## Verdict

Excellent for learners whose goal is to speak comfortably. Those who want reading and grammar depth or free tiers may combine it with other apps.

## What it is

Instead of tap-to-match exercises, Speak asks learners to talk from the first lesson, with structured courses, roleplays, and open conversations. The AI tutor gives feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and phrasing, and adapts practice to weak spots. It began with English for Korean speakers and now covers several languages.

**What makes it different:** A speaking-first approach with real-time AI feedback, aimed at conversational confidence rather than vocabulary drills.

**Best for:** learners who want to practise speaking a new language daily with corrective feedback

**Not ideal for:** learners focused on reading and writing or who need a free option

## Key features

- **AI tutor conversations** — Open-ended practice with corrections and suggestions.
