Speed

You must do something about the speed with which things are verbalized. Everyone I know has the same complaint about not being able to affect speed. Clarity is also an issue - I am considering canceling my subscription in favor of duo lingo which I am more pleased with so far

I have other complaints, but the speed and clarity of spoken word are by far the biggest pain points.

I cannot remember the last time there was a new version release Put some money into your product please.

Not bad

ChatGPT can do a learning program personalized to you. Wouldn’t purchase again.

Ok

You lose your progress if you toggle between languages. It does teach you the rules of the language.

Great language learning program

I really appreciate the verity of different ways to learn. Babbel has everything from guided conversations to podcasts. The only thing I wish was different is more custom ability. I wish there was a way to search and choose what topics are important for you to learn. That would help people grow more in the areas that are important to them.

Fraudulent renews after cancellation and no way to contact them

Babbel renewed my account even though it had been cancelled. There was no email saying it would soon renew and there is no way to reach a human. The app itself is full of English and so basic. Total waste of money.

Don’t bother

Seriously. Don’t waste your money.

Almost perfect

I wish that you could bookmark a section or page that you would like to revisit at a later time, as it maybe have more key notes that apply more regularly. Otherwise, very awsome app

Recommended by French Teacher

Quick and easy to use.
Learning new words every day!

great app but you have to pay to do anything and it’s not cheap

Love learning on this app but had to stop because it just got to expensive for me

I’m trying to do my best…

Wonderful

Been learning and fluent in Spanish for 8.5 years. Great app and helps maintain proficiency. Would recommend to anyone who’s using Duolingo instead.

Golly

ja

Too easy

Too easy

Unethical company

Your company waited past the 20 days before it tried to force AI on me. This was clearly intentional and is an absolute bait and switch tactic

Where is the podcast access?????????

🙁🙄

Spanish

Not sure yet.

Babbel is a great learning tool

Easy to use, intuitive navigation, and ability to jump ahead to challenge yourself or step back to reinforce learning.

Babbel reinforces learning through multiple fun activities.

Everyone can hone their speaking, reading, and writing skills.

You will be pleased and your friends amazed!

Add More Languages!

I’ve been using Babble to help learn more Spanish and grammar but I would also really like it if they added Cantonese or Mandarin language option as well! Or Japanese! I really like the format of babble but I want more language options!

Love learning Italian with Babbel!

I just wrote the review a minute ago. Babbel is well worth the cost if you put the time into the learning!

Not for everyone

It would be nice if we could speed up the progression from speaking, listening, being graded, etc.

More importantly: elements of this program and the podcast focus on topics in politics and sexuality that are intentionally divisive. It gives the impression that Babel is geared towards that very specific population.
