About Babbel

Babbel was founded in 2007 by Thomas Holl, Markus Witte, Lorenz Heine, and Toine Diepstraten, born from a simple observation: a significant gap in the market for online language learning solutions. Driven by a purpose to create mutual understanding through language, Babbel quickly became the first online language learning app. It has since grown to offer 60,000 lessons across 14 languages, helping over 25 million users worldwide connect and communicate.
