App of the week: Babbel
Published 7:46 pm, Sunday, January 6, 2013
In a nutshell: Babbel is an app that will teach you just about any major language you're looking to learn - with the exception of major Asian languages like Mandarin or Japanese. Anyone looking to finally get going on that New Year's resolution to learn French or Spanish can finally make good.
Cool factor: The app is designed to give you new vocabulary in digestible increments - perfect for a quick lesson on the subway or the waiting room. It also uses speech recognition to coach proper pronunciation. Also, if you want to do a quick lesson at work, it has a Web interface.
Note: There are a lot of content downloads, so be sure to do those when you're using Wi-Fi or you may be surprised by your bill for data at the end of the month.
