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.

You can login and try the first lesson for free, but after that you need to subscribe for more access. There are several subscription options:

  • Monthly — $12.95
  • Quarterly — $26.85
  • Semi-annually — $44.70
  • Annually — $83.40

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

I used Babbel for a small amount of time while learning Japanese, and from my personal experience I found the layout sloppy, and didn't enjoy the lessons. It's most likely my personal opinion, but I was never very fond of the app.

Babbel has been great in helping me learn Italian. I like how they mostly teach words and phrases that are important when communicating with others, so im not just full of random knowledge.

I think that Babbel is a great language learning software, it teaches you and then tests you. The only downside is there isn't really a free version

Babel has been a very good experience I wish I could give it more time. It is fun to work on just like talking with other people in conversation.

I used Babbel to try and learn Spanish but didn’t have the best results. It wasn’t as interactive as other programs.
