When you can speak another language, your world becomes bigger, richer and more inspiring. For many of us, learning a language is a terrifying experience, just as opening a new set of books and CDs.

Babbel is a comprehensive online learning system that allows the user to combine learning with his or her everyday life. Launched in 2007 in Berlin, it’s created and maintained by a team of 300 employees from 28 nations, including linguists, language teachers, native speakers, and authors.

The 14 language courses on offer (including French, Spanish, Polish, German, Swedish and English) are designed to be used on the go, anywhere and at any time, thanks to Babbel’s multi-platform mobile apps. These courses are free to download and contain 2,000—3,000 vocabulary words per language, pronounced by native speakers and accompanied by relevant images.

This native-speaker approach, says Markus Witte, CEO and founder of Babbel, is key to the company’s success. “The courses are designed by experienced language teachers and linguists,” he explains. “Their knowledge about learning processes and language pairings is crucial (至关重要的) when designing lessons. We offer 14 learning languages and it makes a huge difference whether a Portuguese or an English native learns Spanish.”

One of the real joys is being able to set your own pace and learn what you want. Simply choose the language you want and start learning it right away with integrated(综合的) speech recognition.

Registration of Babbel is completely free, as Babbel provides advanced lessons in every language, so you can start making progress immediately. If you choose to sign up, you are offered monthly, three-monthly, six-monthly or yearly payment plans and this gives you immediate access to your chosen language on www. babbel. com as well as via the mobile apps for Android or iOS.

The lessons are quick, bite-sized and entertaining. 50% of Babbel users learn with apps. Witte says, “This mobile language learning supports Babbel’s idea of easy learning. The touch display allows for much faster repeat of vocabulary, and users can check their pronunciation or record a speaking role in a dialogue, which helps to remove the fear of talking in an unfamiliar language.”
