What Languages Can You Learn with Babbel?

Currently, Babbel has lessons available in 14 languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Turkish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Indonesian, Polish and English.

Their English course is available with instruction in French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish or Ukrainian. Other languages are also available with instruction in languages other than English. For example, you can learn Spanish with the course instruction in German. 

How Does It Work?

Once you make an account with Babbel and pick your language of choice, you get to start your lessons.

You can answer some questions if you’re unsure of your level, but they’re self-assessments that ask for your confidence in certain language topics. 

Based on the Common European Framework of Reference standards, Babbel claims to offer lessons that range from A1 (beginner) to C1 (proficient) levels, but this depends on the language. 

In the German version, the lessons are split into newcomer (A1), beginner (A2), intermediate (B1) and upper intermediate (B2) levels. There are also topical courses on German dialects, idioms, business German and more. 

The curriculum isn’t “locked” so you can skip around different lessons and courses as you wish. This differs from some other language learning apps that won’t let you proceed until you complete your current lesson or topic.

Each lesson will focus on a certain concept or vocabulary, which you’ll learn via exercises. The lessons mainly focus on different day-to-day situations such as dining and describing future actions.
