Forget Tinder — this language app played cupid in Paris (now 76% off)

TL;DR: Save 76% on a Babbel lifetime subscription through September 3 and learn up to 14 new languages. 

Babbel didn’t just teach me French…it helped me meet the love of my life. I was in a little café in Paris, and a beautiful man came up and introduced himself to me — in French. 

Thankfully, I had downloaded the language-learning app before my friend's bachelorette trip to Paris. So I understood him. Mostly. The sparks flew instantly. I was so lucky to have stumbled across that Babbel lifetime deal when I had. It was only $139.97, compared to $599, and I couldn’t find a better price anywhere else.

How French lessons became a love story

After Louis and I met at the café, my friend kept calling Babbel the cupid of language-learning apps. I didn’t know how fluent I could become from an app, but with Louis’s phone number in my pocket, I was determined to give it a chance.

I set a goal on Babbel to practice for 20 minutes daily and become as fluent as possible. Babbel has more than just the basic greetings — I learned to talk about my job, order in a bar, discuss environmental issues, and buy theater tickets. 

But I was more than a little nervous for my date with Louis. What if I couldn’t understand him? Or worse, what if he couldn’t understand me? Babbel’s speech-recognition technology helped ease my anxiety (a little) by assuring me I was somewhat on the right track. Louis just told me I had an American accent.

When I got home, Louis and I promised to keep in touch. I took some live lessons through Babbel. While these are an additional cost, you get two free ones with this lifetime deal, which were tremendously helpful in boosting my confidence before Louis visited me in New York.

I’ve been using Babbel for about a year now, and when I saw that the lifetime subscription price was back down I had to encourage you to try it for yourself. You never know what doors it could open.
