Pretty Good!

For as far back as I can remember, I wanted to speak french. When I finally decided to try to learn, I agonized, literally, over which software to use (either Babbel or Rosetta) for quite a while before I decided to give Babbel a try. Im VERY happy that I did! Its extremely user-friendly & the lessons are easy to grasp. If you have difficulty you can repeat the lesson as often as you like until you get it. Also, there are wonderful little info balloons chocked full of additional background information/explanations that pop-up at just the right time to give you better understanding. The feature that swayed me the most was the fact that Babbel gives you the translations for the language that you are learning & being that association helps me retain information better, this was best for me.
Now... "only" two complaints! (1)- This iPhone companion app tells you that youve entered the wrong answer when you have to type the translation, even though you entered it FLAWLESSLY *flips hair*
(2)- Similar problem occurs with the voice recognition when you are doing the Listen & Repeat portions of each chapter. Software will not accept the spoken answer or keeps cutting you off by indicating that you were incorrect before youve even had a chance to say anything! That is VERY frustrating
