The pandemic has been difficult for students whose second language is English. Language has also been a barrier to getting critical COVID-19 information to non-English speaking communities. This period has demonstrated the value of speaking a second language, especially in helping your community and providing that service. However, learning a second language isn't easy — especially when you can't take a class in person.

That's where the Babbel Language Learning App comes in. You can have lifetime access to this app for only $299, a 40% discount of its usual price $499. The app has already sold more than 10 million subscriptions — and for good reason. The app is designed by more than 100 linguists who offer real-life scenarios to help you learn. Plus, the app features interactive dialogues so you can practice speaking, despite learning digitally. The app features 14 languages, including Spanish, French, Italian and German. You don't have to limit yourself to learning just one.

Babbel is the best-selling language learning app for a reason. Users have spoken highly of the app, raving about how easy it is to use and that it feels almost like real-life classes. The app comes with speech recognition-technology to help you master your pronunciation. You can even download lessons beforehand if you know you'll be out of internet service, which could be helpful once we return to our usual commuting and traveling lifestyles.
