Bernhard, co-Founder of Busuu, wrote to tell me about this free online community for learning languages.
Users have access to more than 150 audio-visual learning units covering a wide range of day-to-day topics. The language material is currently available in French, Spanish, English and German but further languages will be added soon. Additionally, the users can improve their language skills with other native speakers of the community, via an integrated video-chat
Launched in May 2008, Busuu currently has more than 80,000 users from all over the world.
NOTE:
I've just had a request to compile a list of language learning sites; if you know of any that should be on the list, please let me know by emailing me at jane.hart@c4lpt.co.uk.
