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

It took a couple of weeks but I finally get premium content--update

I was charged twice for busuu premium content by accident. I stopped payment on one of the charges and after that, could no longer access premium content. The support staff was polite and they did return my help message but 2 weeks had passed since I purchased premium content and it still was not available to me. After I wrote a review on trustpilot about the incident, the support staff quickly contacted me and resolved the issue. I can now access premium content.

Japanese lessons need some work.

Sometimes the romaji doesn't match the Japanese characters. Answer choices are sometimes too obvious (like having 2 multiple choice options being one word, and a 3rd option being a whole sentence as answers for a sentence translation; or another time 2 multiple choice options were exactly the same, so the answer was obviously the third). I've seen names reversed in the English translation. These things were all in the first level, so it seems like these issues might be pretty frequent. It's ...

making progress

I've only been using Busuu for a week or so to learn Japanese, and I feel I'm progressing quite well. I do find I have to use a couple of other programmes alongside it, in order to learn the alphabet and symbols as there doesn't seem to be any instruction for those within Busuu. I would also like a little more introduction to sentence structure as although I'm learning words and sentences, I'm not sure i could put a sentence together correctly myself. I would recommend the programme as part ...

I don't know exactly how long this site has been around, but here would be a few of my critiques/suggestions: - For languages that use symbolic characters ...
