About Speak

Speak is built around speaking from the first lesson. You repeat and adapt phrases in guided lessons, then hold open-ended conversations with an AI tutor that responds by voice and gives feedback on pronunciation, grammar and word choice. The company started with English learners in South Korea and now offers a short list of languages, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Chinese. Because practice is private, it suits people too shy to speak with strangers or tutors. The trade-offs are a narrow language list, a heavy reliance on AI feedback that can miss subtleties, and no free tier beyond a trial, after which a subscription is required. It runs on iOS and Android, with sign-up on the web. Speak suits learners who already know some basics and want lots of low-pressure speaking practice.

Best for: Learners who want frequent, private speaking practice with an AI tutor.
