Why speaking and conversation practice are a must for language learners
For many people, speaking is the most intimidating part of language learning. Many learners struggle to improve their speaking skills or don’t know how to begin conversation practice. Traditional tools can make things harder, demanding too much quick thinking when you need clarity.
That’s why Babbel Speak is different. Integrated into the Babbel app, this Beta feature* is your language speaking practice app for real-world speaking practice—with clear guidance, expert support, and a focus on building confidence.
Research shows that speaking practice with real-time feedback accelerates learning more than listening alone. In a study published in Psychological Science, learners who practiced speaking outperformed those who only focused on comprehension. Here’s what the research found:
• Learners who practiced speaking scored higher in both vocabulary and grammar, even on new material.
• Speaking-focused learners processed sentences more quickly and accurately, especially with complex grammar.
• Actively speaking a language leads to deeper understanding and longer-lasting retention than passive exposure.
