Language apps can give you plenty of vocabulary drills, but understanding how people actually communicate takes more than memorizing words. More than 100 expert linguists developed Babbel, bringing a distinctly human element to its approach to language learning.
That expertise goes into more than 10,000 hours of online language education across 14 languages, including Spanish, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, and more. Lessons take about 10 to 15 minutes, making it easier to fit practice into a normal day instead of turning language learning into another major commitment.
More importantly, the material focuses on situations where you’ll actually want to use what you’ve learned. Topics include dining, transportation, shopping, business, directions, and making friends. Babbel also incorporates speech recognition technology for pronunciation, personalized review sessions to reinforce previous lessons, and an AI Conversation Partner for real-time practice.
