Busuu: Learn & Speak Languages

Build practical language skills through short interactive lessons that combine reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, verbs, and pronunciation practice. Busuu: Learn & Speak Languages supports learners from beginner through intermediate level, with exercises aimed at building confidence in everyday communication. Its courses cover Spanish, Japanese, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Korean, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, and Dutch.

The Spanish course develops all of those core skills, while Japanese study adds hiragana, katakana, and kanji alongside listening and speaking exercises. Learners can identify topics that need more work and revisit vocabulary, verbs, pronunciation, or other lesson material for additional revision. Interactive activities connect the lessons with language as it is used in real situations, making the app useful for independent study, travel preparation, schoolwork, or regular practice.

An online learning Community lets students connect with fluent speakers and submit exercises for feedback from other members. This gives learners a way to improve their written and spoken usage beyond the structured course content. It is free to use, with a paid version offering additional features.

The current release introduces a personalized, adaptive Study Plan that uses a learner’s goals and available schedule to create manageable study steps. It can work toward an estimated completion date, helping people fit language practice around work, studies, exercise, family, and other commitments.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
