A fun way to learn Italian
I think Babbel is a very good tool for learning Italian and I particularly enjoy the visits to cities all over Italy. However, for me, I would learn more from these delightful conversations if there were shorter passages in Italian before the explanation in English. By the time this comes, I cannot easily recall the beginning of the Italian conversation !

It's challenging
It's challenging. I find the spoken word by the teachers quite difficult to understand because they seem to run one word into another and it sounds like one long word without sufficient inflections to distinguish the words.

Great App for Learning Indonesian
Babbel has been fantastic for learning Indonesian. The lessons are clear, practical, and surprisingly fun, and I feel like I’m actually making real progress. The app is easy to use, the explanations make sense, and the speaking exercises help a lot. Definitely one of the best language apps I’ve tried.

I like Babbel because it has dedicated grammar topics and explains why a sentence should be written in a certain way. However, it does annoy me when I make a typo mistake or use a word that means the same thing and I get told that I was wrong.

Hi Tanya,
Thanks for your feedback.
We understand you'd like more grammar exercises and more daily vocabulary reviews before moving on to the next lesson. Let us share how Babbel's review system works and how you can get the most out of it:
- Babbel uses a spaced repetition method, so new words and phrases are added to your Review section after each lesson. The number of words available for review each day depends on your progress and how recently you've practiced them.
- If you want to practice more words, you can create custom vocabulary lists. On the website, go to the **Review** page and click **Create a list**. In the app, go to the **Training** tab, tap **Your Vocabulary**, scroll down, and tap **Create a list**. You can add any words or phrases you want to focus on and review them as often as you like.
- For grammar, you can always revisit previous lessons or explore additional courses and exercises on specific topics.
You can find more details about the Review feature and custom lists here: https://support.babbel.com/hc/pt-br/articles/205600228-Treino-de-vocabul%C3%A1rio-Revis%C3%A3o
We hope this helps you get more practice and reach your learning goals! If you have any other questions or need more tips, don't hesitate to contact us directly via support@babbel.com - Happy learning!
Kind regards,
The Babbel Team
Great method, details to be sorted still
The method and implementation are great, but the voice recognition system, although improved, still leaves a lot to be desired. It regularly identifies as errors things that aren't.
There is a recent redesign to the user interphase that changed the way speech recognition works that makes it impossible to correct speech errors, and requires much more clicking than before. Neither of these two changes is a good thing.

I really enjoy the variety of lessons on line plys the photos which help keep you going. The Weekly and annual summaries are also very good. My sole niggle is when I am doing on of the numbered lessons - is it possoible to be automatyically returned to you where you left off i.e. I finished on Lesson 10, Quesyion Five - why can't Babbel take me 'automatically' to Lesson 6 when I log on encore?

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your message and for sharing your feedback!
We're glad to hear you're enjoying the variety of lessons, photos, and the summaries.
Regarding your question: while Babbel doesn't currently take you automatically to the next lesson when you log in, you can easily pick up where you left off or repeat any lesson you like.
Here's how you can do it:
- On the Babbel website, go to **Explore** to browse your courses.
- In the Babbel app, tap the **Learn** tab and click the arrow **>** next to the course name.
- Select the course and lesson you want to continue or repeat, then tap **Start** or **Repeat**.
You can find more details here: https://support.babbel.com/hc/en-us/articles/205600458-Change-or-repeat-a-course-or-lesson
We hope this helps you continue your learning smoothly! If you have any other questions or suggestions, please let us know. Happy learning!

Very good app for learning a language
Have bought a subscription to learn Portuguese and by the time I made this review I am already 115 days in learning, so I think I have a very good understanding of the app.
I think this app is way better than others I have tried and worth the money to invest and learn a language you want. The structure of each class is very well organised, e.g. there are classes for grammar or vocabulary, or split by level etc, with daily reviews of previous exercises as well and review of mistakes etc. The exercises are easy and fun and have more realistic context compared to other learning apps, so all these are really helpful.
This is probably more language related, but I would like to have more content though, as it seems for Portuguese you can get up to level B1, plus it would be nice to include the European Portuguese speech as well as is different from Brazilian and maybe different words in some cases. Hopefully there will be more improvements / additions
