Great to build confidence!!
Review by: TheTruth7571995
Rating: 5 stars
Before this app even though i knew certain words in Spanish I often found myself shy, or hesitant when it came to actually speaking.
However with this app, I speak so much that it feels natural when I am talking now, I am much more confident and conversations flow very well!
I love it!
Excellent Job!

I’ve used Duolingo for years but I also started using Speak recently and my experience has been positive. It has a clean UI and a super simple setup.
What I liked instantly: its syllable-based pronunciation feature and the fact that there is a person (AI or not, doesn’t matter) pronouncing it for you.
Learning a new language becomes so much easier from the start because of it.
Duolingo has a vast inventory of content so it definitely has its advantages but Speak is a strong competitor.
People need to know about the excellent techniques this app offers.
Great instruction. Real world context
Review by: MooVan25
Rating: 5 stars
Speak has great instruction and is using real world examples and context in order to teach.
It is fun and interactive, not just repeating the examples over and over.
You have to actually think of the words.
Great app. Great learning tool.
Amazing!

This is the first app my parents recommended when I said I want to study abroad eventually. They both speak different languages.
I highly recommend this app.
Great for getting you speaking soon
Review by: Daniel Skuya
Rating: 5 stars
I started using Speak a few days before going to another country.
I was actually able to use some of it when I went out and about.
If you practice every day, you should be able to say a few useful phrases right away.
I’ve only been doing it for a week and it has already helped me much more than any other language app I have tried so far.
What I’ve been looking for!

This app gets you talking in 2 minutes.
There’s no note taking or boring schoolwork.
You just keep building on real world situations.
At the end of each lesson, you apply it in an AI conversation that feels authentic to a real human interaction.
So good.
Gracias

I’ve tried multiple apps because I really want to learn to speak Spanish again.
This one actually gets you talking unlike the others.
I feel like I’ve already learned so much and it hasn’t even been a week yet.

This is everything every language app claims to be, but the others don’t stick and feel ineffective.
This has me speaking so quickly and everything sticks so well.
Very grateful for this app.
Better than Duolingo
Review by: JackieBanchan
Rating: 5 stars
I used Duolingo for six months and got frustrated with the random lesson plan and nonsensical AI-generated sentences.
Speak impressed me with its emphasis on speaking and its cohesive AI model.
Thank you for the quality product.
5 stars!

Currently studying Japanese.
This app is perfect for learning how to speak.
Most apps only focus on reading, writing, and basic speech.
This app really gets you engaged.
Great language app!

Speak is much easier to follow and doesn’t have a passive aggressive tone.
I feel like I’ve learned more in a shorter amount of time.
Definitely worth the money.
