5 Babbel
With Babbel, users can learn over a dozen languages including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian. The app was created by a group of language learning experts and focuses on confidence, comprehension, and retention. Each lesson is about 10-15 minutes in length and features speech recognition technology to help the learner with pronunciation.
Babbel takes a more classroom-like approach to learning languages. While still fun and interactive, Babbel presents the learner with conversations and asks them to fill in the blanks. Additionally, Babbel explains the formalities behind words and phrases to give the user a better understanding of the language they chose to learn.
Babbel requires a subscription to use. Users can choose to pay $10.99 per month, $21.99 per every three months, $34.99 per every six months, or $64.99 per year.
If you prefer a more traditional learning experience—but without the classroom—Babbel is a great choice!
