TL;DR: As of July 26, get a lifetime subscription to Babbel Language Learning on sale for only $199.97 instead of $599 in the Mashable Shop. That's 66% in savings.
Learning a new language isn’t easy, but it might open some interesting doors, whether you’re a student, professional, or a traveler with your eyes on the horizon. The trouble is finding the time to sit down and actually study another language. Formal classes may take a while, and some apps are just all about memorization.
If you want a little more control over your learning in a format that actually fits into a busy schedule, try Babbel. Normally, a lifetime subscription would cost $599, but it’s 66% off for a short time for new customers in the U.S.
Why Babbel instead of another language-learning app?
What makes Babbel different is the time commitment per lesson. Other language learning apps might not fit into a busy schedule, but Babbel has bite-sized learning sessions you can start and finish in 10-15 minutes. It’s the difference between sitting down for a full class and just popping in for a lesson or two during your lunch break.
The lessons themselves are super varied, too. Worried about your accent? Practice with speech recognition technology that gives you quick, actionable feedback. Want to learn a few new words? Brush up on your vocabulary on practical topics like family, business, food, and more. You can even get personalized review sessions to help your lessons really sink in. It can be hard to retain a language you aren’t speaking every day, but this might help it stick long enough to actually put all your effort to work abroad.
Install Babbel on an unlimited number of devices and sync your progress across them. If you started studying Turkish on your tablet, you won’t have to go back to the beginning on your MacBook.
This subscription lets you access beginner to advanced language lessons for Spanish, Italian, French, German, Swedish, and more, totalling 14 different languages. It’s a lot to learn, but you get a lifetime to do it — and there aren’t any recurring charges to worry about.
