Babbel.com - Language Learning Platform based in Berlin

May 18, 2009

next_logoI had the opportunity to spend some time with one of the founders of Babbel.com at a recent Next09 TechCrunch party. Babbel is a German startup based in Berlin - one of many innovative web applications launched here in the past few years. It is an Internet application for playful language learning. There are intuitive lessons and diverse opportunities to connect through the online community.

In the coming days I’ll have an in-depth interview with Markus focusing more on the team behind the company, the business model and their approach to market expansion.  For now, check out a bit more about the company through a Mashable.com article from 2008 following their funding announcement.

Also, you can watch Markus’ pitch at Next09 Startup Presentations... (NOTE: the Babbel pitch is the 3rd in this video - starting at 16:25)
