With a wide array of language learning apps and products available, you may wonder why so many learners choose Babbel as their preferred learning companion.
Expertly crafted content
At Babbel, we have a dedicated team of over 150 professionals, including linguists, language teachers, polyglots, instructional designers, editors, and researchers, all working together to create our courses. They understand that the learning needs of an English speaker studying Spanish differ significantly from those of a French speaker doing the same.
To provide the most effective learning experience, we ensure that all 100,000 hours of our content is voiced by native speakers, so you start learning the language accurately from day one. These experts are at the heart of our proven Babbel Method, committed to giving you the best possible journey in language learning.
Proven effectiveness
At Babbel, we take pride in our expert-driven approach, which is why we also seek validation from independent researchers. Our effectiveness has been rigorously tested by esteemed institutions such as Yale University, Michigan State University, the City University of New York, and the University of South Carolina.
What did they discover about us? Researchers at Yale found that after just three months of using Babbel, every participant improved their oral proficiency. Additionally, studies from the City University of New York and the University of South Carolina revealed that beginners learning Spanish needed only 15 hours of study to achieve the equivalent of one college semester class. Finally, linguists at Michigan State University reported that nearly all learners saw improvements in vocabulary, grammar, and oral communication after just 10 hours with Babbel.
These and other findings highlight our commitment to effective language learning and our dedication to helping you succeed.
Commitment to innovation
Founded over a decade ago, Babbel was the first language-learning app in the ed-tech market. While we take pride in being pioneers, our commitment to innovation remains strong. We closely monitor user progress in our courses and make adjustments based on your needs. For example, if we see that many learners are struggling with a particular course, we take action to make it more accessible and understandable.
At Babbel, our commitment to innovation includes staying up-to-date with new technologies. That's why we are progressively incorporating AI tools into our products. For example, we recently launched features like ‘AI-Enhanced Speech Recognition’ and 'Everyday Conversations' on our language learning platform. These tools are designed to empower users to practice speaking with confidence in real-life situations, enhancing their overall learning experience and helping them communicate more effectively.
Relevant and engaging content
Babbel offers over 60,000 lessons covering a diverse range of topics. We go beyond just teaching the basics of a language; our courses include specific themes such as travel, family, work, living abroad, holidays, dialects, cuisine, and more.
You won’t be restricted to a predetermined learning path or required to "level up" to access new courses. With a Babbel subscription, you gain immediate access to all the learning content for your chosen language, and we continually add new specialized courses for you to explore.
Our commitment is to ensure you not only learn the language effectively but also enjoy the process. Our platform is designed around engaging education, and we hope you find joy in using it as much as we do in creating it!
Tailored learning experience
With this in mind, we offer two engaging products designed to enhance your language learning experience and fit your needs: Babbel, which provides comprehensive self-study lessons, and Babbel Live online classes with a teacher for a more tailored learning experience.
All Babbel Live classes are conducted by experienced teachers, ensuring you have the opportunity to practice speaking in a safe and supportive environment which you can join both in small groups and personalized one-on-one sessions.
Additionally, our platform includes a variety of in-app features such as Review, Everyday Conversations, Grammar Guide and Podcasts, all designed to enrich your learning journey.
We invite you to create an account and discover our courses for yourself. You can start with the first lesson of each course at no cost, and try Babbel Live classes for free.
