"Busuu.com" by Kelley

           Have you ever wanted to learn another language but never had enough time or not known where classes are offered. Well, there is a website that will teach you how to speak almost any language for free! It is called Busuu.com. Busuu.com allows you to select the language that you already speak and a level that suits you; either native or advanced. Then you have to choose which language you would like to speak. You can learn just about any language you want. There are also a few different learning levels to choose from; beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
            The way that Busuu.com teaches the languages is very unique. First, it shows you the order of the lessons that you will be learning. It starts off with how to welcome someone and how to say your name and your age. Then it starts to teach you how to say where you are from, describe people and things, and personal pronouns. Then it goes on to teach you how to say which language you speak and ask if someone speaks a certain language. The first way that Busuu.com shows you the vocabulary is with a picture and the definition. Then when the exam comes, it shows you the pictures and you have to choose the one with the right definition. Then you have to match the sentences with the correct translations. The last part of the test is a typing section. It says the words, and then you must type them with the correct spellings. It makes it easier to learn the language, and the best part is that you can learn it at your own pace.
