The Berlin based Babbel.com just launched its first Premium Course about a week ago. It is called “Spanisch – der leichte Einstieg (Spanish – the easy Start)” and based on the course “Spanisch ganz einfach in 20 Tagen” from Christof Kehr published by Hueber.
Babbel describes itself as the language platform for
Playful and Efficient Learning
At Babbel you can learn useful vocabulary with a fun and intuitive multimedia trainer that uses images and real voices.A sophisticated refresher tool keeps track of your progress and lets you know what, and when, you need to review.
You can learn on your own or with the help of the 250.000 member strong community. Therefore the main competitors are of course Livemocha.com and busuu.com.
Babbel offers a nice and clean interface. Even if the site might need some time to load when you enter it you won’t have annoying waiting times during the vocabulary practice.
Babbel's Premium Spanish Course
Let’s have a closer look on the premium course. The course itself consists of 20 lessons with several exercises in each lesson. For the first lesson I needed around 30 minutes which is quite nice. It’s not too much so you can fit it into your busy schedule. Or just do half of it and the second part later. The system will remember where you left.
The exercises are all looking nice and are easy to handle. Different types of exercises make the experience even more interesting.
I am trying to do one lesson of the Spanish Premium Course per day right now. So lets see, if I am able to speak Spanish at the end of this month 
.
All in all I have a very good impression of Babbel and I am sure that I will post a detailed review about this company in my hometown, soon.
