Well structured and intuitive app
Babbel is well structured across the different levels and has a great range of lessons for reading, writing, listening and speaking.
I like the interface a lot - easy and intuitive - and this matters as it encourages me to keep using the app.
Great range of languages to choose from also.

Feedback review
I like the variation of learning modes, the subject matter and pace is also very good.
A couple of things for improvement, sometimes when choosing options, multiples of the same option show up. Also, quite often the sound seems to stop on certain dialogues, then it comes back again.

Reply from Babbel
Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your message and for sharing your positive feedback about the app!
We appreciate your suggestion about having a section just for learning and repeating words. We wanted to let you know that Babbel already offers a feature called 'Review' (also known as vocab workout), which is designed exactly for this purpose. The Review feature helps you practise and repeat vocabulary using a proven method called spaced repetition, so you can move words from short-term to long-term memory.
You can find the Review section on your dashboard at babbel.com or in the Babbel app - just look for 'Review' at the top of the screen on desktop, or under the Practice tab in the app. Babbel will recommend vocabulary sessions when you have words to practise, and you can use different interactive methods to review your vocabulary.
If you’d like to learn more, you can check out this article: https://support.babbel.com/hc/en-us/articles/205600228-Vocab-workout-Review 💫️
Let us know if you have any other ideas or questions. Happy learning!
Kind regards,
The Babbel Team
It treats you like an intelligent person
It explains the grammar.
It comes in small modules you can do in a few minutes.

There are cute photos with every question.

Much better than another well known language app.

We need more advanced Portuguese (B2-C1)
I bought Babbel for Portuguese, but it doesn’t have any advanced Portuguese, very few lessons until B1 only…
Very disappointing.
We need more advanced lessons for B2 and C1!
Please expand the course, like the other languages. It’s not fair otherwise.

Disappointed in method and company
I tried this method of learning Spanish for about 3 weeks. I did it every day, and I did not find that it was the right approach for me. There was a lack of repetition, a lack of immersion. The lessons moved on after brief introductions and it never felt like there was sufficient time or practice for things to really click. The approach to writing and practicing/reviewing what I had learned was also so automated that I didn’t feel I was doing enough work to make things stick. I found I kept wishing I could just go back to by Freshman high school introductions to Spanish class!
In addition to that, the company will not give me a partial refund for an annual membership. I don’t remember seeing a 20 day money back guarantee. At 24 days of daily lessons and review, I felt I had given the program a decent chance, and asked for a partial refund. They will not. I now have 11 more months of this, and I can’t get out of it, and I don’t feel it is effective anyway. Very disappointed in the product and the company.

A very good app. You can go back and review older lessons. Sometimes the voices are too quick to understand.

Hi Steve,

We're glad to hear you find the app helpful for reviewing lessons. Regarding the voices being a bit quick, you can often replay audio or slow it down in many lessons to help with understanding. If you ever need more tips or support, feel free to reach out. Happy learning!

Speech Recognition
Bought a Lifetime Subscription as a surprise gift for my partner so he could learn my native language, Danish.
It's really good, and in-depth. Has told him about my culture and everything.
The problem lies with the most important, and difficult part of the language, for non-Danish speakers to learn: Speaking.
The speech recognition they use is VERY hit or miss. But it feels like 60% of the time he'll pronounce something spot-on, and it'll just tell him he said it wrong.
To the point where I, a person who's lived in Denmark their entire life, picks up the tablet and talks into the microphone...
Just for it to say I said it wrong.
Paid quite a lot for the Lifetime Subscription, it's frustrating that it doesn't give him positive feedback on learning a core part of the language.

Hello Camden,
We appreciate your feedback about your partner's learning experience with Babbel.
Regarding speech recognition, Babbel uses advanced technology to help improve your pronunciation and provides instant feedback during lessons. If you encounter issues or want to adjust the speech recognition feature, you can turn it on or off by tapping the microphone icon at the bottom-left corner of your screen.
If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to contact our support team. Happy learning!
Best wishes,

I like the way that the lessons are structured, simply, clearly and with plenty of opportunities for consolidation.
I like the way that the lessons are arranged in levels, teaching grammar etc and in topics, developing vocabulary and providing opportunities to practice the grammar learnt.

Interactive and positive system…
It's really interactive and confidence boosting.
However, some examples don't examine all the verb conjugations, thereby generating some uncertainty in knowledge.
Also, the "review" exercise is limited to a finite number of examples, before one is forced to begin a new lesson. It would be advantageous to have the choice of taking more reviews.

Hi Neal,
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
We appreciate your positive comments about the interactive and confidence-boosting aspects of our system.
Our lessons are designed to introduce verb conjugations gradually, but not every example covers all forms. This helps focus your learning and avoids overwhelming you. If you'd like to practise more conjugations, you can explore and repeat lessons at any time.
You can find more information about the features of the review trainer in our Babbel-Help-Centre. Happy learning!

Italian for daily use
Diversity of subjects and situations addressed. Clear explanation of grammatical rules .
What could be improved is the size and or letter type of the letters used to form the words learned in al lesson. It is difficult to distinguish l and I for example

By showing the correct endings for words and the reason for different endings, this helps learners to understand the working of the language.
