I found that high school French was still in my head somewhere and babbel helped recall it.
When I started babbel it was pretty easy and I made great progress for a while. I had a couple of years of French in high school which I'd mostly forgotten.
I've been using babbel for the last few months to learn French.
Posted by Superilla at 4:23 PM on February 16 A 5 year old review of Twitter would say it's a place to get news where they ban Nazis and you only see Elon Musk's tweets if you really want to. It's almost certainly improved in the subsequent years.ĭuolingo isn't perfect, but my main point is don't look at 5+ year reviews for any software product that's being updated. I mean, I thought Rosetta Stone sucked ass when I used it, but that was in 2008 and so I was fundamentally using a completely different product and I have nothing meaningful to say about it. To me, it reads like a cult of toughness sort of thing, where only real men have the balls to learn languages the hard way, not like weak little kiddies - never mind that children are famously the actual best learners of languages. The only one that is still there is the "gamified" approach - which is mostly a taste and/or learning style thing, and seems to me like a positive if, as the writer reports, a main problem with Rosetta Stone is people giving up on it too easily. I would assume the site is similarly out-of-date on Rosetta Stone, Babbel, etc. Most of the problems that the writer cites with Duolingo - being used for corporate translation, a lot of bizarre sentences, the course ending too soon to be practical (for popular languages at least, including Spanish) - aren't there in the product today. The Duolingo vs Rosetta Stone comparison article seems at least five years out of date, although the blogger doesn't put a date on so it seems current the article was written before Duolingo offered paid subscriptions, which was in 2017.
