Babbel

Polyglot's phone download

Babbel is a language-learning app and platform offering courses in multiple languages through interactive lessons, speech recognition, and spaced repetition.

Like Duolingo and Rosetta Stone, it targets casual learners seeking practical conversation skills: I've been using Babbel to brush up on my Spanish before the trip.
