Welcome to Babbel! It's great to have you here, and we're excited to help you start your language learning journey. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started and understand our platform, from creating your account to setting your learning goals and diving into your lessons.
Create your account
To start your language learning adventure, you'll need to create a Babbel account. Signing up is quick and easy, and no payment information is required.
If you're using a mobile device, download the Babbel app. If you're using a computer, register here. Follow the instructions to set up your account and answer a few questions to help us personalize your learning experience.
Choose your subscription
Once you've set up your account, it's time to choose a subscription that suits your learning needs. Babbel offers different subscription options that give you access to all courses and levels in your chosen language, or a plan that gives you access to all languages. This flexibility ensures that you can learn in the way that best suits your goals.
You can also try Babbel for free before you decide on your subscription.
Find your level
If you are not sure where to start or want to assess your level, take a placement quiz. After creating your account, you will be prompted in the main dashboard to take a very quick test. Answer a few questions and we will help you understand your level and suggest your first lesson.
Start learning
In the main view you will see your first lesson - just click Start Lesson and have fun! After each lesson you complete, we will add all the words and phrases you have learned to your Vocabulary section. Here you can repeat everything you have learnt at any time.
You can also change your lesson or course at any time if you feel you are ready for a different challenge or want to try something new.
In between lessons you can also try out our other learning features such as Podcasts, Grammar Guide or practice your speaking skills with Guided Conversations or AI Conversation Partner. You can always find them in the Practice tab in our mobile app or Explore section if you are using the web version.
Set up your goals
Whenever you are ready, take a moment to define your language learning goals. Whether you're looking to learn the basics, build on existing skills or prepare for a specific situation such as traveling, having clear objectives will help you choose the right courses and achieve results faster.
With a Babbel subscription, you can explore courses tailored to your goals, ensuring a personalized learning experience. You can also set learning reminders to help you achieve your goals.
Keep on learning
It's just the beginning of your learning journey, so keep learning and use all the resources that suit your needs and help you progress. If you need some help, check out our tips and tricks for learning a new language.
