Busuu review

Busuu sits between a free app and a full course. Its lessons are organized by level from A1 to C1, with Busuu listing more than 2,500 hours of learning, so you can see where you are and what comes next. The feature that sets it apart is people: you can submit exercises and get feedback from fluent speakers in the Busuu Community, which is useful for writing and speaking where an app alone cannot judge nuance. You can learn for free to try the method. Premium adds grammar and vocabulary review, speaking assessments, Busuu certificates and removes ads, and Premium Plus adds AI conversations, pronunciation practice, exclusive content and communication skills courses. Busuu notes that some of these tools are only available in select languages and on select platforms, so check your language first. We could not confirm US dollar prices from our location. For learners moving from beginner to intermediate, it is one of the most balanced options here.
