View company profile

Busuu is a global language learning platform available on the web, iOS, and Android, designed to enable users to effectively learn new languages by interacting with native speakers. Founded in 2008 by Bernhard Niesner and Adrian Hilti, the company originated from their shared passion for languages and a frustration with conventional, often expensive and time-consuming, learning methods. The platform is named after the endangered Busuu language of Cameroon, reflecting the company's mission to empower people through languages. In January 2022, Busuu was acquired by Chegg, a leading student-first connected learning platform, a move intended to accelerate its growth and expand its reach within the digital education market. Busuu's methodology integrates self-paced, AI-powered courses with a vibrant online community of over 120 million registered users. This unique blend allows learners to practice their skills with native speakers, receiving feedback on pronunciation and writing exercises, which personalizes the learning experience and fosters a deeper understanding of cultural nuances.

The platform's curriculum is structured around the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), covering levels from A1 (beginner) to C1 (advanced) across 14 languages. Lessons are designed by linguistic experts to be practical and focus on real-life conversational scenarios, incorporating vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation exercises. Beyond individual learners, Busuu offers 'Busuu for Business,' a corporate language training solution trusted by over 600 global organizations, including Puma and L'Oréal. This service helps companies enhance employee communication skills, support inclusivity, and drive productivity in an increasingly globalized workplace. The platform provides businesses with tools to track learner progress and measure the return on their investment in language training. Busuu has received numerous accolades for its innovative approach, including being named 'Language Learning App of the Year' at the EdTech Breakthrough Awards, underscoring its position as a leader in the educational technology sector.
