What is Busuu?
Busuu is a language learning app with structured courses, review tools and feedback from other learners. Learners work through a core course, track their progress and send their exercises to the community for corrections.
There are three tiers. The free tier covers the core course, community feedback and basic progress tracking. Premium adds grammar and vocabulary review, offline mode and removes ads. Premium Plus adds AI conversation practice, pronunciation feedback, mistake repair and exclusive courses.
Busuu suits self-directed learners who want a set course path and feedback on their speaking and writing. According to Busuu's help center, paid prices depend on the platform you subscribe through, any active offers and your local currency.
