What is Speak?

Speak is a language learning app built around talking rather than tapping. Lessons put you into short spoken exchanges with an AI tutor that listens, replies and gives feedback on what you said, and the app then drills the phrases and patterns you got wrong. Courses cover several languages, with English as the deepest track, and lessons move from guided repetition toward open conversation on a topic. Speech recognition is tuned for learner accents, so mispronunciations are corrected rather than ignored. It suits people who can read a language but freeze when speaking it, and is weaker as a complete beginner course.

FAQ

Do I need a quiet room?

It helps a lot. Speech recognition degrades with background noise and a distant microphone, so a quiet space gives more accurate feedback and fewer repeat attempts.

Is it good for beginners?

It works for beginners because the early lessons are heavily guided, but learners with some existing vocabulary get more from open conversation practice than from repetition drills.

How is this different from a general language app?

The lessons are organised around speech production and correction rather than word matching. That means less time on vocabulary recognition and more on being understood out loud.
