If you’re counting down the days until an international trip, you might want to prepare yourself in the meantime. Of course, you need to pack the appropriate clothing and book your stay. But being able to communicate with the locals may be just as important, if not more so.

The Babbel language app can lead you down the right path. And, for a limited time, new users can purchase a lifetime subscription and start learning up to 14 languages for $199 (regularly $499).

Choose from 14 languages

Having at least a rudimentary understanding of the local language (read: not accidentally calling someone ugly) may help you travel with a bit more confidence. Fortunately, Babbel can show you the ropes in 14 languages: Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Indonesian, Norwegian, Danish, Russian and English. And with this subscription, you can explore them all, one language at a time.

Available for iOS, Babbel uses advanced speech-recognition technology to provide rapid feedback on your pronunciation. You can complete each lesson in 15 minutes or less. That means you can sneak some quick language training into your commute, your lunch break or any rare moment alone.

Babbel suggests its users can gain a foundational understanding of how to discuss practical topics — asking for directions, ordering food and shopping — within weeks. This could set the stage for continued linguistic and personal growth as you travel to new countries without hesitation. And with lifetime access, there’s no need to rush through the material. Work at a pace that fits your lifestyle and circle back anytime you want.

More than 10 million users trust Babbel to learn new languages. And it’s currently rated 4.6 out of 5 on the App Store with more than 183,000 reviews. PCMag backs this up, stating, “Babbel exceeds expectations, delivering high-quality, self-paced courses.”

Save on a lifetime subscription to Babbel language learning

Set yourself up for fantastic international travel — and wonderful, potentially life-changing interactions with the locals — with help from the Babbel language app. Lifetime subscriptions are only $199 (regularly $499) for new users through September 15, 2022.

Prices subject to change.
