I'm using just to 'get started'... I'm not expecting a lot. Once completed I'll get more serious about it and move on.
I'm only a week into Babble... so I can't really judge their system at this time... BUT... I do 'suspect' that it's not as good as Pimsleur for a 'quick' intro to another language and the basics. I could be wrong, I'll see.
But again, I'm not using Babble to get 'fluent'... if that happens great but all I'm doing is using it to get started. - JamesJM
