    Our Story

    The Busuu for Business story

    Busuu helps teams do their best work in another language.

    Every day, somewhere in your organisation, someone has a good idea they can’t quite get across. Busuu for Business changes that.

    We bring language learning together with workplace skills, like presenting ideas, giving feedback, and cross-team collaboration, so teams build both at the same time. Human and AI practice is tailored to each learner’s goal and supported by Live Lessons with qualified teachers.

    Busuu was co-founded in 2008 by Bernhard Niesner and Adrian Hilti, driven by their passion for languages and frustration with traditional language-learning methods. Their idea was simple. People learn a language best with other people. That became the Busuu Community, which is still a place for learners to get feedback and tips from fluent speakers. In January 2022, the US-based online learning company Chegg (NYSE: CHGG) acquired Busuu.

    Busuu for Business is the chosen language partner for over 600 global businesses and educational establishments that trust our integrated, proven method to build the capabilities their teams need to perform.
