Busuu offers courses with the opportunity to have exercises corrected by native speakers, which is a significant benefit for learners seeking personalized feedback. The platform includes a range of interactive exercises, covering speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and incorporates video clips of native speakers to enhance learning. Busuu also provides useful cultural tips and allows users to set personalized study plans and reminders, making it a flexible and engaging learning tool  . However, despite these strengths, Busuu lacks real-time speaking practice, and the quality of courses can vary depending on the language, with some courses having poor audio quality and fewer interactive features.

This method ensures that learning is relevant and practical, tailored to the user’s interests and needs.
