I'm already not thrilled that 1. I was offered to take a Russian placement test. when I chose to do so, the app told me I had bad internet connection. no I didn't. I had to go to the website to find that there *is* no Russian placement test. fix that 2. there's no option to learn Russian only in Cyrillic. I'm at the point of learning where Russian words written in the Latin alphabet look weird / wrong to me. there should be the option to turn off Latin. still better than duolingo

Knocks Duolingo out of the park! I had almost a year streak on Duolingo, tried Busuu for 2 days, quit Duo and bought premium for this! I love that Busuu gives you in-depth tips on culture as well as context for when different words should be used and the various meanings for it. I'm using it for Japanese and I've progressed a ton. The only reasons I'm not giving 5 stars is #1 You're expected to redo lessons if you don't know it yet, and #2 you can't do it without audio which is inconvenient.

Busuu used to be amazing few years ago when i used to study Japanese, i even paid for 2 years. now is full of adverts, i have to watch an advert to unlock a lesson. sometimes playing audio doesn't work. you must have excellent Wi-Fi connection because the lesson won't work well or lag almost as if it was a videogame. i don't know what happened but it makes me not wanna pay again.this is not a game but a learning platform, but the developers are selling this for adverts.
