Heading to Europe this summer? Or perhaps a more far-flung place like a tropical island in Asia? Wherever your wanderlust takes you, it’s a good idea to brush up on the local lingo before you jet off. Your summer adventures abroad will be a lot more fun if you can do more than just ask for the nearest bathroom or haggle for a market souvenir.

Babbel is an app that makes language-learning way less taxing. Touted as the #1-selling language learning app and trusted by millions of aspiring polyglots, it helps you gain fluency in your language of choice in no time. And through June 17, you can get a lifetime subscription on sale for only $199.99 — no coupon needed.

A subscription to Babbel automatically nets you unlimited access to over 10,000 hours of online language education, spread across 14 distinct languages. Thousands of hours of courses may seem intimidating, but don’t fret, they’re all packaged into 10 to 15-minute mini lessons that you can easily squeeze into your hectic schedule.

The entire curriculum was developed by over 100 expert linguists using strategies from the likes of Yale University, so you can expect the lessons to stick. If not, there are also personalized review sessions that you can take to reinforce what you’ve learned so far.

The lessons themselves are anything but boring, a far cry from the typical vocabulary and grammar lessons you usually see online. They’re focused on practical topics you can actually use in real-world scenarios, including dining, shopping, making friends, business, and more.

Plus, all courses are downloadable, so you can access them anytime, anywhere, even without WiFi. You can use any device to continue your lessons on the go.
