Language Learning Giant Busuu Signs Pearson Deal To Disrupt TEFL Market

busuu - the world's largest social network for language learning at 40 million users - has signed a distribution partnership with Pearson English, a newly formed business unit of the world's largest education company, Pearson PLC. The deal will be exclusive for the next 4 months, after which Pearson will be free to sign similar deals with other partners, should it choose to do so. However, it gives Busuu and edge over its competitors, given that the bulk of foreign language learning is to learn English.
