Knocks Duolingo out of the park! I had almost a year streak on Duolingo, tried Busuu for 2 days, quit Duo and bought premium for this! I love that Busuu gives you in-depth tips on culture as well as context for when different words should be used and the various meanings for it. I'm using it for Japanese and I've progressed a ton. The only reasons I'm not giving 5 stars is #1 You're expected to redo lessons if you don't know it yet, and #2 you can't do it without audio which is inconvenient.

UPDATE: Serves ads but course content no longer loads! Useless! Better than Duo, but over a mere week they've become so aggressive about advertising Premium at every opportunity I am no longer considering purchasing a subscription, especially considering they can't be bothered to create speech segments that actually work. It doesn't matter how simple the word or sentence, how fast or slow I speak, whether there's background noise, it just fails me every time. Also takes forever to load.

Hello Kilgore, Thank you for the detailed feedback about ads and other issues. Please try reinstalling the app or updating the app to its latest version as the problem with speech recognition was solved. Best regards. Busuu team,

I absolutely love this app! It's honestly very great for learning a language, and teaches you a lot of stuff! It's better than Duolingo, in my opinion, because it actually teaches you useful things and not in a game form. It is an amazing app, and I use it every day to learn Japanese! The fact that they actually have people that you can talk to and correct your mistakes with on this app is amazing aswell! It's a 10/10 for me,and I highly recommend this app if you want to learn a language better!
