Black Friday deals extend way beyond the realm of tech. You can get discounts on just about everything right now, and that includes some of the best language learning platform options available. What could be better after Thanksgiving than using a Black Friday discount to learn something new?

Right now, StackSocial has a deal on which knocks Babbel down to just $130 as long as you use the code LEARN. That's an incredible discount, and one that we're not expecting to last for very long. Don't miss out on this one if you're looking to learn some new languages soon.

Babbel's extensive language software includes French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Lessons are short, so you won't get overwhelmed, and the content is self-paced. Skill levels range from beginner to advanced. 

Babbel's speech recognition software offers instant feedback. You'll see what you're doing right and where to improve, and personalized review sessions help reinforce what you've already learned. The Babbel app, which works on phones and computers, does best with an internet connection. But an offline mode also provides access to key features if you download them ahead of time.

Babbel has been one of our favorites for learning new languages -- and we've rounded up a few more best language learning app options to check out

Why this deal matters

A lifetime subscription is a good way to avoid adding another monthly fee to your growing collection. It also removes the pressure of imposing a restrictive timeline on your learning. Buying lifetime access directly from Babbel would normally cost $299.

Even with the current promotion, this StackSocial deal beats the price by a long shot. Just make sure to order your subscription before this deal ends. You have only 30 days after your purchase to redeem the subscription. 

Note: Although this is advertised as a lifetime subscription, there are no guarantees that purchases will be supported for life. As we've seen in the past, a change of ownership, a service shutting down or some other unforeseen circumstance may result in your lifetime subscription ending sooner than anticipated.
