There are better-designed learning alternatives out there
I used Babbel unpaid for a while, after which I decided to splurge for the paid version, all in an effort to learn Portuguese. I have since discovered after letting my paid subscription expire that there are better paid alternatives out there. Heck, I'd go as far as to claim that the free version of Duolingo is better for learning than the paid version of Babbel. Babbel's price tag is simply indefensible., , My main gripe with Babbel is the incredibly annoying auto-advance feature that prevented me from listening to a sentence featured at the end of an exercise as many times as I needed to. Too often I found myself asking: "Wait.... What did he/she just say?” and then realized that there was no way of hearing that particular sentence in that particular part of the exercise without redoing the entire exercise again, which was  irksome, to say the least., , Secondly, some of the voice actors they use are just awful and a pain to listen to. One guy in particular comes to mind..... he always sounded drunk and half asleep...... with his mouth full of food. It was like listening to a Portuguese Droopy., , All in all, Babbel is a decent concept. Having paid for it once, however, I could never be convinced that I got my money's worth.
