Babbel

Babbel is a structured language-learning app that offers short, daily lessons in many languages, including Spanish, French, German, and more. Developed by linguists, its bite-sized exercises focus on practical vocabulary, grammar, and dialogues, with built-in speech recognition to help learners practice pronunciation. Older kids and teens can often use Babbel semi-independently, while parents appreciate the clear lesson paths and offline download options. It’s a paid subscription, but for families who actually use it regularly, Babbel can be a cost-effective way to build conversational skills compared with in-person classes.
