busuu launches new Italian Course on Friday, Portugese soon

In yesterday’s Edukwest interview with Bernhard Niesner of busuu.com he announced for the first time that they’re going to launch the new busuu Italian language course on the website in addition to their existing English, Spanish, French and German courses this Friday.

Moreover, they’re experimenting with crowdsourcing  to launch a Portuguese course soon. So far, more than 50 Brazilian Portuguese signed up to function as crowdsourcing translators.

Following this link you’ll be directed to the full interview with Bernhard on EDUKWEST.
