The new year is nearly upon us, and whether or not you're big on setting resolutions, there is something about the blank slate of the start of the year that can make finally starting a new habit feel a little more accessible.

If you're looking for some structure and accountability, signing up for classes in whatever skill you're looking to improve can be a help, and luckily, there are course subscription deals in most topics you could think of, thanks sales from three separate services: Babbel, Coursera Plus, and MasterClass, with the latter two options offering 50% discounts, and the former offering up to a 65% discount for a lifetime subscription.

Among these three services, your bases in what you can learn, from language to professional development courses to cooking and tennis — if there's a skill you've been looking to work on, odds are there's some version of a class in one of these services. Below, you can find more info on each deal, from pricing, to course offerings and the deal terms.

Best deal for language learning: Babbel

Opens in a new window Credit: Babbel Babbel $199
$599 Save $400 Save $400 on a lifetime subscription

Why we like it

Learning a language, or getting back into one, can feel like a daunting task, but Babbel seeks to make it easier. Upon sign up, users can start from the beginning of courses designed to get you speaking within weeks, or take a placement test if they have prior experience with a language. Babbel offers 13 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Indonesian, Norwegian, Danish, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, Turkish, Dutch, and Polish. It's a fairly limited number, but as PCMag (our sister site also owned by Ziff Davis) noted in their review, each language's lessons feel tailored to the language itself so you can actually learn relevant information (versus than the same exact lesson plan that merely swaps out the languages).

If you've seen information about Babbel's live classes with an instructor, this deal does notinclude those classes. Instead, you'll have to pay for a Babbel Live subscription, which run for $99 per month for group classes or $149 for private classes, with the option for you to take as many classes as you want while your subscription is active.

As for the Babbel subscription that is actually on sale, there are slightly different discounts for separate tiers, but the greatest discount is for the lifetime subscription, which at full price is $599. PCMag noted that this price drops down to $299 relatively often, but with this New Year's deal, it drops even lower to $199.

Best deal for professional development: Coursera Plus

Opens in a new window Credit: Coursera Coursera Plus annual subscription $199
$399 Save $200

Why we like it

As PCMag notes in their review, Coursera has an expansive free course list from universities all round the world. We say it's the best option for developing professional skills out of these three options, and it does offer tons of courses in business, data science, leadership and management, with some courses even granting professional certificates. That said, Coursera also offers you a wide array of classes in other subjects, including social sciences, health, math, arts and humanities, and even language.

Opting for a Coursera Plus subscription means you'll come into contact with less paywalled classes, as every course tagged "Included with Coursera Plus" is free for paid users to take. At the sale price of $199, you'll be saving $200 a year, or 50% off the total price. If you need some time to think on it, no sweat — this deal is live until Jan. 27.

Best deal for everything else: MasterClass

Opens in a new window Credit: MasterClass MasterClass Save 50% on standard, plus, and premium tier subscriptions

Why we like it

If you're looking for a wide expanse of classes and want to be taught by a celebrity, MasterClass is the service for you. They offer courses in categories like art and design, community and government, music, writing, sports and athletics, and science and technology. In other words, you have options.

And as we mentioned, those options are taught by people who are often very visibly at the top of their field — Simone Biles teaches gymnastics fundamentals, Martin Scorsese teaches filmmaking, and R.L. Stine teaches writing for young audiences, to name a select few. When reviewing the service for PCMag, contributor Jill Duffy found that the content, quality, and production value of the classes offered was hard to beat, writing, "The question I kept asking myself was, 'Could I find this content online for free if I really wanted it?' and the answer was 'no.'"

If you've been curious to test it out, the standard, plus, and premium subscription tiers are all marked down by 50%. While each tier includes all 200+ classes available, the standard tier only allows for you to watch on one device at a time without an offline mode, but it'll cost you only $5. A little pricier at $8, the plus tier allows for two devices to be used concurrently, plus an offline viewing mode. Finally for $10 a month, the premium tier ups the ante to six devices, also with an offline viewing mode. You'll want to act quick though — according to MasterClass, this offer ends today, Dec. 27.
