Description
Learn Spanish, French, Italian, German, and many more languages with Babbel, the shortest path to real-life conversations in a new language. Developed by a team of language learning experts, Babbel has helped millions of people speak a new language with confidence.
The Babbel Method
Here’s what makes Babbel more effective than any other language learning app:
1. Confidence — Our goal is to get you speaking from your very first lesson. And our elegantly designed courses give you the confidence to get there. We teach you how to engage in practical, everyday conversations, making it easier for you to have authentic experiences in your new language.
2. Comprehension — Our lessons immerse you in relevant culture and real-life conversations. We want you to really take in the language, not just memorize useless phrases. And we provide helpful hints in English (or your native language) to make your new language more relatable.
3. Retention — We know you’re busy. That’s why our lessons are short but sweet: about 10-15 minutes, and designed to send your new language straight to long-term memory. We regularly refresh your memory with our dynamic review sessions, which target areas where you need improvement most. Finally, we make sure you really grasp what you’re learning by bringing it back later in a new context.

Customer Reviews
Not happy with sign up tech
I used the app to sign up, I gave my payment info and selected the 3 month payment, the interface then moved me to their online platform which then prompted me to again select a payment option which was confusing. I selected one and gave another payment. Turns out they double charged me twice the first payment then three months later charged twice again. Essentially charging $100 total for 6 months when it should have been $40 total for 6 months. They would only refund me half of what they over charged. I am happy to pay a proper amount for what I signed up for but it occurred to me this company purposefully prompts double payments. The language program is enjoyable. But I'm not a fan of a built in stealing system.
Amateurish!
Interface is cheap, photos terrible and lags. Also: I wrote customer service before I purchased and ask if the Spanish was Mexican as described. Answer; yes. It's not! Spanish of Spain is more like it. Latin American Spanish is completely different and Mexican even more so. After I wrote again I received a different answer saying the program covers a little bit of Spanish of all countries. In my opinion this is not a good faith company. They simply want your money and move on!
In-App keyboard missing some Symbols
This is a great app. It's convenient and very addictive. I noticed that the in-app keyboard is missing some very important symbols used in other languages. The result is that I get some answers wrong on the written questions. Nonetheless, this is a great way to learn the basics of a language.
