A really adult way of learning compared with Duolingo. Sensible phrases and lots of feedback on pronunciation. Enjoyable. But there seems to be no way to flag up problems. For example when using phone... See more

I didn't think this app was very helpful and my progression was faster on Duolingo. I do not recommend this APP if you want to speak fluently. Also, I went and canceled it before my free trial ended and hit the subscription button and it didn't work, so I emailed mailed them immediately before my subscription expired. They have not responded and they just keep sending me a form letter responses. I've sent them four emails. No human being available. They also charged my card anyways and I am trying to a refund for $87.
You can learn at your own pace and review lessons until you have them down cold.

Well-ordered lessons, relevant topics, real-life situations: quite challenging at times, yet necessary to learn a foreign language properly.

I didn't like the teaching method. The explanations are not sufficient, and I don't think it is suitable for beginners who are starting from zero.

“There is no Swedish or Persian translation, which makes learning difficult.”

Busuu has really been a great app for me to learn Korean. It's really organized, paying to unlock is optional but it also allows you to save money. The 15-second ads really aren't that bad even if some were interactive playing.
That's where other apps fell short. I tried them but with all do respect to them, they didn't allow me to learn & explore like Busuu did. Some of the reasons were price to pay to unlock lessons (Busuu isn't exempt) to holding me back. I forgot which app I was using and won't mention them for privacy reasons, but it kept telling me that when I was repeating back the lesson, it kept saying I was saying it wrong. At the least, I knew or were confident that I was saying it correctly enough, but that's where it got discouraging and was a turn-off. I was wondering like, "Was it me? Was it my phone? Was it the outside noise environment? Should I/did I forget to wear/use earphones?" so on & so forth. So that app I deleted it. I explored different apps until I stumbled upon Busuu.
If wanting to learn Korean or any other language(s), Busuu is if not the way to go then it's one of the ways to go. Thank you Busuu, keep up the great work!

Todavía le falta mejorar mucho el japonés y su sistema de análisis de voz

It is impossible to cancel their subscription. You have to cancel it through the same way you got in (website in my case) but even when it confirms on the website that it is cancelled, they continue trying to charge me. After countless emails that went unanswered, I finally went through my credit card to have them blocked! Unbelievably shady practices for a mediocre app. Not worth a penny!

Subscription didn’t work, and their Support ghosted me.
Goodbye. Again.

Busuu is amazing. I wanted to complete my fluency in German and things are going well. I would recommend making a reasonable daily goal to ensure that you will make a steady streak. This is a long term process so make sure that you can keep your streak going to avoid being discouraged.

I wouldn't call Busuu the 'best' language learning app overall but, it is the best for those trying to begin to learn a foreign language. And the price for premium is very reasonable (basic is free). Busuu and Duolingo are the best ways to know if you're commited enough to learn a foreign language without paying lots of money and possibly give up within a month or two. And/or - if you want to go further with your fluency - other apps can build upon what you already learned from Busuu. No major risk, unlike most others (Rosetta Stone/Babbel, etc). Highly recommend.
-4/5-stars.

Absolutely terrible app stay clear and if you pay and there is a trial and you forget to cancel they will charge you the full price immediately and you won’t be getting your money back without a fight.
Besides it’s 2026 and their app has had no updates in years they added some ai features but you can get that for free on chat gtp steer clear of awful app and terrible company with awful customer service.

The person or board that took the decision ti implement so many agressive adds should be convicted of crimes against humanity. Seriously, I have never seen so many ads before. It's enough to make someone want to never buy the app, it's literally counter productive. Everytime I think k maybe I should pay to get the advanced functionality the ads remind me that I should not do that.

it took a little time, I suppose because they are so busy, but they responded really well to my complaint about not being upgraded while I had already paid. Julia even gave me a big discount.

Overcharged on a promotion rate. Was offered 80% off and receipt showed only 60%. Raised support ticket 1 week ago and no response.
I'm impressed with my development. The lessons are very well planned. I'm super happy with Busuu
