Since Prime Day has now come to an end, many retailers have stopped offering any deals for the time being. Not StackSocial, though. The retailer has continued to challenge Amazon with quite a few tasty offers, one of which reduces the asking price of a Babbel lifetime subscription by a massive $469, making it up for grabs for only $130. The only catch for obtaining the language learning software at such a low rate is that this price is only available for the next 48 hours.
Babbel is one of our favorite language-learning apps, offering an online school-type experience. It’s easy to use, and its design helps you stick to your learning goals. At $130, this offer even beats the current discount you can get from Babbel by over 50%. This one-time payment gives you permanent access to Babbel’s language courses, which you can tackle at your own pace without worrying about recurring fees.

Babbel’s extensive language software includes Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Swedish, Indonesian, Portuguese and more. The lessons are short and to the point, allowing you to practice in 10- to 15-minute intervals that can fit into any schedule. Real-life topics include travel, family, business, food and others. A variety of skill levels are available, ranging from beginner to advanced, so the program can grow with you as you improve.
The speech-recognition technology will give you immediate feedback on pronunciation, so you don’t just learn to read and write but how to listen and speak as well. You’ll also get personalized review sessions to reinforce what you’ve learned. The program works across desktop and mobile devices.
Although the internet is required most of the time, there is also an offline mode available where you can access courses, lessons and reviews without Wi-Fi, so long as you download them beforehand. Babbel also syncs your progress across your devices so that you can jump in from wherever is most convenient.
Becoming fluent in a new language is a great way to stay engaged in learning, and the transferable skills you gain can open doors for leisure, work and beyond. Note that while you can access this program on as many devices as you want, this subscription offer is available only for new users.
Babbel is a great value when compared with other online courses, especially with this current discount. So whether you’re a lifelong learner or just want to pick up some basics for your globe-trotting adventures, this is a solid deal.
