Babbel: Up to 60% off · Aug 4, 2026

All right y'all, I don't know if you've heard, but I just got back from France. And people say that the French are kind of rude about us foreigners' inability to speak French. And maybe it's just my happy face, my geniality, that led me to not have that experience. Or maybe it was the time spent with Babbel. We're in Marseilles, a little bit of a richer experience, you know, being able to talk to the waiters, talk to some of the boys at the bar, whatever, just do a little French, a little dabbling. My husband got on board a little late for this trip, but now he's excited about doing Babbel. He's upgraded to the highest Babbel level because he's ready. He's digging in for future trips. So take it from me: if you're traveling this summer, a real travel hack is don't wait till you land to start learning the language. Instead, try Babbel right now. Even just 10 minutes a day with Babbel can help you start having real conversations in as little as three weeks. What I like about Babbel is it's built for real life. No vocab lists, no verb conjugations, but real conversation practice. Lessons are quick, practical, and built by more than 200 language experts.
