I really like Babbel. It gives context and explains the grammar in a very clear manner. I am learning french. I also gave as a gift to my partner to learn Portuguese and am impressed how good it is with slang and vocabulary we in fact use in daily life. Nothing comparable to Duolingo - this app is on another level. it is not cheap indeed, but if you get an end of summer offer it is worth it , I think.

The lesson content is good and I really enjoy the podcasts. I haven’t tried Babbel Live, but it probably adds more fun. However, the exercises are very repetitive (flashcards or gap-fills) with little variety or creativity like games or different exercises. A clear grammar overview would also help, instead of having to search through lessons to find explanations. After having used it for a few weeks I'm already bored. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's not worth the rather high price.

The app seemed decent, so I purchased a subscription. However, some of the exercises are unclear, the voice recognition is spotty and if you choose to revise questions which involve a dialogue you have to listen to the entire conversation again, even if it's for a single word. Also, the later lessons are full of homosexual imagery, which I do not appreciate. I won't be spending any more money on Babble.
