I, like most of you, have been in a situation where a little more knowledge of a foreign language would come in handy. Babbel is an online language-learning system that teaches conversation skills for different languages. The languages that users can gain knowledge of are Spanish, French, Italian, German and English. With Babbel, users can learn words and phrases in foreign languages and connect with people from all over the world. Students and teachers can practice on their own with the intuitive online lessons or find a study partner in the international Babbel community.
Babbel contains a bunch of vocabulary (around 150 Vocabulary Packages, 3000 words), grammar exercises and explains how to put it all into practice. Whether the user wants to learn the basics or they are looking for special exercises for travel or for work, Babbel’s extensive collection of learning material offers lots of interesting and high quality content.
I am actually going to be using this site to see if I can learn a little Spanish seeing as how that is the popular language down here in Florida.

Tim,
This tool looks like it could be very useful. I like how you can set your goals, and it guides you toward meeting them. Lately several ELL students have transferred into our school, and I would really like to communicate better with them. My Spanish is very rusty, though. It seems like Babbel could be the answer to my problem.
