Confidence is key within business, particularly in today's busy global landscape, so  it’s crucial to give it the attention it requires when perfecting language learning. Busuu’s Live Lessons provide a well-rounded approach to language learning that can significantly enhance your employees' communication skills. 

This blog will highlight how the various elements of the Busuu language learning program- from its methodology to its community-based approach- can bolster your team’s language abilities and confidence.

Comprehensive learning ecosystem

Busuu’s language learning ecosystem is a blend of self-paced study and practice with fluent speakers. The benefits of this are two-fold. Firstly, it is easier for learners to fit study in and around other aspects of their lives. Secondly, this combination of methods ensures that learners not only grasp the theoretical aspects of a language but also get ample opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world situations. 

Real-world application and community engagement

Busuu’s approach to language learning focuses on real-world uses. The platform encourages learners to engage in conversations with peers and native speakers in its online community. The platform's vast community of over 120 million registered users offers a rich resource for practice and feedback. This community plays a huge part in our platform's success in tackling the four main language learning challenges: confidence, opportunity, engagement and motivation.

Structured lesson plans

The structured lesson plans are tailored to meet individual learner needs, ensuring that each employee can work at their own pace and focus on areas where they need the most improvement. Whether it’s grammar, vocabulary, or conversational skills, the customisation aspect of Busuu Live Lessons ensures that every learner's journey is unique and targeted. 

Professional language teachers

Busuu’s teachers are not only adept at instructing but also at creating an engaging learning environment. Their experience and empathetic approach to teaching can significantly aid employees in overcoming language barriers and gaining confidence in their speaking abilities.

 

Alignment with language learning progression

The Busuu platform aligns Live Lessons with the progression in its self-paced courses. This ensures a seamless learning experience where live lessons build on what has been learned in the self-paced modules. Such alignment is crucial for developing speaking fluency, as it allows learners to focus on conversation skills without being overwhelmed by new grammar or vocabulary.

Private and Live Group Lessons: Understanding what’s right for you

Busuu offers two different types of lessons, Private Lessons and Live Group Lessons. You can book a Private Lesson if you feel you would benefit from 1:1 time with a teacher. These lessons allow you to go deeper into a topic, to ask any questions you feel you need to ask, and they also give you the opportunity to practise what you have learned so far in your own self-paced Busuu course.

With the Live Group Lessons, these could be ideal if you’re looking to accelerate your learning within a friendly group as they give you more space to practise spoken skills. The group lessons are also aligned with your self-paced lesson topics and are available for English, French, Spanish, German, and Dutch. 

Elevating language skills for business success

By using Busuu Live Lessons, businesses can significantly enhance their employees' language skills, fostering better communication, collaboration, and success in the global market. 

The personalised, community-based, and professionally-guided learning experience offered by Busuu is not just an educational service, it's a catalyst for confidence and competence in the international business arena.
