Think You Can’t Learn a Language? Think Again.

Tried a language app before and didn’t stick? Same. Life’s busy — you don’t need fluency overnight, just real-world confidence. Babbel is built by language experts and teaches what you’ll actually say, not random phrases. With just 10 minutes a day, you can start speaking in as little as 3 weeks. No homework. No pressure. Right now, Babbel is 55% off. Let this be the one that finally sticks.

LOCALS ONLY

• Big congrats to Aiden Ross, a Texas A&M sophomore from just outside Houston, who just won The Voice! It all started with a four-chair Adele cover and ended with a hometown hero moment.

• Scoring World Cup tickets in Houston next summer won’t be easy. Prices may drop 48 hours post-draw, but marquee matches could spike, so timing is everything. Take a look!
