Phenomenal Product – Babbel - Language Learning Review

I initially tried learning Italian on Pimsleur and found it deadeningly slow. The program taught me a very (very) short list of artificial phrases over the course of many half-hour lessons and used tremendous amounts of English instruction to get me there. After that, Babbel was a breath of fresh air. It is a truly excellent language-learning tool, for a very reasonable price. The pace is quick, and you don't get weighed down in repetitions while still picking up the vocabulary very smoothly. And the content is very impressive. The program focuses on phrases in context, using conversations as a platform for reinforcing learned words and learning new vocabulary, and then throws in a grammar lesson at various intervals to deepen the learner's understanding of what they are doing. Doing Babbel's beginner Italian course has felt like studying the language with a fantastic human teacher. Can't wait to put my Italian into practice when I go to Italy!
