About busuu

busuu's vision is to empower everyone in the world to learn a new language. We do this through highly engaging, interactive courses in 12 languages on web and mobile. busuu's magic ingredient is its global community of native speakers, who correct each other's exercises while developing their conversational skills. At busuu, every learner is not only a student but also a tutor of their native language.

busuu is committed to revolutionising the language learning process with the use of technology. busuu boasts more than 70m users from over 190 countries and has received several awards such as “Best Education Startup in Europe” and was named as “Best Google Play App 2015.”

The company is named after the language of Busuu in Cameroon, spoken by only eight people.
