If you plan on traveling this spring or summer (specifically internationally), learning a language can come in handy. Even if you don't have international travel plans, knowing multiple languages can help you speak to friends or coworkers. But learning a language can be difficult with a busy schedule. Babbel's language learning software is a great way to learn a new language. It's an app on your phone so you can practice anytime. Babbel also has a lifetime subscription, so there's no monthly charges or unexpected additional costs.
Babbel's lifetime subscription usually costs a staggering $599, but it's now reduced in a limited time offer from StackSocial. This deal slashes the cost to $170. But there are still additional savings to be had. Use the code LEARN40 and the price will drop to just $130.
Babbel's extensive language software includes Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Swedish, Indonesian, Portuguese and more. Lessons are short so you won't find yourself overwhelmed with information. The skill levels range from beginner to advanced, and the content advances at your pace.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Babbel's speech recognition software offers instant feedback so you know where you're going right and where things can be improved, and personalized review sessions help reinforce what you've already learned.
The Babbel app works on phones and on computers, and while you do need an internet connection to get the most out of it, an offline mode does still give you access to key features if you download them ahead of time.

Why this deal matters
A lifetime subscription is always a good way to avoid adding another monthly fee to your growing collection, and it removes the pressure of a restrictive timeline from your learning. Plus, buying lifetime access directly from Babbel would normally cost $599. Even with the current promotion, this StackSocial deal beats the price by a long shot. Just make sure to order your subscription before this deal ends and remember that you have only 30 days after your purchase to redeem the subscription.
