Babbel’s classic product makes digital language-learning possible through a number of trainer functions that teach users language concepts through text, images, and audio (please find examples in the “Trainers” section).

This challenge is your invitation to build a trainer with your unique fingerprint, showcasing your own design intuition and technical creativity. Help us shape the future of language learning! Reinvent language-learning in the digital space, and connect people to new worlds and new experiences through the journey a new language offers!

A few topics for inspiration:

Learn that Tune

Some people learn better when the lesson is in the form of a song. A trainer that incorporates song lyrics could help our learners retain information better.

Accessibility++

Finding new ways to allow our trainers to be accessible (e.g. by the blind or deaf) would ensure that EVERYONE is learning languages.

Teach the Teacher

Can you teach a computer to speak a language? Can you teach it to teach you?

Virtual Learning

Being able to learn how to speak virtually using everyday situations (like ordering at a restaurant) would allow our learners to get the right help at the right time.
