A wonderful platform to learn a new language

A well-designed platform that helped me to improve my language skills.

PROS

I love that I have the option to learn more than one language, also I like the tests and quizzes for each lesson.

CONS

It just needs a free trial with full access before purchasing any price plan.

Reasons for switching to Busuu

Busuu has more features and more valuable language courses.

A more professional way to learn

Learning languages is like learning an instrument, you have to and it comes with great benefits for mental work and productivity. Also givin the freedom to choose any offered language is very attractive.

PROS

We all love good apps and services that help you practice languages, but the thing I love the most about Busuu is the interaction with other actual native people, something that doesn't have any other app I know. The cources are complete and you can get certifications from McGraw-Hill.

CONS

I think this is the first time I have nothing to complain about a product.

Reasons for switching to Busuu

A more professional approach.

Good, not great

I like it but I think there are better and cheaper options to learn a language.

PROS

I like that there is also a community so you can talk to people that speak the language that you want to learn or your native language -to correct or help people who are learning it-.

CONS

I don’t like the platform, it can be very confusing and I don’t like the excessive use of stock photos. Also I tried to learn a language that uses a different alphabet (Russian) and the people corrected me with that alphabet when I was only starting so I didn’t understand anything.

Reasons for switching to Busuu

Because the company I work in gave me a membership.

Well structured for learning

Very well structured and perfect user interface.

PROS

My first user impression on using Bus is how well structured it is. Everything for language learning is perfectly organized and offers a lot of flexibility in how I learn Spanish. I took the placement test at the start which fitted me in the right step. I am able to schedule lessons to fit my daily routine. What I like most is the interactive material and video of local Spanish speakers

CONS

The program is relatively cheaper with a longterm subscription but a bit expensive on a month to month premium subscription. I found that I am able to do more with the basic/free Duolingo than Busuu.

Reasons for switching to Busuu

Cost. Doulingo basic is adequate and free

Busuu review

PROS

Despite having a small number of languages, busuu's content is of extremely good quality. The program is well-made and expertly executed. Busuu is one of the best free language learning applications, but the premium version offers many benefits at a reasonable price.

CONS

The classes are merely lazily translated versions of the same content.
