Everybody’s got a language they’d really love to learn. Maybe you have relatives in South America and really wish you knew Spanish. Or perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe and want to drink your way through Hamburg in the native German. Maybe you’re like most English speakers and really marvel at the grace and beauty of the French language.
With Babbel Language Learning, you can satisfy your need to know more about the world around you by learning a key language that could open so many new doors of understanding. And since picking up a new language has been proven to improve problem-solving, memory, creative thinking, spatial skills, and your overall attitude about the world in general, the impact of adding another language to your abilities could have implications beyond simply boosting your communication skills.
Babbel has built a digital empire on its finely-tuned language learning system, a vast archive of more than 10,000 hours of content crafted by a team of more than 100 expert linguists and teachers. With a Babbel subscription, all you have to do is choose your language from one of Babbel’s 14 available options ranging from widely-used languages like Spanish, French, or Italian to less ventured choices like Polish, Swedish, or Turkish.
With your language chosen, the Babbel method kicks in, using an immersive learning style that isn’t like that boring old language course back in high school. Babbel’s approach keys to contextual learning, building up vocabulary and grammar skills quickly through practice and conversation in a handful of foundational real-world subjects.
From ordering in a restaurant to asking for directions to building a relationship, Babbel courses get students talking right away, learning simple greetings, basic questions, and other practical words and phrases. This approach not only gets the talking started, but it also helps the learning stick, introducing content that progresses more easily from a person’s short-term to long-term memory through immediate repetitive use.
In addition to the short 10 minute lessons sized to fit anyone’s busy schedule anywhere, Babbel supplements that learning with a host of extras, including games, podcasts, articles, videos, and even live online classes to augment the app courses and let students really sink into the training.
Meanwhile, Babbel’s personalized lesson reviews inspect that training, using speech recognition technology to make sure you’re speaking your new language as well as you’re understanding it. Armed with that knowledge, Babbel feels comfortable telling students that with the recommended training, they can be speaking confidently in their new language in as little as three weeks.
Right now, you can get 50% off full lifetime access to all of Babbel’s 14 language options and up to 55% off regular subscription tiers. Just head to the Babbel website, pick your language, and start exploring.
