You know you created a good product and valuable content when a competitor bluntly copies your stuff. So, lucky us, we know we did something right. Let’s take a look at our Super Heroes quiz:
Now, let’s take a look at one of our competitors. Click here to compare. Looks quite similar, doesn’t it? They are still missing the cool pictures, though.
Thanks for the compliment.

A recent study by Jan Fidrmuc (Senior lecturer in economics, Brunel University, London) and Jarko Fidrmuc (Professor of political economy, University of Munich) found that bilateral trade between European countries depends positively on the probability that two randomly chosen individuals, one from each country, would be able to communicate with each other in English.
OK, you might think, that sounds like a no-brainer, what’s the point?
The point is: The ability to communicate in one common language, say English, has a positive impact on trade. The two professors indicate that by bringing all European countries up to the level of English proficiency enjoyed by the Dutch could increase European trade by 70%.
70% !!! Hello? That is AMAZING !!!
A 70% increase in European trade – by improving English? That sounds like the best economic stimulus package I have seen so far.
No need for billions and billions of Euros, simply use for bab.la and start learning English by using the vocabulary lessons, the languages quizzes, the games, the dictionary… 
I should start writing a letter to our German chancellor with the header “bab.la instead of billions” right away…
Have a good day,
Thomas
We like our users to poke their nose into every function we have, or to say it in other words: to give immediate feedback. Some time ago we added the vote function for relevancy of a translation. Today we kind of expanded the function for you to use it on the sample sentences. It’s “kind of” because we modified it a bit. Instead of voting up and down you can give the sentence a smile if you think it is a great sample sentence or request it to be removed if you think it is crap. The screenshot should give you a good first impression.
As always: Send me an email if you have any additional suggestions or something doesn’t work the way it should.
Best,
Andreas
