I really like this app but you need to add some new content. Some games or something and definitely some more episodes of the podcasts. I really like the podcasts but I have listened to all of it and would like some new episodes. PLEASE!!!

Okay as it goes

It uses the same template for every lesson. A little variation, not to mention creativity, in the structure of lessons could do wonders. Please consider it.

Pretty damn good

I’m really enjoying using this app, it’s helping me with my Spanish and I’m learning a lot! What id really like are some wee games to play to help too. Even just for vocabulary learning, it would do me no end of good.

5 stars

I love this app! Very good and really helps you learn. One of my favorite things about it is the podcasts.

Switched from Duo

Learning faster and more in depth with Babbel, less time wasted on kiddy characters, and better explanations for deeper understanding of grammar. Practical, and meets my learning style better.
