While free is definitely a winner on the Web, but if you grow up and have quite some following, you are bound to put a price. Especially if you are providing the best or one of the best service, users wont mind paying a few bucks. Babbel today released version 2.0 of its translation service and language learning platform and is available in major languages including, English, French, Italian, Spanish and German. The bad part, it will now be abandoning its freemium model and only the first part of each course will be available for free while full access would cost $6.65 and $11.95 a month.

Well I agree that many users wont like the idea of the paid model. But you can’t really blame Babbel and others who charge you for providing licensed works.
