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).... See more

I think their should be the lessons of. two people conversation on specific topics and we only listen the conversation and also try to understand and will learn from it.
I think their should be the lessons of hearing as well. In which learner listen the conversation of two people. So it'll be good for us .

THE Best at leaning strategy
I liked the strategy .. it is practical, based on everyday need, from basics to more complex conversations, words to learn are well stepped into the process and I also like it as it well humanized.

I had a great experience with Busuu customer support, especially thanks to Julia. She helped me activate my Premium account and was extremely helpful, kind, and patient throughout the process. She made everything easy and straightforward.
Thank you, Julia, for your excellent assistance! It’s great to receive such friendly and professional support. Highly recommended!

I subscribed for premium
I subscribed for premium. Still there was no difference between the free mode and premium version, the same lesson I'm still seeing the same thing. I was trying to simplify it by going premium but it's just same thing. I feel like I've been scammed.

Sign Up for Premium! It's Worth It! 💯
I had been looking at going Premium with Busuu for a long time. I know
I enjoy learning foreign languages, so I waited until it was 75% off! I signed up and now I'm paid up for a year!
It helps me get thru my 12 hour security shifts and I know it will help me a lot at my next job!
Thanks Busuu! 🥳

From ok to insufficient
The A1 level it's good, but when you pass to the next levels, there are just a few short lessons way harder and they don't explain much, just a lot of vocabulary with not a lot of explanation or activities.
The community is a good part of the app.
