Studies on the pedagogical effectiveness of the Babbel app and its didactic methods show, in short, that Babbel works.

-According to a Babbel user survey of 45,000 users in spring of 2016, 73% of learners felt ready for their first conversation after five hours of instruction, and 97% would recommend the app to friends and associates.

-These numbers were augmented by a scholarly study completed in fall of 2016 by the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of South Carolina: 81% of study participants stated that they had improved their Spanish abilities with Babbel. After only 15 hours of study with Babbel, participants had learned the equivalent of a semester’s worth of college Spanish.

- In 2019, Michigan State University undertook a study of the effectiveness of Babbel’s didactic methods and found that 97% of participants who had engaged in a total of 10 hours of Babbel or more showed improvements in vocabulary and grammar tests, and 73% also improved their conversational abilities.
