Berlin, Germany, March 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- This spring, Babbel.com is offering anyone traveling to a foreign city the chance to quickly and effectively prepare their language skills. The online language learning platform has new courses on the theme “Urban Explorations” in seven different languages.

Whether it’s a trip to Rome, Barcelona, Paris or anywhere else, compact learning units on themes like "Public Transport", "Looking for Accommodation", "Museums" or "Concerts and Clubs" give anyone the vocabulary to find their way. Just a few phrases in the local language come in handy for anyone wanting to participate in authentic city life.

Even just one 15-minute study session a day is enough to prepare. The personalized Review Manager guides learners through an individual learning program and helps them optimize their memory. An integrated speech recognition tool is also useful for practicing pronunciation.
