The Human Connection Hub
AI builds your skills. Humans build your confidence. Live classes, community, and language exchange — designed to complement your AI practice.
Why Humans Still Matter
AI characters are remarkable teachers. They're patient, available 24/7, and never judge your mistakes. But there's something they can't replicate: the feeling of being understood by another person.
Real humans bring cultural intuition that's hard to program. They laugh at your jokes, share stories from their lives, and give you the confidence boost that comes from genuine connection. They also introduce the healthy pressure of a real conversation — the kind that prepares you for ordering coffee in Madrid or chatting with your in-laws in São Paulo.
The Human Connection Hub isn't replacing AI practice — it's the bridge between practicing with characters and speaking confidently in the real world. Think of it as the final step before you're ready to go out there.
Three Ways to Connect
Structured learning with teachers, organic community with fellow learners, and peer-to-peer exchange with native speakers.
Live Classes
Small group sessions with native teachers who bring cultural depth and patient encouragement.
Community Hub
Subscriber-only Discord for practice, questions, and finding accountability partners.
Language Exchange
Get matched with native speakers learning your language for mutual practice sessions.
Why We're Building This
Babbel Live teachers changed my Spanish journey completely. Daily conversations with patient, encouraging humans made all the difference. When their service ended, I knew these teachers and this method were too valuable to lose. That's why we're building human connection alongside AI — not to replace it, but to complete it.
Rolling Out One Language at a Time
Building sustainably means building carefully. We're starting with Spanish and expanding as we recruit native teachers for each language.
Spanish launches first with teachers from former Babbel Live. Community hub opens.
Portuguese, French, Italian, and English roll out as we recruit native teachers.
