Language Courses at UBC

1

Lingbe

You get as much from language learning as you put in; Course-work only takes you so far, take a look at everyone who learned french in high school and haven't used it since. You can take an intro course and reinforce it with Babble or Duolingo. You can connect with private tutors in iTalki to practice your conversational skills. You can use Lingbe or HelloTalk to talk to native speakers or other learners. You can use UBC Tandem to connect you with a native speaker who themselves want to learn the language that you're willing to teach. You can then fill all your free time with podcasts in your target language to get that full immersive experience. It's really up to you, go at a pace you're comfortable with.

Babbel

Otherwise if it doesn't meet an elective req and you're taking it just to learn a new language, there are definitely cheaper options available to you, i.e. The Babble app.
