Babbel is a wonderful and intuitive way of learning a foreign language on your own schedule and with helpful, interactive sessions and reviews. I took Spanish for a while and though I eventually ended my subscription, it was only due to a lack of time on my part. The fee is very reasonable, and the sessions combine different skills that are needed in learning the Language. I found it to be an extremely good and convenient app for language instruction.

I used Babbel to learn some French before traveling to France for a month. I loved that the lessons were very time efficient and I could do them anywhere from my phone. I was able to successfully communicate the essentials in France thanks to Babbel!

Babbel is great. I love that you can start out by trying a portion of the program for free to help you decide if you want to proceed. Their membership is affordable and I feel like I've learned so much from the program. Their exercises really are what make it fun. I highly recommend Babbel!

I've tried many things to learn a language and this helped Product helped tremendously, I have always tried to learn a different language, but this has been the most effective. It has really helped me learn Spanish to be able to have a basic conversation.

I like how Babbel is different from other language learning apps. This one lets you practice conversations. Tools are very reliable. There is a lot more variety of tools to learn here, such as reading, speaking, audio visuals, and etc. Love this app!

A little more robust language training if you've graduated from DuoLingo. Give it a whirl world traveler.

Babbel is a great place to learn different languages. It is similar to Duolingo.
