TL;DR: New users can get lifetime access to all 14 languages on Babbel for $159 with promo code LEARN until September 8.

You can only point at a menu and smile for so long before it’s time to speak the local lingo. If your version of “fluent” means Googling phrases at dinner, it might be time for a smarter approach.

Babbel gives travelers real tools to speak confidently — not just vocabulary lists or parroting random sentences. With 14 languages (and a lifetime to learn them), you can prep for your trip to Italy, brush up on your high school Spanish, or finally learn how to order coffee in Paris without breaking into a sweat. Through September 8, use code LEARN to take advantage of this exclusive offer for $159 (MSRP $299).

Lessons are just 10 to 15 minutes, so you can sneak in some practice between passport renewals and packing lists. And unlike some apps that feel more like games, Babbel focuses on useful conversations: directions, transportation, dining, shopping, and even making pals abroad.

The app works across devices (even offline if you download lessons ahead of time), and it uses speech-recognition technology to help with pronunciation so you’re not just learning the words, you’re learning how to say them like you belong. You also get access to Babbel’s AI conversation partner and personalized review sessions to help everything stick.

Download the app, pick a language (or all 14), and start sounding like a local before your next flight boards.

Grab this lifetime subscription to Babbel Language Learning for just $159 when you use promo code LEARN at checkout by September 8 — way less than a single semester of college Spanish.

Big banks are quietly scrubbing the public record of their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies following US President Donald Trump’s upheaval of the controversial practice.

Citing banking executives, lawyers and other insiders familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reports that JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are all “watering down” their language on DEI, while Wells Fargo and Bank of America are also starting to analyze their language.

It marks the first time that Wall Street has pulled away from DEI since first embracing it in 2020.

The banks’ pivot is in reaction to Trump’s signing of the executive order titled “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing” targeting DEI, plus his rescinding of over 80 executive orders signed by former US President Joe Biden that touch on DEI.

Morgan Stanley has reportedly deactivated a page on its website promoting a scholarship and recruiting program that was advertised as being for people who are “historically underrepresented in the financial services industry.”

If the link is reactivated, WSJ reports that Morgan Stanley will most likely reword it so the program is being advertised to a wider array of applicants.

Certain banks have also been warned by their lawyers that keeping DEI practices in place after erasing public affirmations of them leaves them at risk for criticism or potential litigation if whistleblowers alert federal officials or activists.

FOX News reported that workers and civil rights organizations have begun suing to stop Trump’s executive orders, arguing among other things, that they will negatively affect certain groups of people.

White House spokesman Harrison Fields said the Trump administration was “ready to face them in court.”
