TL;DR: Set a New Year’s resolution: Learn up to 14 new languages with 71% off a Babbel lifetime subscription.

It was a classic New York moment: a packed subway with screaming tourists. I love eavesdropping, but since they were speaking Spanish, I couldn’t understand what was happening except that they were clearly lost and angry at each other. 

Then, it hit me: I live in one of the most diverse cities in the country, where it seems everyone speaks multiple languages, yet I only know English. It’s time to change that. I heard Babbel is the best language-learning app out there, and the New York Post has an unbeatable price on lifelong access: $169.99 (reg. $599).

I’ll be honest, I took Spanish in high school, but I remembered next to nothing from those lessons. The Babbel approach felt different right away with conversational language skills I’d use around the city: introducing myself, asking for directions, and ordering at restaurants.

Plus, it will be hard to forget what I’ve learned when the app constantly asks me to review my language skills. My biggest problem after high school was that I never used Spanish, but these lessons allow me to practice daily.

I can also practice my Spanish pronunciation with Babbel’s speech-recognition technology. Within each lesson, I’m promoted to speak new words and phrases aloud, and the app tells me if I did good or if I should try again — this way, I won’t embarrass myself in front of locals and tourists.

You can learn a new language with a Babbel lifetime subscription for $169.99 (reg. $599) at the New York Post. You won’t find a better price anywhere else.
