Did you know “konnichiwa” technically means “good afternoon”? It’s not a universal “hello.” Use it at the wrong time of day in Japan, and you might get a puzzled, though polite, look. If you’re going to speak a new language, you might as well do it right. With a Babbel Lifetime Subscription, you can learn the nuances of up to 14 languages, including German, French, and, of course, Japanese.

Babbel is built to actually make you conversational. Each lesson takes just 10–15 minutes, perfect for squeezing into your day between meetings, errands, or commutes. And it’s not just vocabulary drills. Babbel’s courses cover real-world situations, including asking for directions, shopping, traveling, and meeting new people.

It also includes speech recognition to help with pronunciation, so you don’t sound like a tourist asking for the bathroom in broken syllables. You can even download lessons for offline learning.

Whether you want to finally understand your favorite anime, prepare for your next trip, or pick up a new skill, Babbel makes it easy and accessible.

Get a Babbel lifetime subscription for $129.99 with code LEARN40 before May 4 at 11:59 P.M. PT — and stop misusing “konnichiwa” while you’re at it.
