Try Busuu

I want to learn...

Whether you’re a seasoned learner or a complete newbie, picking up a new language is something you can achieve. Here are 5 reasons why Busuu is the fastest way to start learning a language this year.

We know how daunting it might feel to learn a new language. Perhaps you’ve had a bad experience in the past, or maybe you’ve never taken the leap before and the idea of grammar and vocabulary feels completely alien. Whatever your language level, put your old language woes aside, and let Busuu take you on a brand new learning journey.

To find out how much progress language learners make with Busuu, we commissioned a research team from City University of New York and the University of South Carolina to conduct an independent study of Busuu and other language-learning apps.

The research team, led by Roumen Vesselinov, PhD, from City University New York concluded: “Among all the language learning apps studied so far, the efficacy of Busuu is the best.”

Most importantly, the study revealed that Busuu learners only need to study an average of 22 hours over two months to cover the requirements for one college semester of Spanish.

Wondering why Busuu came out on top? Here are 5 reasons why Busuu is the best app to help you achieve your language learning goal.
