Google’s September 29 press conference in San Francisco was one of the company’s most eventful shows in years. The theme was Pairs, and things did indeed come in twos. The Internet giant brought out two Nexus phones this year: LG’s mid-range Nexus 5X and Huawei’s high-end Nexus 6P. And Google also showed off two new Chromecast devices, one with significantly upgraded Wi-Fi and the other focused on audio.

Beyond hardware, the long-awaited Android 6.0 Marshmallow update was on tap of course, too, as were tidbits like a new $15 a month family subscription for Google Play Music and Spotify integration with Chromecast. Google also teased the Pixel C, a convertible device that runs Android and acts like a tablet PC with a keyboard

Learning a new language no longer requires you to make time for formal classes because there are now several language learning apps that you can tap. One of them is Babbel, and you can currently get a lifetime subscription to the online learning platform for only $150 from StackSocial. That's $449 off its original price of $599, but we don't know how much time is remaining before the offer expires. If you want to take advantage of the 74% discount, it's highly recommended that you complete the transaction immediately.

Why you should buy the Babbel lifetime subscription
A lifetime subscription to Babbel not only unlocks the possibility of learning one or two new languages, as the platform encompasses a total of 14 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Indonesia, Norwegian, Danish, and Russian. You'll be learning your new language of choice with lessons that only take 10 minutes to 15 minutes each to complete, so unlike classes with a rigid schedule, you can learn at your own pace and at any time you're free through Babbel. The lessons cover real-life topics, and they use speech recognition technology to help you master pronunciation. You'll then test yourself through personalized review sessions that will help make sure that you retain all the information that's being taught to you.
