How Busuu reinforces language learning through Live Lessons

In the quest for language proficiency, particularly in a professional context, the role of interactive and immersive learning experiences cannot be overstated. Busuu's Live Lessons stand out as a powerful service in this regard, offering a dynamic approach to language learning that accelerates spoken fluency and builds confidence. 

This blog examines how incorporating Live Lessons into your staff’s language learning program can lead to faster attainment of higher proficiency levels, ultimately benefiting your business in the global marketplace.

Accelerating spoken fluency

Busuu’s Live Lessons are designed to enhance spoken fluency, a critical skill in real-life professional and social interactions. By participating in these live, interactive sessions, learners can practice speaking in real time, receiving immediate feedback and guidance from professional language teachers. This real-time practice is crucial for developing the spontaneity and reflexes needed for fluent conversation. 

Building confidence for real-life conversations

Confidence in language learning is just as important as grammatical accuracy and vocabulary breadth. Live Lessons provide a safe and supportive environment where learners can practice speaking without the fear of judgment. This aspect of the learning experience is vital for encouraging learners to participate in real-life conversations, whether it’s with international clients, colleagues, or during business travels.

If you’re someone who works better in a group, learning from others’ ideas and experience and the questions they ask then Live Group Lessons may be ideal for you. However, if you feel less confident sharing ideas within a group or you feel you’d work better having a teacher’s full attention, then the Private Lessons may be a better fit for your learning style.

Upskill teams to interact with different cultures

Language learning is not just about words and grammar; it's also about understanding and engaging with new cultures. Busuu's Live Lessons offer cultural immersion, allowing learners to gain insights into the cultural nuances and etiquettes associated with the language. Content within the lessons can also be tailored to suit your business needs, meaning that you can focus on what really impacts your own company. Cultural exposure is essential for professionals who interact in a multicultural business environment.

Achieving more at work

Language proficiency can open doors to new opportunities and collaborations in the workplace. Employees who can communicate effectively in multiple languages are valuable assets in any international business setting. They can negotiate, network, and collaborate more effectively across cultural boundaries. By achieving higher levels of language proficiency through Live Lessons, employees can contribute more significantly to the business's global success. This can be done in many different ways, such as reviewing presentations and speeches with the teacher and working on documents together to ensure a thorough understanding of the language. 

Faster attainment of higher proficiency levels

The interactive and immersive nature of Live Lessons makes them highly effective for language learning. The methodology employed by Busuu, which combines self-paced learning with live interactive practice, ensures that learners are continuously applying what they have learned. 

"I find it very fun and interactive. That's why I like learning with Busuu. One of my favourite parts is interaction with other learners from all over the world. Whenever I can correct their exercises and they can also help me with the way I'm writing and speaking. So my favourite part of Busuu for me is the fun and interaction.” - Polina Ivanova, Manager of People Development & Organizational Learning, PUMA.
