Babbel -- has anyone tried it? There is no free trial or even screenshots or course descriptions. They ask a few questions, get your email and request a payment. A bit of wtf.

For that type of website, I found it's pretty great, better than Duolingo. I could recommend paying for a month to try it out.

I used to work there, and it depends on your level. They used to put a lot of emphasis on having a didactics team building the lessons, so the older ones (eg. early mid-level) tend to be pretty good, at least I know from trying German and seeing the Spanish lessons, not sure about all languages. They’ve since pivoted to “short and entertaining” which made the quality suffer, and I hear they’re now pivoting to AI and letting go their didactics teams
