Upon returning to a more gloomy climate, we began dreaming of another trip the following year.
Anyone who hasnt been sleeping under a rock will know why that holiday never happened.
A few years later, the conversations started happening again.
Our family conversations quickly turned to us trying to remember the French that we had learnt back in school.
I opened the app store and searched for learn a language.
Without too much persuading, I downloaded the app and launched it.
I love this approach.
The first step involved choosing the right course based on ability.
My level of French, as Ive previously admitted, is rudimentary at best.
I began with the Newcomer 1 course.
Through a series of questions and word-matching exercises, the app guides you through learning new words and phrases.
I remember my French lessons at school very clearly.
Shame and embarrassment seem to die slowly.
It’s also incredibly useful feedback that is integrated into the lessons.
I found the practice part of the lessons to be the most useful.
They were not only helpful but also far more engaging than simple word matching and vocabulary practice.
Another feature that Ive not had the confidence to try yet is Babbel Live.
It was launched during the pandemic and is designed to boost learning through live classes with teachers.
I also like the fact that each class only includes up to 6 people.
So far, I have enjoyed my Babbel experience and feel more confident than ever.
