More about Busuu
Busuu has all the components of a learning game app: tasks, rewards, levels-lessons, and even an entire community. Here you can:
- learn English (or another chosen foreign language) with full lessons (vocabulary, grammar, listening, spelling);
- submit completed tasks for review by native speakers and see their scores and comments (if contact with a live person is embarrassing, you can limit yourself to automatic reviews after each lesson);
- set your own learning goals (final and intermediate) and receive rewards for achieving them;
- track their progress;
- join the community with other Busuu students, follow the progress of other users, compete with your friends;
- check someone else's work, rate and comment on it (only those works that users send for check to the community);
- take tests or test your knowledge with interactive language games;
- communicate with native speakers on any topic, make new friends in different countries.
The main advantage of Busuu over other similar learning applications is a powerful community where you can not only compete with other participants, but also communicate. This not only allows you to gradually learn a language, but also to put what you've learned into practice by communicating with other students and native speakers. Thanks to this you can overcome the language barrier and stop being embarrassed to speak another language - a frequent problem of those who study on their own.
