Babbel

Babbel is a language learning platform and app that was launched in 2007. It offers instruction in more than 10 languages and focuses on getting learners ready for real-world conversations. It uses speech recognition technology, just like Duolingo and Rosetta stone to help you learn proper pronunciation.

Lessons are 10–15 minutes each and meant to fit in with your busy schedule. Babbel is accessible online or via Android and iOS apps.

There is a 20-day money-back guarantee with any subscription purchase. Users can login with Facebook or Google for easy access.
