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 have only been with Busuu for just…
I have only been with Busuu for just over a week. In that time, I have found that learning French can be broken down in small stages, explained and understood.
So far, so good. I have a long way to go in my task. However, I am looking forward to the rest of the work.

It's a good app
It's a good app, and I haven't seen much improvement in my experience with it yet, but I think that with continued use, my performance might improve further. However, I can say that it's an excellent app for beginners.

Thank you for your review and for your optimism! Progress with language learning often builds quietly at first, so sticking with it is exactly the right approach.
We hope you'll start to see the difference soon. Keep going!

Everything is good, especially the lesson system, which is considered the best.
Very thing is good especially The exercises are tough, I admit, but it is better than any other app.

The best app
Star trying multiple apps and seeing that there’s no result or any improvement in my learning experience, I found “Busuu”. I can’t explain how amazing it works and how much it helps me to learn French.

Beware of this company’s shady business…
Beware of this company’s shady business practices! While the lessons they offer might be of some value, you can unknowingly get roped into a subscription, which they WILL NOT CANCEL. I signed up over two years ago for a one-month session in anticipation of a trip to Italy. . I have not used it since, but apparently somewhere there was a “do not subscribe” button that I never saw. I used their site for only one month, two years ago. Without my knowledge nor express permission, they signed me up for a subscription, and just the other day, billed me AGAIN for $62.99. I have been pleading with them to refund this money, but they are intractable. They say they are “not able” to refund it. Well, of COURSE you are able! You just choose not to. Despicable.

Double Charged!
I was double charged for my subscription. I reach out to customer service and never heard back. Do NOT recommend, be wary of sharing your credit card info!

Reply from Busuu
Hello,
We're sorry to read about your double charge.
It looks like you had an automatic payment that went through and at the same time you purchased another subscription on top of it.
We're happy to see that our Customer Satisfaction has responded to your email and provided additional information explaining that one of the payments is being refunded.
Feel free to get back to the email if you need further support.
Many thanks.
Busuu Team.

I have been using Busuu to improve my English, and I really enjoy the learning experience. The lessons are practical, well-structured, and easy to fit into my daily routine.
I especially want to mention the Busuu Support team. They were kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful when I contacted them. I really appreciate the time and attention they gave to my request.
Learning a new language while balancing work and family life is not always easy, but Busuu makes it much more manageable and motivating. I’m very happy to continue my English-learning journey with Busuu. 💙
Thank you to the Busuu team for creating such a helpful platform and for caring about your users!
