Language-learning platform on Tuesday announced the launch of its new feature called Babbel Speak, which is designed to help first-time learners go from silence to speech. Introduced to the Babbel app via a new tab on the home screen, the AI-powered, voice-led trainer solves one of the most common barriers in language learning: not knowing how to begin speaking. 
Newly appointed Babbel CEO Tim Allen, who took over the role in June, discusses his expectations for the enhanced features as well as competition from the likes of Duolingo, and wearable translation aides from Apple and Alphabet. Tim speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
