Online learning foreign languages with "busuu"
Training msa and additional qualifications are currently important keywords msa for HR managers. One of the additional msa qualifications is the mastery of one or more foreign languages. Especially with language skills can you stand out from other candidates and has the opportunity to work abroad or in international business as well as his choice to expand on work opportunities.
For students, there is a wide range of language courses at the University of Salzburg. There is also the opportunity msa to learn a language at the language center or refresh. However, this is usually associated with a large amount of time and can not often agree with your own schedule. From home, his language skills on your own computer refresh using appropriate online platforms and expand a viable alternative can be. Users and users with online language courses are so flexible in time and learning content can be individually divided and set the pace it yourself.
But this form of language learning is really an alternative msa to traditional language course? I have the platform http://www.busuu.com/de/ rausgepickt and tested. In "busuu" is an Internet community in which it is possible to learn twelve different languages online or deepen. These include: msa Arabic, Brazilian msa Portuguese, German, Chinese, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, msa Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
The use of (basic membership) of "busuu" is largely free. However, msa there is the opportunity to become a premium member by a monthly msa amount and so gain access msa to additional msa learning materials and learning functions.
Currently, it is possible to process 150 training units into any language. These include vocabulary msa exercises, tests, speaking and writing exercises that are also accessible for non premium owner or owners. With the help of "native msa speakers" can choose from various learning compliance and improve their language skills by means of a video chat application user and users.
A learning unit contains the most important words and phrases of a particular topic. They deal with the speaking, listening, msa reading comprehension, dialogues, msa tests and vocabulary. I think the lessons msa are thematically very well organized and they are always supported with audio and images. At the end of each lesson you will be tested using a test what you have learned.
The most interesting and funniest for me the tool platform is the opportunity to work with native speakers and native speakers to come online in contact and to talk via voice or video chat or just as text chat either. However, I must confess that at first I had to muster a lot of courage to talk to complete strangers about any subject. First, I have confined myself only to the text chat, but until I could bring myself to a voice chat. Worldwide, the online community has already more than 20 million users and users, which makes it possible to interact with others and thus to improve his language skills significantly.
A full access to all functions of the platforms is obtained but unfortunately only as a paid premium member. The first seven days of enrollment, you can test these Premium Membership for free and get following benefits: Premium members can attend the same at the beginning of a placement test, following which the language level with the levels A1, A2, B1, B2 sets. This is based on the European Framework of Reference. In addition to the free exercises get Premium members a comprehensive learning materials for learning the grammar, can listen to podcasts or print out the learning material. In addition to the chat feature is the possibility to record your own pronunciation msa by a microphone and then send them for checking a native speaker. In my test, I get a very long and detailed audio commentary by a native speaker, and I was not able to understand everything. When you have successfully completed a course, you get an official "busuu" - certificate indicating the level of learning. Unfortunately, I could only reach the level A1 in French within my short time premium.
As I said, who "busuu" just want to test me, can sign up for the basic version for free. The paid Premium Membership, however, is 14.99 for one month. If you want long-term access to all the benefits of premium membership, you can save by from the beginning a higher maturity DISABLED
