Which language learning method is right for your company?

Everyone learns languages differently. Creatives, for example, use the right side of their brains to learn, while financiers will tap into the left, logical side. Native-Spanish speakers learn German differently than Native-English speakers; some people absorb information through speaking, others through listening. With this in mind, finding a language learning technique to benefit all your employees can be a challenge. And that’s where Babbel comes in.

At Babbel we spent years poring over tried-and-tested language-learning techniques, from the methods used in academia to the sponge-like learning of toddlers. Our experts culminated all of their research to create The Babbel Method, digitizing the most effective forms of learning into easy, bite-sized lessons personalized to the individual. Clever, isn’t it?

Babbel is the shortest path to a real-life conversation in a new language. Each of our 14 languages use the same bullet-proof techniques all available on our award-winning mobile app. We have a dedicated base of over one million active users who have reaped the benefits of our unique language-learning techniques. An independent study by researchers at the City University of New York shows that in just 21 hours Babbel users cover an entire semester-worth of Spanish. Our users learnt Spanish 2.5x faster than those using other services and 99% of first-time users said they would continue to learn with Babbel.

A study conducted by researchers at Yale university and Michigan State University (MSU) confirmed what we already suspected: that Babbel is the fastest and most effective way to learn a new language in a busy office environment. This study asked employees from Sodexo, a Fortune 500 company, to test out Babbel over the course of ten weeks. The study found that these users loved to use Babbel even while managing a jam-packed schedule. The study also revealed that these users felt confident to communicate in their chosen language almost straight away, and that a reminder schedule actively motivated them to pick up their phones and get learning. 

Whatever your business, we have a package to suit the needs of your company and your employees. Babbel Basic is perfect for business customers who need full access to all course content, 14 learning languages, admin portal and synced devices. Babbel Professional is designed with account services, an onboarding webinar, business reporting as well as additional learning material in mind, and Babbel Intensive combines all these holistic learning benefits, and includes one-on-one Babbel Live lessons with qualified native speaker teachers for even more effective and goal-oriented learning.
