Speak: Language Learning review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Speak is a strong pick if your goal is to talk, not to read, and one of its six languages is the one you want. If you need a free option, a wide choice of languages or solid grammar and writing practice, pair it with a course or choose another app.

What Speak: Language Learning is

Speak builds its lessons around talking out loud. According to the description, you learn real-life phrases with a teacher, repeat them until they come without thinking, practice with an AI tutor that gives feedback on pronunciation, grammar and fluency, then use them in conversations. Courses cover Spanish, English, French, Italian, Japanese and Korean.
