The Best App for Spanish I have used

I am really making progress after adding Babble to my study routine. I do one practice session with Babbel followed by one regular lesson. I next spend 10 minutes reading a booking in Spanish, while listening to the synced audio. I follow that with a lesson in an app that is less formal and rather fun. I would like to see Babble do one thing: I would like to be able to take a progress test, and then be offered a choice of “Continue with lessons” and “Reset” where it would go back to the level I tested at. When I was studying C1 I hit a wall. I found instructions on how to delete my progress through the browser. I then retested and started again at B1. I was afraid that I would lose my streak, but I didn’t. I would be nice not to have to go outside the app for a restart. One thing that has really impressed me is that the lessons are different, not just a repeat of the last time I was studying B1.

More productive

It’s a bit more work than Duolingo but I feel like I’m making steady progress.

Payment scam

The terms of payment are not detailed and are set to take more money than expected. They do not have any proper explanation when it comes to any of their memberships

Poorly spoken

Unfortunately the voice for the app is really hard to understand..

App for Serious Language Learners

Multimodal. Effective.
