Busuu

Busuu is a language-learning platform and mobile app that provides courses to help people learn new languages. It combines structured lessons with a community-driven approach in which native speakers review and correct learner submissions. Content is designed to fit CEFR levels and covers a range of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Dutch, Greek, and Korean, among others. The platform emphasizes a mix of reading, writing, listening, and speaking practice, with activities such as dialogues, pronunciation exercises, vocabulary drills, and grammar tips. A key feature is the ability for members of the Busuu community to provide feedback on writing and speaking tasks, supplementary to automated exercises. In addition to free access, Busuu offers a Premium subscription that unlocks additional lessons, offline access, personalized study plans, and more practice material.

Busuu began as a web-based service in 2008 and later expanded to mobile apps for iOS and Android, enabling learning on the go. The service uses bite-sized lessons, spaced repetition, and interactive tasks to build language skills. It is used by individuals and by organizations through Busuu for Schools and Busuu for Business, which provide classroom and corporate language training options. Reception has highlighted its user-friendly interface and social-learning features, while some reviews compare its depth and variety with other language platforms. Overall, Busuu remains a popular option in the language-learning app ecosystem, particularly for learners who value community feedback and CEFR-aligned content.
