Babel is my Duolingo replacement. The lessons are better, not AI, with more actual teaching than Duolingo. I’m learning things Duolingo glazed over or didn’t fully explain most lessons. Definitely recommend. Keep and eye on stack social too, I got my lifetime subscription to all languages for $140.
My wife is fluent in the language I’m learning and noted my improvement in 2 weeks of using babel. Granted I’m still an A1 but that’s a complement I’ll gladly accept.
I used Babel for a bit. The quality seems good. There’s little to no gamification, it feels like a digital version of a classic language learning textbook. They offer around 12-13 languages up to level B2. If you decide to purchase a lifetime subscription, it’s on sale every couple of months for 130-180 USD.
It’s a modern language with a country that speaks it as a primary language, but it’s not as widely learned so I don’t want to doxx myself. Duolingo is the only one that has more than a beginner’s level in this language. Beyond that I have to actually talk to people, like with italki. That’s going to be hard because I don’t even like talking on the language learning discord lol. I need to know it for my future plans, but that isn’t overcoming my introverted desire to not talk to people.
There’s no way it’ll have the language I’m learning any time soon lol. Duolingo is literally it besides traveling there and talking to locals
Does anyone use Babel? Is it any good?
