Busuu

And I'm Pippa.

Apps like Duolingo, Babbel, and Busuu all aim to help you learn a language, but do they really help? We'll be trying to answer that question in today's episode of Six Minute English.

And as usual, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary too.

I'm going to say C, Elvish.

Well, we'll find out at the end of the program.

Now, people might be familiar with the app Duolingo, and then there are other apps which say they can help you learn a language quickly, Busuu and Babbel, for example.

And listeners might be familiar with how they tend to work.

Babbel is really great because it allows you to potentially do speaking with one-on-one with tutors and things like that.

Is it Busuu? Busuu is one.

And then Lingopie is one that I've tried for Spanish too.

I like Lingopie because it connects with like movies.
