LingoflyBusuu and Lingofly: how they differ and which to choose
Busuu has fourteen languages, and it is exactly the list everyone has: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish, plus three more of the most widely taught languages on its home page, linked below. Of the fourteen languages checked here it carries two — Spanish and Turkish. The other twelve, from Armenian to Valencian, are not there at all. Below: the table, and what Busuu does better than we do.

How the approach differs
The languages it does not have
None of the ten rare languages on this site is in Busuu, and neither is Greek or Catalan: its fourteen are the same fourteen on every language version of its home page, and busuu.com/en/learn-catalan answers 404. Its set assumes people will learn the most widely spoken languages, and within that set it is good.
Corrected by people
Busuu’s strong side is exercises corrected by native speakers from its community. We do not do that and do not promise it: here pronunciation is scored by a program, and written work is not checked by anyone.
Writing and audio
Where a language has its own alphabet, everything starts there. Here the alphabet is a section of its own, with audio on every sign and a tracing drill; Busuu’s set has almost no languages written in their own script at all.
Where Busuu is stronger
In Spanish, German, French and Turkish, Busuu does something we do not do at all: live correction of written work by native speakers, and CEFR levels with a certificate at the end. If you need one of its fourteen languages and you want feedback from a human being, it is a strong choice.
Already learning on Busuu? By language
For each language: what level that is on the CEFR, which exam level it matches and which unit you would continue from here.
Which to choose
One of Busuu’s fourteen languages, with feedback from people — take Busuu. Any of our rare ten — it is not there, and there is nothing to compare.
