Make Summer Epic With a New Language

The best summers are the ones packed with experiences you actually connect with. Imagine navigating a new city like a local, ordering off-menu, and actually understanding the conversation happening at the table next to you. All it takes is 10 minutes of Babbel a day: a quick lesson, a podcast, or some conversation practice in between sidequests.

The Babbel Method is designed to fit any lifestyle — learn your way, at your own pace. Start now and you could be having real conversations in a new language within 3 weeks, just in time for wherever the summer takes you. Start Babbel today and make this the most epic summer yet.

LOCALS ONLY

• A screening of James Bidgood’s 1971 queer experimental erotic film Pink Narcissus is going up on Friday with an accompanying live score by multidisciplinary artist, kraftwitch. Happy Pride.*

• Turning down a job opportunity like this? In this economy? Don’t be silly. We’re hiring a Content Strategy Specialist here at Do215, and if you love Philly as much as we do, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now.*
