Great App
I love this app and is much better than Duolingo. Feels much more serious and explains grammar much better. Only thing I’d improve is getting rid of the writing task input method of selecting the letters from the jumbled up grid. I want to spend my time learning the language not looking for letters when I already know how to spell the word and would much rather just type it out. This is better for learning the word too I think. Or at least have the option to turn off the letter jumbles and only have typing. Otherwise, really like it.

I hope they address this!
App is good. Teaches grammar which I appreciate. My issue is with the multiple-choice exercises. 1) I dislike that when answers get eliminated when choosing the right one. By the time you get to the last one, is more of a rush to move on than actually learning or making you think. 2) In the other instances, some answers are absolutely out of context or clearly the wrong answer. No need to think. The issue is that the focus becomes process of elimination and not critical thinking. Be creative. Change the spelling, put similar words, etc.
MAKE ME THINK about the right choice!!!!

Hi
I don’t know if it’s just me but I can’t do anything without the subscription. It kinda sucks idk.
Ad goes goes over a minute!
Refuse to use this app! When advertising for this app the ad goes longer than a minute! Absolutely worthless! Get your ad time in line!!!!!
It’s ok
I use Babbel and Duolingo and Duolingo is a lot more fun! Babbel has a bit more focus on grammar, but the lessons and explanations are tedious and overly complicated, as well as being very prescriptive in how the lessons are structured (say new word out loud, write new word with letters to choose from, write new word in sentence from memory, from sound, in conversation, repeat), which is simultaneously hard and boring. I also prefer the repeating characters and gamification of Duolingo. It’s useful as a supplementary app, but there’s no way I would have stuck with it if I started learning German on Babbel first.

Language is hard
I fly through the lessons getting nearly 100% every time. But as soon as someone speaks to me in Portuguese I have no idea what they are saying. These apps just don’t get me to conversational comprehension

I have just completed unit one. I love the varied ways of repetition. I review each of my previous lessons before moving on. I love seeing my voice pattern and know I’m saying words correctly. Great app.
lesson organization
great way the lessons are organized to better grasp words and conversation
Trial automatically bills
Apparently, you cannot use this app in a trial unless you put in your payment details. I would prefer that I try it for free and then have to pay afterwards to continue. Payment upfront requires me to remember when the 7 day trial is finished and actively do something to cancel. Otherwise it will automatically bill me.

⭐⭐ ☆ ☆☆
⭐⭐ ☆ ☆☆ Bonne application, mais une grosse déception pour les francophones qui veulent apprendre l’espagnol du Mexique !
Babbel est une bonne application dans l’ensemble, mais il y a un gros point négatif qui me déçoit particulièrement, surtout considérant que je paie pour ce service.
Je suis Canadien francophone (Québec) et je voyage au Mexique chaque hiver pendant environ un mois. Mon objectif est simple : apprendre l’espagnol mexicain pour pouvoir communiquer naturellement avec les gens du pays.
Le problème ? L’espagnol du Mexique est uniquement disponible à partir de l’anglais américain ! Mon niveau d’anglais étant d’environ 3/10, je me retrouve à devoir comprendre une langue que je maîtrise mal pour en apprendre une autre. Ce qui complique énormément mon apprentissage.
Babbel me propose comme solution d’apprendre l’espagnol d’Espagne, qui lui est disponible en français. Mais ce n’est pas ce que je recherche ! Même si les deux variantes sont largement compréhensibles entre elles, il existe des différences de prononciation, de vocabulaire et d’expressions.
Je voyage au Mexique chaque année, pas en Espagne ! Pourquoi devrais-je me contenter d’une variante qui ne correspond pas à mes besoins alors que je paie pour apprendre une langue ?
Je trouve dommage qu’une application aussi reconnue que Babbel ne permette pas aux francophones d’apprendre directement l’espagnol latino-américain, particulièrement celui du Mexique.
J’espère sincèrement que Babbel prendra cette demande en considération. Les francophones ne devraient pas être obligés de maîtriser l’anglais pour accéder à certaines variantes d’une langue.
Une bonne application, oui, mais une expérience malheureusement limitée pour les francophones comme moi.

Very educational.
Customer Service
I had worked with the app for about 5 months. I tried to devote about 5 hours per week and I started noticing that I was answering questions by deduction rather than answering because I understood the question. This became frustrating and I stopped using the app about 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I forgot about the app until I received the automatic renewal notification on my most recent credit card statement. I did not receive an email from Babbel notifying me that they would be billing me in the coming days, so I could cancel, like every other auto renewal subscription that I have does. (Incidentally, I also checked my spam folder and there was no notification there either. However, there were multiple emails asking me to upgrade to the unlimited plan.) Anyway, I asked for a refund because it had only been 4 days since I was billed but Babbel refused because of their “terms”. If you don’t wish to be viewed as a scam I suggest you at least send an email to your recurring subscription customers, so they customer can decide if they want to continue instead of you deciding for the customer after you capture their payment.

Review by Dan Bryan
I love all your lessons . I’ve listened to all your podcasts many times. I’m waiting for some new podcasts. Also, your A.I seems to lose its ability to understand what I’m saying in French after I do the same excercise more than 5 or6 times. Sent this to you on October 27, 2026. Thank you for reading this , Dan Bryan.

Male or female?
In the very first dialogue in the very first lesson a lady meets a man that she hasn't seen for a while. They both say hi and he tells her she has a beautiful costume. She says thank you in the masculine but then apologize and says thank you in the feminine.
There is no explanation given but it is appears that man is identifying as a woman? Why add something so confusing to this language study?
This devalues the purpose of the lesson.
