Definition of mobile learning by Vangie Beal mobile learning is teaching via the Internet or network using personal mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones to access learning materials through mobile apps, social interactions and online learning centers. Mobile learning enables educational institutions to deliver knowledge and educational content to students on any platform, wherever and whenever it is needed. The term mobile learning is most often used to describe the technology - the mobile devices and apps used in the classroom, but it can also be used to describe the support for always learning with mobile technology.

Busuu offers studied material covering different day-to-day topics and it has given learners various activities to understand the material, such as multiple choice questions, drag-and-drop (building a sentence from a jumble of words, matching and word order ), and fill in the blanks. The content, materials and features encourage the learners to experience foreign language learning and boost their confidence.
