Speak
AI language tutor for conversational practice.
Last updated · Filed under Learning & Education
About this tool
Speak is an AI-powered language learning app that focuses on speaking practice rather than tapping translations. Lessons combine short video explanations from human teachers with extensive AI-driven speaking drills where learners hold conversations with an AI tutor on topics like ordering food, work scenarios and travel. The AI listens, evaluates pronunciation and grammar, and gives feedback in real time. Speak supports English for non-English speakers in many markets and has expanded into Spanish, French, Korean and other target languages for English speakers. Backed by OpenAI's Startup Fund, Speak emphasizes fluency through repeated, low-pressure speaking, and is offered as iOS and Android apps with Premium and Premium Plus subscriptions plus a B2B Speak Business product for companies that want to upskill employees in English.
