The app is great and feels more challenging and serious than "some other similar apps". However, there are issues with some exercises (at least in Dutch lessons). Sometimes there is no good option for you to give in the multiple-choice question, sometimes the sound would play an entire sentence, while you are only given one word to give.. Hopefully this will be resolved.

I'm already not thrilled that 1. I was offered to take a Russian placement test. when I chose to do so, the app told me I had bad internet connection. no I didn't. I had to go to the website to find that there *is* no Russian placement test. fix that 2. there's no option to learn Russian only in Cyrillic. I'm at the point of learning where Russian words written in the Latin alphabet look weird / wrong to me. there should be the option to turn off Latin. still better than duolingo

Knocks Duolingo out of the park! I had almost a year streak on Duolingo, tried Busuu for 2 days, quit Duo and bought premium for this! I love that Busuu gives you in-depth tips on culture as well as context for when different words should be used and the various meanings for it. I'm using it for Japanese and I've progressed a ton. The only reasons I'm not giving 5 stars is #1 You're expected to redo lessons if you don't know it yet, and #2 you can't do it without audio which is inconvenient.
