Babbel – Learn Dutch App Reviews

Good apps but crash too almost every time.

I looove this app! Its much better to use Babbel on the ipad than the laptop ! Much easier and nicer! Now i use it everyday and know that im improving !!!!

I LOVE this app. Easy to use, so fun and very informative. Explains really well with fun activities and builds previous knowledge at a fair rate. I cant believe Im learning Dutch! Thought it was impossible until Babbel, dank u wel!!!

Its helpful... when it actually works. Unfortunaty this app tends to crash more often then not. I would not recommend paying even 1$ for this service until they fix their bugs

This is a fantastic system in language learning. You can choose one or thirteen languages and it is such a fun and effective way to learn a language or several.

It only tells you how to say hi and good bye for the rest you have to select a payment plan and the cheapest payment plan is $13.99.A month really bad time waster

I overcame my fear of learning new language with this app.

Does not even start on ios 7.0.3

An incredible app. If only it had advanced levels of Dutch.

Ive tried it few weeks ago and really liked the app. I decided to subscribe but after last update its continuously crashing. Cant do anything in it. Its frustrating. Please fix ASAP.

Nice course. The best one among others. One more positive thing: customer service and feedback are at lightning speed :) Really, answering the question Youll get answer within very few minutes. Thats nice

This app is a smart way to study

Why do you display the monthly payments when you dont have them as a feature. Can you please create a choice between monthly and one-time payments?

This is my main language learning app. I like how they thread the grammar throughout the lessons. It is organic, but structured. I also love the special lessons- idioms, writing, tongue twisters, etc. My only complaint is in terms of the flash cards. I wish there was a way to reverse them. It is not helpful to only be able to recall the phrase in connection to the English. I would like to practice translating the Dutch to English. It helps recalls memory to do so. The other suggestion I would make is to have a scale for the flash cards. How well do you remember it rather than just a happy or sad face. (Think Anki) I do love this program and hope that they continue to improve and add sections. Looking forward to learning many languages with this company. Thanks Babbel!

This a quality piece of language learning software that combines flash cards with voice recognition. You repeat a word in Dutch and you are scored on how well you pronounce it. That is the game aspect my son enjoys. The software also remembers the words you know and those that are more challenging (jeurgdherberg, for instance), and it asks you to review the words. The graphics are fantastic, as though the app developer used real professional photographers, but they are fun too. I would suggest some screen in the app for metrics on progress in mastering the language. Keep score, and compare scores to others, in other words. The ability to have multiple accounts for one language on one device would also be nice. My 7 year old and I pick up languages at a different pace.

Ive got lots of tools for learning Dutch. I started with podcasts. And I still think they are number one for learning to hear/speak a new language. But Babbel is number two. The combination of audio, text, photos, repetition, spelling and speech recognition is really great. Unlike podcasts Babbel requires you to focus whenever you use it. I upgraded to a paid account. I use Babbel on the website and my iPhone, but the iPad is my favorite interface. The review feature is similar to Anki. Its a good measure of whether you really know a word or not. Please add more Dutch lessons. Thanks for helping me learn Dutch!

I compared the Dutch to the French versions of this app. After deciding to learn Dutch, I ordered a subscription and got started. I was bummed to learn that the Dutch app is missing very important things that are included in the French app. Things like grammar and usage are needed, but not included in the Dutch app. The Dutch app does teach many words, but those words are useless if you dont learn how to make proper sentences. I feel like its incomplete, compared to the French app and at the same monthly cost. Good thing Babbel has a 20 day money back guarantee.

To learn a language you are required to purchase a subscription which renews automatically until you remember to cancel it. The company relies on you not remembering to cancel it. They do not send you an e-mail reminder, they just charge you. There is no telephone support. The only way to get support of any kind is through e-mail. I strongly recommend avoiding this app and company.

I love using this app!!

Very interactive program
