    ▬ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬
    Busuu Review (Is This Language App Actually Good?). In this video, John from the TPI team covers his updated review of the Busuu language app. This is a popular app (like Duolingo, Babbel, and Pimsleur) for learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Other popular languages that Busuu is used for learning includes German, Russian, and Japanese. John talks about what has changed with Busuu and what the Busuu lessons are like. He also covers Busuu cost, and what types of practice drills there are across reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Thanks for watching this Busuu app review. Hopefully it helps you determine what Busuu is and whether Busuu is worth it! Best of luck everyone!

    busuu is the only app i know that actually teaches stuff how it should be and doesnt start off by teaching you how to say house and how to order at a restaurant, busuu teaches how to say "hello", "how are you", "i am" first

  • @JDC8792

    Busuu actually has speech recognition now in some of their lessons. I personally like it because it teaches formal and informal French. Some slang might come handy.

    Yeah I used the Busuu free version for a while but the paid version can be worth it. I use the Spanish language course. I’m sure it’s different for every language. But I enjoy it. Than you for the video :). Thumbs up

  • @boczbalazs3499
    @boczbalazs3499 Před 10 měsíci +6

    I fully agree with the value of Video in learning. It helps a lot with concentration, retention and immerson too!
    I think this deserves mention about Busuu: the have soweit major non-European languages, live Arabic or Japanese. From what I've read their content is mixed in quality and limited in quantity beyond beginner Level, but at that price range it might still be usefull in starting off.

    • @TestPrepInsight
      @TestPrepInsight  Před 10 měsíci

      The price point definitely makes Busuu appealing. It's not my favorite app, but good value

    Thanks for the helpful reviews! Going to try Busuu for Turkish. Hopefully it's a good course :). It's on Cyber Monday sale of $3.48/mo for 12 mos.
    Check that: when I clicked to purchase, the 75% offer of $3.48/mo for 12 mos changed to a 50% offer of $6.95/mo for 12 mos, so I didn't buy. Boo.
    Appreciate the review vids, tho! You convinced me to buy the Pimsleaur Lifetime Turkish 1 course on CM sale. Busuu was just going to be an addon. Cheers!

      Did you TEST at a B2 level?? Because that should take about 600 hours... it's about 150-200 hours per level. Go take a test and pass B2. Don't rely on busuu telling you that you are at B2.. you likely are not.

    ¡Listen up! It's time to face the facts: relying solely on an app to learn a language is not going to cut it. You need to understand that an app is just one tool in your language-learning arsenal. To truly improve your skills, you must incorporate a variety of resources and approaches into your learning path. So, let's get serious about language learning and start using all the tools at our disposal!

    Strongest point of Busuu is content of the lesson system. It's quite detailed and engaging.
    The most disappointing feature of Busuu is the Review section. I think it's called the Award winning "Smart Review".
    I don't know if my premium app has any problem, but my situation is:
    I've completed several lessons in the app (finished 5 chapters with about 24 lessons) but the Review section only shows 16 words learnt, which are some very basic words from some beginning lessons. And it keeps show me that 16 words. I don't see any other words from latter lessons which I really want to learn!
    Anyone have any ideas about that, please!
    Another suggestion is adding real Speech Recognition feature to the most part of the lessons, not just 1 or 2 here and there.

    Busuu shouldn't aim to be like Duolingo. The latter has a bad reputation for being a useless language learning tool. Instead, Busuu should aim to be a unique one on its own. Yeah, I know this video is a year old already. I hope Busuu is much better now and a mile away from Duolingo.
