Babbel Language Learning: Lifetime Subscription | $250 | StackSocial
Let’s not forget though just how long a lifetime subscription is. Babbel only launched in 2007. Who’s to say how many more languages they’ll have added by like 2080? Perhaps the language of our new alien overlords after we’re conquered in 2055 or maybe the speech of the Atlantis merfolk we make contact with to ally us in our rebellion against the aliens in 2068. Or, you know, maybe they’ll add Mandarin.
