No need to be tech-savvy

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

It is easy to navigate and user friendly. It can offer customised courses tailored to fit the language needs of the employees. It can also address the needs of multicultural companies as it offers more than 13 languages to work on.

Cons:

Most of the downs are about the nature of online learning apps: limited interaction, limited cultural diversity and opportunities for language exchange.

Learn New Language

5.0 10 months ago

Pros:

Babble for Business is easy to use- very user friendly. Although learning a new language at my age isn’t the easiest it is something I enjoy. The games/activities make it a more enjoyable experience learning a new language.

Cons:

You unfortunately will not become a fluent speaker with Babble however, it is a great start at increasing your language skills. You will learn the basics, but basics for me, are good enough :) basics can get you far!

A great and fun way to learn new languages

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: A great app to learn the basics of a new language without in a fun and interactive way.

Pros:

The app is really easy to use. It creates a fun learning experience with games and activities that improve the experience of learning. It Helped me learn the basics of German, as well as a lot of vocabulary

It will not get you to be a fluent speaker, it just helps you learn the basics. It is not a substitute to an actual language course.

Why Babbel?

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I learned about Babbel after I had been on a trip to Europe and was motivated and encouraged to learn another language. My favorite part of Babbel is the every-day tutorials of learning the new language. Babbel doesn't pressure you into learning anything fancy. The program teaches the basics and builds from there. It's curriculum is based around every conversation.

Cons:

Sharing progress with coworkers or learning together through the software could be a useful feature to add to the Babbel program.

Applicazione amica delle aziende

Valida opzione per imparare una lingua in modo flessibile e conveniente

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Babbel è una piattaforma di apprendimento linguistico ideale per le persone di tutte le età. La struttura ben organizzata dei corsi, l'accessibilità da dispositivi mobili, le lezioni interattive e i contenuti reali rendono l'esperienza di apprendimento coinvolgente. La possibilità di monitorare il progresso e impostare obiettivi personalizzati è un vantaggio apprezzabile. Tuttavia, la mancanza di interazione umana potrebbe essere un limite per chi cerca una pratica di conversazione più intensa. Nel complesso, Babbel è una valida opzione per imparare una lingua in modo flessibile e conveniente.

Pros:

Tra i vantaggi di babbel abbiamo sicuramente che l'app è molto flessibile, troviamo un'ottima struttura dei corsi, ci si dedica tanto alla comunicazione, usano contenuti reali, realmente accaduti e infine che possiamo studiare varie lingue in contemporanea.

Cons:

Tra gli svantaggi di babbel abbiamo che dipende completamente da internet, altrimenti non funziona, il fatto che richiede un impegno finanziario perchè ha dei costi e infine limiti nella formazione avanzata.

Recensione Babbel for Business: perchè conviene

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Nel complesso Babbel for Business mi ha permesso di imparare una nuova lingua che mi è stata utile per scopi di lavoro, consiglio questo software poichè permette di potersi confrontare con dei docenti di lingua straniera e di migliorare il proprio livello linguistico.

Pros:

Di Babbel for Business mi è piaciuto molto il poter apprendere con grande serietà e rapidità la conoscenza di una lingua straniera. Il software si presenta con una homepage molto chiara e lineare a chiunque voglia far utilizzo di questo software, il software può essere utilizzato su più dispositivi e questo consente all'utente di poter avere una maggiore comodità. Inoltre è facile da utilizzare.

Cons:

L'unico difetto che mi è piaciuto di meno sono stati i piani tariffari che a mio modesto avviso risultano un pò troppo cari economicamente parlando anche se valgono il prezzo che il software propone.
