Babbel for Business offers three different products.

With Babbel Professional, all your team members receive individual access to the language learning platform. Depending on their goals and language level, they learn Business English or other languages in short, 15-minute lessons — conveniently and flexibly on their mobile device or computer. The learning content is sorted into practical topic areas and specifically targets language skills for everyday work life.

With Babbel Live, your employees expand their language skills through blended learning in guided group video lessons with a certified teacher. The online lessons offer the opportunity to practice speaking and listening comprehension as well as expanding knowledge about cultural aspects through conversations with other learners.

With Babbel Intensive, employees have the opportunity to make progress and see especially quick learning success. In one-on-one video lessons with certified teachers, learners can practice what they’ve learned on the platform and concentrate on their own professional learning goals.

Employees in international companies need solid language skills in Business English. With Babbel for Business, your team can expand their language skills in a targeted way. Find out more about learning Business English online quickly and efficiently on our website.

The Babbel language courses can easily be used in addition to in-person lessons at a company. In particular, the pandemic-related restrictions have shown how much sense it makes to invest in remote training opportunities. With the blended learning method from Babbel for Business, lessons can take place flexibly and digitally. That way your employees don’t have to do without the personal support from a qualified teacher — our approach combines independent learning with the Babbel app and video lessons with a certified teacher.

  • Promote an integrative team culture where self-confidence and performance are increased.
  • Optimize their employer branding as appealing and internationally focused.
