Community-correction feature is a real differentiator buried three scrolls deep. The hero reads like every other language app — "learn a language online" is a category description, not a value proposition.

Highest-impact issue

Busuu's unique advantage — native speakers correcting your exercises in real time — never appears in the hero. The one thing that would make a visitor choose Busuu over five free alternatives is invisible at decision time.

What this page does well

3 strengths
Native-speaker correction community is a genuine moat when surfaced.
McGraw-Hill certification partnership adds academic credibility.
Clean, distraction-free layout loads fast on mobile.

Findings (2)

Was → problem → fix → why

Each finding cites the live copy at audit time, names the conversion problem, proposes a specific rewrite, and explains why the rewrite works against the 12-dimension framework.

Finding #01clarityCritical
Was
“(unknown current hero — generic language-app pattern)”
Problem

"Learn a language online" describes the entire category. A visitor who googled "learn Spanish" sees this exact phrase on 20 competing pages. Nothing in the first viewport explains why Busuu exists alongside Duolingo, Babbel, and Rosetta Stone.

Fix
“Learn a language and get corrected by native speakers — not just an algorithm.”
Why this works

Surfaces the one differentiator (human correction) in the hero. The contrast ("not just an algorithm") positions against every AI-only competitor in a single clause.

Finding #02trustHigh-impact
Was
“(McGraw-Hill partnership mentioned below the fold only)”
Problem

Academic certification from a recognized publisher is an enormously powerful trust signal for adult learners investing in career skills. Burying it below the fold wastes the strongest credibility asset on the page.

Fix
“Add a badge line directly under the CTA: "Courses certified by McGraw-Hill Education."”
Why this works

A recognized academic brand in the hero viewport converts browsing adults who need to justify the subscription to themselves or an employer.
