Busuu Reviews in October 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Reminders

I would like to be reminded to carry on studying like Babel does. From time to time, they send us reminders to keep studying which helps us to mantain focused. Just a sugestion not a critic. Thanks.

bitter sweat experience

I like so many of the concepts, like how the grammar is explained, writing exercise. What I really don't like is some of vocabulary exercises are very stupid. For instance, one exercise pronounces the word then asks to pull the word onto the right picture where both the picture and pronounced word has the that word written under their label. So practically I can ask a 5 year old who doesn't know the language pass does exercises.

You were great help. Many thanks .

I had some problems with my subscription to busuu. The team gave me great help because I didn't know what to do ! Sincerely yours, Madeleine.

Some great features but interplay between platforms is clunky

I really love the feature of being able to connect with other language learners and weigh in on each other's translation. Gives Busuu a personal touch I haven't found with any other software. I use Busuu on both my computer and my iPad and find that the interplay between the platforms isn't always seamless. One doesn't reflect the current unit I'm on, the iPad one doesn't let me do voice recordings, and frequently the iPad one crashes in the middle of a lesson before I'm finished. (I've ...

They helped.

Busuu did very well last time I contacted them. So I would give them 5 stars this time. Thanks!

So Far So Good

As a person who use to study Spanish at school and had forgotten most of the language, I have found the Busuu website very useful. The mixture of vocabulary, written and speaking exercises have helped me brush up on my basic Spanish. I like that each lesson is split into sections that I can work through and repeat if it hasn't sunk in or I haven't scored well. I also like that I can get native speakers to correct my exercises. The only downside is having to verify/compare the corrections ...

Excellent, simple and effective.

I am a chef and just taken on a job at a japanese restaraunt, i have been using a brilliant language site in the past but the choices of languages are limited, however busuu offers a huge selection with an equally user friendly interface. I plan to upgrade to their premium account as the benefits vs. Cost is a no brainer. Customer service is excellent and any queries are awnsered promptly.

Teacher of Busuu.

I like to learn English in Busuu because very easy to understand and covers many fields and can meet lots of friends. But I often wonder when I send my exercises because I didn't see the teacher to feedback of my exercises.
