We Get You Speaking Quicker Than Our Competitors Do

Our features are designed so you can have a gratifying learning experience that will get you speaking with confidence as soon as possible. You probably don’t want to just listen to us, though. Fortunately, we have evidence to back it up.

A study of Spanish learners by researchers from the City University of New York and the University of South Carolina found that people using Babbel accomplished more in their new language faster than those who used other apps. In two months, it took Babbel users on average 21 hours to cover the material of a semester-long Spanish course, and it only took 15 hours for those who went in with no Spanish knowledge at all.
