From Babbel's entry screen it's unclear whether my subscription would be limited to one language, which would not work for me.įor users who have tried all three, what are the relative pros and cons of each platform? Which was your favorite? Or, if you've only tried one but loved or hated it, please share! Is there some other better app I'm totally overlooking? I only have the budget to purchase one subscription, and I want to make it count. I tried Busuu and liked it a lot, but I've heard great things about Babbel and Memrise. My French and Italian are absolutely still basic and I need structured lessons and drills to advance. While I can definitely still learn a lot from apps and textbooks, I'm not totally dependent on them for Spanish anymore. My Spanish has reached a level where I can read things like Harry Potter books as practice, trying to memorize idioms, adding vocab I don't know to my anki deck, and checking the rarer conjugations in my verb dictionary. I've tried Pimsleur audiobooks and while I know it's the ultimate for some people, it just doesn't work well for me. Right now I have free access to the Mango app through my library and use it, anki decks, and the Living Language book series (also available at my library) but I'm looking for something more like the Duolingo experience to supplement with. What, in your opinion, is the best alternative subscription? I am learning Spanish, French and Italian and would one day like to start Arabic (just at an entry conversational level for my job). My 415 day streak is gone, my subscription is canceled, and I feel at peace. I have tried for over a month to deal with the update, but I am throwing in the towel today.
