We believe amazing things happen when people learn together, and our network of 120 million registered users in 160 countries make us the world’s largest online community of language learners.
The award-winning Busuu platform is available on iOS, Android and web and is used by both individual language learners and business clients. We work with over 500 companies and institutions of all sizes, around the world including Puma, OECD, and Inditex.

When did Busuu launch?
Busuu was co-founded in 2008 by Adrian Hilti and Bernhard Niesner. Both share a passion for languages, but became frustrated by traditional language learning methods. The Busuu platform has won multiple awards, including “Best App” from Apple and Google, Bloomberg Business Innovators, Language Learning App of the Year 2020 (EdTech Breakthrough awards 2020) and the 2020 EdTechXGlobal Impact Award. In January 2022, Busuu was acquired by Chegg for €385million.
