Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Teaches realistic conversation behavior
Since Busuu puts learners in direct contact with natives, the learning is done in a realistic way - not an idealistic textbook way.
Pro Fast response time
For popular languages, translations can be received very quickly from real people.
Pro Teaches by theme
Instead of teaching words by most used, they are taught by case. This way, users can prepare for specific situations.
Pro Open ended
Instead of requesting a direct translation, users can ask anything language related. While the focus is on translation, social engagement and less direct questions (such as synonyms) are encouraged.
Pro Get a translation from a photo or audio clip
Whether it's a menu, a street sign, letter, or lecturer, just take a picture and someone will personally translate it.
Cons
Con Ineffective "review" section
When a section is over, there is a multiple review session. Many of the questions are totally irrelevant and are not useful for learners.
Con Chat system doesn't support letters with accents
Busuu only accepts regular characters in the text fields, so non-native languages may be limited.
Con Not much support for uncommon languages
Because of the social nature of this app, languages with the most speakers will yield the most responses. Languages that are less widely spoken will take longer to be answered.
