Busuu

Busuu: Learn & Speak Languages is a popular online community whose main task is to provide any interested person with an interactive convenient platform for learning a foreign language. As part of this program, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Polish and Russian are available, although the developers plan to expand this list soon, bringing it to record levels.

The learning process consists of several stages – checking the initial knowledge, selecting lessons based on the test results, the opportunity to practice with native speakers and other points designed to consolidate the acquired knowledge. After launching Busuu and going through the registration or authorization process, if you already have an account in the browser version of the service, the user can issue a free or extended subscription to any course directly from the interface. Improve your reading and writing skills, learn how to correctly and correctly understand spoken speech in the chosen language, voiced by its native speaker, learn grammar rules and pronunciation features.

Most of the tasks are aimed at developing key vocabulary, which is quite enough for ordinary communication, for example, it can be useful when traveling or on business trips. The creators of this Android project claim that 22 hours of training within the service Busuu is equivalent to the knowledge that a user can get by listening to a whole semester in a higher educational institution. Testing tasks will help track progress, if they are passed successfully, then the student automatically moves to a new stage of development, that is, the complexity increases, and the goal becomes closer and closer. At the end of the entire course, the person who completed it receives a special certificate, its value in practical terms is minimal, but as a self-affirmation it will do just fine.
