Changing languages

At Babbel, you can customise both the display language and the learning language.

The display language is the language used throughout the Babbel interface, usually your native language, while the learning language is the language you want to learn.

Changing your learning language

To change your learning language using website:

1. Go to babbel.com

Different language versions

When using Babbel, it's important to consistently use the same version of a language, such as American or British English and Mexican or European Spanish, across all your devices.

Babbel treats these as different languages and tracks your progress for each one separately. Switching between language versions on different devices can result in problems with syncing your vocabulary and progress. To avoid these issues, choose one version and stick with it throughout your learning.
