Speak review

Speak exists for one problem adults hit with most apps: they can read a language but freeze when they have to talk. Its App Store listing describes a four-step method. You learn essential phrases in a lesson led by a local teacher, repeat them out loud, get real-time feedback from an AI tutor on pronunciation, grammar and more, then use them in simulated real-life conversations. The speech analysis looks at pronunciation, intonation and fluency, and progress tracking points to weak areas. The full curriculum covers Spanish, English, French, Italian, Japanese and Korean, with Chinese also named in the listing's subtitle. Membership unlocks all courses, singles and review material. On the US App Store, Annual Premium is $83.99 and Monthly Premium $17.99, while Premium Plus is $164.99 a year or $39.99 a month. The language list is short, and there is less grammar reference than in Babbel or Busuu, so Speak works best as a speaking add-on or for learners of its core languages.
