Like many, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to simply spend less time on my phone. And I think the recent talk about app bans has shown us that we’re all a little bit addicted. Personally, I’m going to try learning a new language. I’ve always wanted to, and I found an unbeatable deal on Babbel.
I’ve seen ads for Babbel on TikTok and great reviews online, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to paying monthly fees. But then I saw I could get a Babbel lifetime subscription for $149.99 through Popular Science with code BABBEL20 at checkout (reg. $599). If you’re interested, you only have through January 25 to get this discount.
Trying Babbel for the first time
Babbel offers lessons in 14 languages, so I decided to start with Spanish. There are many native speakers in my community, and you never know when knowing a few words or phrases could be useful.
The app had me set a goal and daily notifications so I’d remember to come back for lessons. Then, I drove right in. I was surprised when the first lesson took less than ten minutes, so I did a few in my first sitting.
The first few lessons taught me how to introduce myself, talk about where I’m from, and pronounce the Spanish alphabet. I was already learning significantly more than what I remembered from high school Spanish class.
One thing I wasn’t expecting Babbel to have was Spanish-speaking practice. There’s an AI conversation partner where I can basically rehearse a conversation with a real Spanish speaker before doing it in real life, and I can’t wait to try it once I know more of the language.
Use code BABBEL20 at checkout to get lifetime access to this language-learning app for $149.99 until January 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT (reg. $599). You won’t find a better price anywhere else.
