App is great, love grammar explanations which other apps lack. New subscriptions are unclear. I used to pay German on a monthly subscription monthly, and then paid for a year. I want to start Portuguese, but new subscriptions include languages. Unsure if a 3 month subscription on new scheme will cancel my access to German (I still have 6 months remaining). I don't mind paying a bit more for Portuguese, I originally thought to pay it monthly, but it makes no sense to "pay twice" for German.

Hi Emma, Thanks for reaching out to us. A standard Babbel subscription allows you to learn one language at a time. If you want to have access to more than one language offered by Babbel, we recommend the Babbel Complete or Lifetime offer. 🧡️ Feel free to contact us again for further information!

in comparison to Duolingo, I've learnt more Portuguese I can use in real life scenarios on this app, but the lessons are often too long, considering I usually will do it until I'm in bed, so it's definitely a struggle to keep my streak going. not sure if it's a bug on my side, but the review feature won't count as having completed a lesson for the day. there's a lot of things I'd like to revisit, but without it counting, I end up having to take new lessons and knowledge piles up with no review

I like many aspects of this app but the speaking component is terrible. At first I thought I was a bad speaker because everything was marked incorrect, but then I got my partner to try (native speaker) and she was also marked incorrect for nearly everything. I'm talking simple words like "pom". That's not good enough for a paid language learning app. Also there are far too many repetitive elements of lessons, like spelling the exact same phrase ad nauseam until it just feels like a chore.
