Learn one of the 11 languages available inside this app using games and fun exercises
It's quite difficult to learn a new language especially if you do it alone, without attending a course. But there are applications that help you learn the basics in a fun and entertaining way, using all sort of games and fun exercises.

One of such applications is Busuu. It gives you access to exercises for learning 11 languages, all packed in a really neat interface that makes it easy to navigate and use the app.

Sleek interface with much to offer

The app launches with a menu and asks users to pick which language they'd like to learn, you can choose from English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish.

You can learn multiple languages at the same time, so you don't have to be stuck with just one. Once you've picked one, you can register with an acount, either using your Facebook or Google profile, or an email address.

Learn languages

Once you've picked languages, the app needs you to pick a course level from beginner, intermediate and advanced. It displays the number of lessons in one level and tells you a little bit about them, you can access the first lessons in each level but you'll need to unlock the rest as you progress inside the app.

It shows you what skills you'll gain after completing each level, including vocabulary, language and understanding. There's also a quiz at the end of each lesson. It's best to have your headsets ready, as the app does have some audio features and uses some animation to keep you entertained as well as focused. Each time you complete a quiz, you get berries or points that would help you assess your progress. Share your berries with friends on social networks.

Upgrade to premium

Some quizzes and features inside the app are locked, which means that you can only gain access to them if you upgrade to the premium version. You'll also get 333 extra units of learning content, additional travel courses and review units that test your progress and frame your vocabulary in real-life situations.

Upgrade for 7.89$ per month or 42.99$ per year. It does seem a bit pricey but considering that you get access to full courses for 11 languages, it might just be worth it. The app actually proves to be useful for learning the basics of any language, but it should be used as an auxiliary to actual courses and not an alternative.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The interface is really nice and it has lots of animation and audio features to help you learn faster.

Function9
 

It works like a charm, with plenty of basic exercises but it's not going to get you too far if you're only using the app to learn a language.

Security8
 

It needs some permissions from your phone as well as online registration, but it shouldn't pose any privacy issues.

Battery4
 

Consumption is really high so you better keep your phone plugged in when using this app.

Price8
 

No ads but quizzes are locked inside the app and you can only access them if you upgrade.

Compatibility8
 

It should work on devices running Android version 2.3 or later, making it accessible to many users.

Editor's Review
