Football × Language Learning
Player interviews, press conferences, the chants on the away end. Babel FC is a language-learning app made for football fans abroad. Skip the textbook — start with the words your favorite club actually uses.
WHY BABEL FC
REAL CONTENT
A generic language app teaches you "I went to the bakery." It never teaches you what your favorite player just said in an interview. Babel FC starts from the language football actually uses — match commentary, player quotes, press conferences, preview articles, the chants from the away end. From day one you learn the words and phrases that show up in your club's coverage.
YOUR CLUB INSIDE
Pick your league and your club, and that club's fixtures, table, and headlines come right into the app. The language you're learning and the club you support sit on the same screen. Tonight's match preview becomes tomorrow's study material — naturally.
ROLE PROGRESSION
A1, A2, B1 — those numbers don't mean much when you're not in a classroom. Babel FC tracks progress in metaphors football fans already know. Reserve → Sub → Starter → Captain → Legend. You always know where you stand on the squad.
