Boring app after a few weeks. Learning has not improved since swapping from Duolingo. Lessions are boring, repetitive and frustrating. Don't know how you are meant to stick with this for a year and especially for the price you pay. Tediousness of the lessions I struggle with and just skip through as fast as I can with heaps of mistakes. Visibility of the words is poor. Duolingo you could click on a word and a pop up describe what it is.

Was looking for a free, easy to stick with language-learning app. I was welcomed with entertaining lessons and true feedback, until I wanted to do a second lesson. I waited a day to see if it was a daily thing but no. You literally get one lesson per level on the free version. And payment is advertised as optional. I would be less disappointed had I been told that the free version was pretty much a trial.

Good that lessons are still crafted by real people with language experience. Frustratingly the speaking recognition no longer works. Be prepared to learn some US English terms at the same time as learning your target language. As with other language learning apps, the focus is more on brainless repetition (tap on the obvious options to complete the phrase) and keeping a streak of days (with presumably a midnight defined somewhere). Would love to see more testing of vocabulary retention.

Hi Bill, we're sorry to hear that the speech recognition feature is no longer working for you. Let's try a few steps to get it working again: 1) Check your internet connection to make sure it's stable. 2) Make sure Babbel has permission to use your microphone. You can check this in your device or browser settings. 3) Update the Babbel app and yo...
