Babbel or Duolingo? This is our polled readers’ favorite language-learning app

If there’s one thing that consistently features on my New Year’s resolutions list, it’s learning another language. As is tradition, that resolution is broken annually, but not for a lack of trying.

I’ve downloaded plenty of language-learning apps in the past, from Duolingo to Drops, but none have stuck. My colleague Rita believes she’s found the best solution in Babbel, thanks to its rich offerings and more natural lessons. What do our readers vouch for?
