We at busuu are obsessed with the efficiency of our product and we recently conducted a university study together with a research team from City University of New York & the University of South Carolina to measure the learning outcomes of our product.
The independent research team followed a group of 144 busuu students who studied Spanish using only our platform over a period of 2 months. The participants had full access to our Premium Membership, including voice recordings, grammar units, pdfs, vocab trainer etc. The students had to take a standardized written and oral entry test at the beginning of the study as well as an exit test so the researchers could measure the average learning improvements over the 2 months.
The results have been amazing as busuu came out as the most efficient language learning tool ever studied so far!
The research team, led by Roumen Vesselinov, PhD, from City University New York who has conducted similar studies with other apps mentioned: “Among all the language learning apps studied so far, the efficacy of busuu is the best.”
We are very encouraged by these results as they prove that our students are able to substantially improve their language skills by studying with busuu.
We’re constantly releasing updates to our course, and we’ve got some great product improvements just around the corner, all of which are pushing the efficiency of the platform even higher – so stay tuned! 🙂
