Company Description:

busuu.com is Europe's largest online community for learning languages with
more than 2.5 million users around the world. Users have access to audio-visual online courses for learning Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, English, Polish & Turkish.

Language skills can also be directly improved through other native speakers in the community via an integrated video-chat app and peer-to-peer text & voice-recording corrections. Consequently, each user is not only a 'student' of a foreign language, but a 'tutor' of their own mother tongue.

The start-up was founded in Madrid in early 2008. It was a UNESCO partner project during the International Year of Languages in 2008 and has received several prestigious awards, including a Silver Lion at the International Marketing Festival in Cannes, the European Language Label of the European Commission and the Innovation Award of CeBIT.

Product and Service Description:

Online language study for 9 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, Italian, French, Polish, Russian, Turkish).
