Abstract

With a high-quality, user-friendly interface that is both easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing, Busuu delivers, but the reason to choose Busuu over others would be to purchase the premium version for the social networking aspects. Even as a native speaker of English, I was able to learn about dialectal differences. Interactions with native speakers of the target language is both interesting and motivating. This is one of the better apps on the market, but at $9.99 when paid per month, it might be a bit expensive for the casual language learner.

Busuu:一个学习语言的社交网络应用程序
Busuu提供了一个高质量、用户友好的界面,既易于导航,又美观,但选择Busuu的原因是购买高级版本的社交网络方面。即使我的母语是英语,我也能够了解方言差异。与目标语言的母语人士互动既有趣又有动力。这是市场上最好的应用程序之一,但每月支付9.99美元,对于临时语言学习者来说可能有点贵。
