Get to Know the Baselang Team
The goal of Baselang’s native Spanish teachers is to help students become conversational in Spanish, using a unique approach that emphasizes speaking and listening over traditional grammar-based teaching. This method fosters an engaging and interactive learning environment, where students actively practice and use Spanish in daily conversations, allowing them to build the confidence needed to communicate fluently.

Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm from Venezuela but I've been living in Medellin for over 6 years now. I'm very passionate about art (movies, books) and getting to meet new people from all over the world. In class I like to challenge my students, help them reach their goals, but I can also be adaptable and adjust to their different needs and learning styles. If this sounds like what you're looking for then I'll be seeing you in class!
Manuela Lara
About me:
I’m from Colombia, and I love simple things like listening to music, watching series, and, of course, eating French fries.
I enjoy good conversations and learning about different cultures, which is one of the reasons I love teaching Spanish. I really like meeting new people and helping them feel comfortable while learning.
In my classes, you can practice Spanish in a natural way. My goal is to create a friendly and relaxed space where you can build confidence and improve your Spanish step by step.
So if you’re looking for a supportive place to practice Spanish and have good conversations, I’d be very happy to learn with you.

Meet our staff
Reinaldo José Díaz
About me:
Hi! I’m a Spanish teacher with over 10 years of experience, and for the past decade, I’ve been working with Baselang. Even though I’m a journalist by training, teaching Spanish has become my true passion. I’ve dedicated years to preparing myself as a teacher, and I genuinely enjoy helping others learn.
I have a special love for grammar—yes, grammar! I believe it’s not as boring as people think; it just takes the right approach to make it fun and engaging. Outside the classroom, I’m really into rock music, sports, and staying active with regular workouts.
I’m always up for a good conversation and more than happy to help out, so if you see me around, don’t hesitate to come say hi!
Walter Andrés Ocampo Amaya
About me:
My name is Walter, and I'm a passionate advocate for communication, culture, and the magic that happens when we bring language to life. Teaching a language is not just about mastering grammar rules and vocabulary; it's about connecting with people and building bridges between cultures. I believe in creating an immersive and enjoyable learning experience where every class feels like a journey of discovery. I'm a firm believer that real learning happens in the flow of conversation. That's why I encourage the students not only to speak the language but to engage in meaningful dialogues that reflect the richness of human communication. As a language teacher, I strive to create an environment where curiosity thrives, mistakes are embraced as opportunities to learn, and laughter is the soundtrack of our shared journey. Language learning should be an adventure, and I'm excited to embark on this journey with you.
