    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

    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.

    I feel like they can do a better job filling out the grammar section with the "tips" that are in the actual lessons but apart from that, Busuu is amazing. I love it.

    I really like Busuu! Im Portuguese and I already achieved B2 level . I definitely can see my improvement. Besides normal course, they have English pronunciation course, Academic and Business.
    I hope achieve C1 level .
    I recommend it to everyone and do it on your computer like a online study, take notes and pratice 👍🏼

      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.

    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

    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!

    ¡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.
