Today Babbel (http://www.babbel.com), the online language learning system, presents three new courses: Beginner’s Brazilian Portuguese, Beginner’s Swedish and Advanced English. These new courses make use of Babbel’s innovative brand of interactive and multimedia self-directed learning, while including the recently released pronunciation training tool with browser-based speech recognition.

This year, there's just one international language: Soccer. But for whoever might be interested in any other language, the online platform Babbel now offers the Mini-Course "World Cup" in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese. The Vocabulary for the World Cup contains special words and exercises to get ready for the big soccer event, so you can explain the offside trap to a French fan in his native tongue, or after a quick vocabulary check on the iPhone, argue with a Spaniard over the incompetent referee.

What do Brazil and Sweden have in common? Both are exotic traveler destinations, and both are home to two of the foreign languages most in demand among English-speaking language learners. Consequently, the language education platform Babbel (http://www.babbel.com) has expanded its offerings to include Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese. In all, Babbel offers seven languages for anyone who is interested in online learning for career, travel or dating. To celebrate the addition of two new languages, Babbel is offering "Language Flex", a discounted subscription so users can explore all seven languages, at their own pace, for one low price.
