From a cost perspective, Babbel is quite cheap. Even though you have to pay for each language you want to learn, you actually do receive a good amount of content for the price you pay. If we compare it to similar instructional and software-based language apps, Babbel is on a good path.

Incredibly, the language you speak can actually affect how you perceive the world, because each language is full of unique logical rules and syntax. As we use language every day, these sequences of linguistic logic follow us around in our day-to-day life, forming a “habit of mind”.

Overall, our experience with Babbel was extremely positive. Priced at $199 for a lifetime subscription, it’s definitely worth it. Babbel offers 14 languages and entertains learning along the way. This app is user-friendly, and we liked how easy it was to navigate.

Duolingo offers over 20 languages, so you’ll have over twice as many language options as Babbel. Compared to Babbel, Duolingo’s main weakness is that it doesn’t have example conversations. However, if full conversations aren’t your thing, Duolingo may be an ideal alternative to Babbel.
