Are you looking to learn a new language but unsure of where to start? Language is key to our understanding of different cultures and nationalities. Understanding the basics of a new language can immensely aid when traveling or interacting with business partners from another region or country. Learning a few crucial phrases is a great first step in increasing your cultural competency and connecting with people of other cultures. Check out our top five favorite language softwares and begin learning your new skill.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/span> Rosetta Stone<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Long regarded as the language learning go-to, Rosetta Stone has been successful for so many years for a reason. With lessons that are short enough to comprehend, but long enough to encourage meaningful understanding and language concepts, Rosetta Stone has perfected lesson delivery. With reading, writing, speaking, and listening, Rosetta Stone\u2019s lessons appeal to all learners, regardless of preferred learning style. Rosetta Stone offers 25 different languages including Hebrew, Vietnemese, and Swedish, in addition to the languages you traditionally see. Pricing starts at $7.99\/month.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Babbel<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Babbel is arguably the most challenging language software, but adds practical value. Focused on common phrases and crucial words, Babbel skips over some of the elementary lessons in order to focus on skills that apply to daily life. Babbel is also relatively inexpensive (as low as $6.95\/month) compared to some alternative softwares and is based on a subscription model that is easy to discontinue. Babbel offers 14 different languages, primarily focused on European dialects.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Mondly<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

With an impressive 33 native languages, Mondly takes your first language into account when structuring lessons. This inclusive step is an important feature of the software as studies show <\/span>that using your native language as a foundation for learning another helps you learn more successfully. Since many other platforms are geared towards English-speakers, Mondly is unique in this approach to learning. Mondly offers these same 33 languages to learn, making it one of the most diverse platforms available. Like Babbel, Mondly also focuses on situational phrases and words to provide context. Mondly is slightly pricier, starting at $9.99\/month.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Duo Lingo<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Slightly newer to the stage, Duo Lingo has made a name for itself via it\u2019s free on-the-go app. With 36 languages offered, Duo Lingo is great for those who want to begin exploring a new language without making a huge commitment. Some stand out languages include Catalan, Arabic, Welsh, Swahili, and Esperanto. Duo Lingo is also a good tool for those looking to brush up on their skills. Gamification of the lessons makes the app engaging and rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Rocket Languages<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Like Babbel, Rocket Languages focuses on equipping you with the words and phrases you need to know for your next trip. With emphasis on pronunciation and grammar, Rocket Languages focuses on conversations and everyday phrases. However, reading, writing, and listening lessons are included to ensure you\u2019re ready for any situation. Rocket Languages offers 12 languages including American Sign Language, a unique offering. Rocket Languages starts at $99.95 for lifetime use.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
