Should You Use Babbel in 2024? | Language Learning App Review

After I have done a test video about Busuu and I will link it here, now I have also tested Babbel. Since Babbel and Busuu have many similarities in how they approach teaching a language, also the role those apps play in my learning routine is similar.

I have already explained in my video about Busuu the science about the noticing hypothesis, but I will quickly recap it in this video as well.

After that we will do an in depth review of the Babbel app, looking at Pro’s and Con’s as well as having a look at the pricing. In the end we will conclude if you should use Babbel for your learning.
