Please!! I Was Waiting For This Video!! From Showing Us The The Two Comparison's Language Speaking 🗣️ Learning Apps!! That Teaches 📝 To Speak Different Languages.

I've just started using Pimsleur. What I immediately liked about it is that it is heavily focussed on getting you to listen to and participate in coversations. This is the reason why I switched from Babbel. Babbel has it's strengths but for me the most important thing is learning how to actually converse in French which is something Pimsleur does better.

Yeah I think apps like Babbel are just for vocab basically. Yeah it helps you form sentences but I feel like actually hearing the language spoken is what is a game changer for me. I learned French and still find it extremely hard to understand spoken French. I haven’t tried French on pimsleur but I’m starting Spanish and it’s significantly easier to understand and respond quicker when the person is speaking. I love it! I don’t think it’s just cuz Spanish is easy.

I was looking between babbel and Pimsleur the main problem with babbel is no Korean language course

Great comparison. Both seem like great options for learning a new language.

Great review. Insightful, thorough and really helpful.

only just started trying both, and i really like pimsleur because i always need to work more on my listening and speaking skills anyways, and then duolingo is always there for free to fill in the blanks, and duolingo is more fun than babbel to be real

Thank you SO much for this review. Incredibly helpful for me. I think I might just go ahead and use both if my budget allows for it.

The biggest problem with babbel is the lack of languages no Korean Japanese Chinese etc

Thank you for the 2023 review on Babble and Pimsleur language learning. I really like Babble from the sounds of it.

Like the comparison! Glad I found your page.

These are my two favorite language apps. Great comparison and conclusion. If you can afford it get both. Hold out a while before you purchase. I did this with both Babbel and Pimsleur. Babbel offered me a 2 year subscription with all 13 languages for $126. Pimsleur offered a yearly subscription for all 51 languages which was $164.95 or $13.75 per month down from $20.95. That’s 34% off.

I have done all 150 lessons of Mandarin Chinese for Pimsleur, four times each. I really enjoyed it, and did it every day for my first few years of learning. I have been studying Chinese for 4,5 years now and while I have not used Pimsleur in a long while, I would recommend it for someone wanting to start learning a language and picking up speaking ability. I was using Pimsleur before I could read or write Chinese. I wouldn't recommend using it (or any language learning tool/app) in isolation though. Babbel sounds cool, based on this review I wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, it looks like Chinese is not an option, nor do they seem to have any Asian languages. Shame really, sounded like it would be cool compliment to my studies. Bit surprised how limited the language options are. Glossika I think is a great compliment to Pimsleur though for even more listening and speaking practice. For learning the grammar and writing and such, a textbook and some kind of structured online course really is essential in my opinion though.

So sorry to comment on this oddity, but I'm a Voice Actor myself and so it just jumps at me: I've never heard someone speak like you before. you have such clear pronunciation, all the way up until maybe the last 2-3 words of a sentence. Then you just suddenly speed up _a lot_ and it almost feels like you simply let the last few words tumble to the ground while you exhale. Good examples are 1:10 "lessonstocomplete", 1:41 onwards "exercises" at the end of the sentence is about half as short as it is a few second later in the middle of a sentence. 2:05 The whole sentence is pronounced crispy clear except for the last word "material". Anyways, try to not drop the end of a sentence! (I'm enjoying the content, please don't view this as hate!)

Thanks for the review. I especially like the suggestion to use both apps.. and how to pair them.

thank you for the informative review! I just finished the 7-day trial with pimsleur and just signed up for the annual subscription. To me, the biggest selling point, other than many mentioned in this video already, is that pimsleur offers spanish (spain - castilian). Not sure if babble offers that option as well, but from what I gathered by glancing at the main page, it doesn't seem so. And this option isn't available in Duolingo either.

I have traveled extensively and lived in Asia, Europe, and South America and have studied languages since childhood (Spanish, German, Mandarin, and Japanese). Now I’m focusing on different languages because I know full it make future trips to my next countries (Egypt, Pakistan, India) so more enjoyable. The locals ALWAYS appreciate English-speakers who are at least semi-functional in their language and they are more willing to help you during your trip. Plus, if you really hit it off you got a new lifelong friend. Nothing like expanding your mind!

Just a bit of helpful criticism, work on your enunciation. Speak a bit more slowly and clearly. You tend to get excited and your words run together

I feel like the longer lessons would more likely cause the lessons to be remembered. I'm currently using Busuu but I feel like I'm forgetting a lot since the lessons are so short. Ultimately I'm learning a new language to have more access to another culture. As I said before, I find the German language to be the most appealing, and the people seem really friendly and warm towards people learning their language.
