Babbel or Rosetta Stone

  Can you elaborate? It seems pretty opaque what they are like since it seems to be credit card up front with both of them.

    They are also language learning apps. Different style than Duolingo, but still worth the price imo

    Babbel kind of takes traditional textbook style learning, and adapts it quite well to technology. It's also built around really colloquial conversations, and the audio is high quality. I would say it tends to focus more on how people actually speak than textbook-style speech Rosetta Stone was the big player before Duolingo. They had a method that involved not using your mother tongue, which they called 'immersion'. I believe in the recent years (since Duolingo ate their pie) they have moved more and more towards dueling style learning. They have an app that's a lot more corporate, but I've heard good things about it too Note, I haven't used either of these applications in years, I just work in the space and this is my understanding of them

      Thanks for the summation. I was aware of Rosetta Stone as an older entity. Babbel sounds interesting.
