Babbel gives teachers 12 months of lessons for $86.16. The offer is for classroom teachers, principals and assistant principals, school employees, and college and university professors, and you claim it by verifying with ID.me. Babbel’s headline says teachers take up to 60% off, and ID.me lists teachers at 60% off.
Babbel is a language app built around short conversation-style lessons, so it suits a Spanish teacher brushing up over winter break as well as someone starting a new language from scratch. It brings words back through six memory stages, so what you learn tonight comes around again later, and it sets a personalized learning path for each learner.
How To Get The Babbel Teacher Discount
The only route to the teacher price is Babbel’s educator page. Here’s how it goes:
- Open Babbel’s educator page and select the Verify with ID.me button.
- Sign in to ID.me, or make a free account, and verify that you work in education. If you’re a school employee and you’re not sure your job counts, ID.me tells you when you verify.
- Come back to Babbel with your verification, pick the 12-month plan and check the price on the screen before you pay.
The educator page lists one plan: 12 months at $86.16. There’s no shorter teacher plan to choose from, and Babbel’s own page doesn’t put a monthly number on it. If you only want to try Babbel for a few weeks, a teacher subscription is a big commitment, and you may want to look at Duolingo or Rosetta Stone first.
Who Qualifies
Babbel names four groups: classroom teachers, principals and assistant principals, school employees, and college and university professors. ID.me’s Babbel listing uses the same four. Babbel doesn’t say whether substitutes, aides or tutors count, so if you’re one of those, start the ID.me check and see what it says before you plan around the discount.
Students and non-educators have different Babbel pages with their own pricing, and the educator page sends non-educators on to Babbel’s standard plans.
Cash Back On Babbel
Babbel is also in the cash back portals. Rakuten lists 2% cash back on Babbel, and Rakuten warns that coupon or promotional codes it doesn’t list can void your cash back, so activate it before you check out and don’t add a code. TopCashback has a Babbel page too, and it shows the teacher offer there with a cash back tag. Babbel’s educator page doesn’t say whether cash back can sit on top of the ID.me price, so check that your cash back tracks after you buy.
Fluz sells Babbel gift cards at 7% cashback. Rakuten doesn’t pay cash back on gift card purchases, so a Fluz gift card and Rakuten can’t be used together. Our Fluz, Rakuten and TopCashback pages explain how each one works.
