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.

Better than duo lingo

Overall I love the app, previously I was using duo lingo but after using this app I quit it and start to use this daily. You can start a streak which is motivating to do the daily lessons. I love the examples and how rules are being explained.

Pros:

The best thing I liked about the app is you can set from which level you start to learn e.g I know basic of language so it will not start my journey from start. Also I really like the examples for lessons to learn, they are really practical and for daily use unlike duo lingo.

Cons:

Sometimes when I make a mistake it does not repeat the same sentence or same phrase to learn it again.

Reasons for switching to Busuu

One of my friends recommend me this app and after using it I loved it the overall experience and the material used is really good.

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.

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.

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

Excellent program with a few shortcomings

Busuu allows me to quickly go through the guided lessons and follow my progress. The community is also great for helping others progress (when you help, you learn too.) The program also focuses on blended learning and makes learning fun and engaging.

Functionality

Pros:

Its comprehensive learning path, engaging lessons, track report, and goal setting feature. The placement test to know where you should start.

Cons:

Three main issues: 1. Sometimes, questions in a lesson do not help with understanding. For example, you have to choose between WILL and IS GOING TO, but Busuu corrects the syntax instead. 2. Non-native speakers. I understand that English does not belong to one variety of English; however, for learning purposes, only native speakers of English should be used in the program. 3. Corrections (community). Poor correction skills can lead learners to make mistakes. Corrections should be reviewed.

Reasons for choosing Busuu

Because of user reviews, and the price.

Pros:

The fact that the courses are carefully selected and act according to a certain level encourages you to be more disciplined and more educational.

Sometimes the excitement of the lesson is gone. And it needs to be more stimulating. Unlike other language courses, it may cost a little
