University study proves that 22 hours of Busuu Premium are equivalent to a college semester

In 2016, we conducted a university study with a research team from City University of New York & the University of South Carolina to measure the learning outcomes of our product.

The independent research team followed a group of 144 Busuu students who studied Spanish using only our platform over a period of 2 months. The participants had full access to our Premium membership, including voice recordings, grammar units, pdfs, Vocabulary Trainer etc. The students had to take a standardised written and oral entry test at the beginning of the study as well as an exit test so the researchers could measure the average learning improvements over the 2 months.

The results have been amazing as Busuu came out as the most efficient language learning tool ever studied so far!

• 84% of participants who sat the written test improved their result.
• 75% of participants who sat the oral test improved their result by one level or more.
• Of those who studied for 16 hours or more on Busuu, 100% made a significant improvement to either their written test result, oral test result or both.
• Busuu users only need to study an average of 22 hours over 2 months to cover the requirements for one college semester of Spanish.
• 100% of those who answered the exit survey said that they would continue to use Busuu after the study ended.
