit our Private Learning page to arrange for private or semi-private Spanish classes for children.
