What sort of promises have you made yourself this year? Getting in better shape, eating healthier, saving more money, traveling somewhere new?

What about discovering a new culture by learning a new language? With Babel, you can in just a few weeks.

This year, speak like a whole new you with Babel, the language learning app that gets you talking.

Learning a new language is the pathway to discovering new cultures, so why not embark on learning something new?

Babel's quick 10-minute lessons handcrafted by over 200 language experts get you to begin speaking your new language in three weeks or whatever pace you choose. And because conversing

is the key to really understanding each other in new languages, Babel is designed using practical

real-world conversations. Spending months with private

teachers is the old way of learning languages, and nothing screams tourists like holding

a phone translation app up to your face all day. Need proof that Babel gets you talking? Studies

from Yale, Michigan State, and other leading universities continue to prove that Babel works.

One study found that using Babel for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester

at college. This year, let's get more of you talking in a new language. Babel is gifting our listener
