Are you struggling with your German lessons? Or finding it hard to get to grips with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation? Meet Babbel: the world’s leading language learning app. Explore a whole kit of effective learning methods developed by real teachers and over 200 language experts with one simple goal: teaching you German in context so you can apply it confidently in real life. 

Learn German you can use in real-life conversations

Say "Auf Wiedersehen!" to traditional, boring grammar courses. Babbel’s award-winning app lessons will teach you German you can use in “real-life” conversations. From casual chit chat to essential phrases for everyday scenarios, the lessons are designed to equip you with the language skills that matter most. 

You’ll learn all about vocabulary through dialogue prompts, and you’ll also hear and repeat German as it’s spoken by locals - not by textbooks. This way you’ll get acquainted with cultural topics and pick up the German conversational style more naturally.

Learning directed by your goals

But the thing that takes language learning to a whole new level with Babbel is personalisation. Did you know you can join live, online classes that are taught by world-class teachers? It’s like having your very own language coach. Babbel coaches guide you, provide a safe space in which to practise speaking, answer any questions you have about the language you’re learning, and provide personalised feedback - ensuring you progress at a pace that suits you. 

Babbel’s app lessons are crafted by expats like you, with expats like you in mind. Want to learn the best way to strike up a chat with your German neighbours? Babbel's got specific lessons tailored to those unique expat interactions, making your learning experience even more compatible with your experiences abroad.
