Hi everybody! Today I’m going to talk about a webpage to learn languages, which is called “busuu.com”. First at all, I knew this page in English class as a recommendation of my teacher and, a few days later, I check that page and I really liked.
Bussu.com works as a social network that joins a lot of people from many countries and different languages. The idea that this page follow is that is possible to learn a language whit the support of the other users of the page, who works as teachers of their own languages (Native or advanced languages).
The languages that this page offers to learn are English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Russian; and all of them in three levels: Advanced, intermediate and elemental.
The mechanism of the page is the next: You have to choose the languages that you dominate and the languages that you want to learn (associated to a determinate level), after that you are ready to use the options of the page, which include several of units with different topics. This unit consists in the analysis of vocabulary, the understanding of a dialogue (listening and reading it), the write of a text about the topic (which is evaluated by other users), a chat with other users that are connected and, finally, a small test about the lesson. All this is included on the free version of “busuu”, but there is also a premium version that adds a podcast, print material and voice recordings.
By the other hand, you can work as a teacher commenting and evaluating the exercises of the other users and win some points (busuu-berries), that represents your development in the page.
I think that’s all I have to say about “bussu.com”. Thank you everybody, see you next week.
