While learning a new language is certainly an exciting time, it's also a fairly mammoth undertaking. It can also be hard to fit into your schedule regularly, which is where the best language learning apps come in. One of our favorites is Babbel, and you can currently snag a Babbel lifetime subscription for just $150 at StackSocial, but only for a few more days.

Babbel is one of our favorite language-learning apps, offering a selection of 14 languages. It's easy to use, and its school-type experience helps you stick to your learning goals. Right now you can get Babbel at one of its lowest prices of all time, through a StackSocial deal that gets you a lifetime subscription to Babbel to just $150. That's 74% less than the usual price of $599, beating even the current discount you can get from Babbel by 50%. This one-time payment gives you permanent access Babbel's language courses which you can tackle at your own pace without worrying about recurring fees.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Babbel's extensive language software includes Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Swedish, Indonesian, Portuguese and more. The lessons are short and to the point, allowing you to practice in 10- to 15-minute intervals that can fit into any schedule. Real-life topics include travel, family, business, food and others. A variety of skill levels are available, ranging from beginner to advanced, so the program can grow with you as you improve.

The speech-recognition technology will give you immediate feedback on pronunciation, so you don't just learn to read and write but how to listen and speak as well. You'll also get personalized review sessions to reinforce what you've learned. The program works across desktop and mobile devices. 

Although the internet is required most of the time, there is also an offline mode available where you can access courses, lessons and reviews without Wi-Fi, so long as you download them beforehand. Babbel also syncs your progress across your devices so that you can jump in from wherever is most convenient. 

Becoming fluent in a new language is a great way to stay engaged in learning, and the transferable skills you gain can open doors for leisure, work and beyond. Note that while you can access this program on as many devices as you want, this subscription offer is available only for new users.

Babbel is great value when compared with other online courses, especially with this current discount. So whether you're a lifelong learner or just want to pick up some basics for your globe-trotting adventures, this is a solid deal.
