Speak review: Spoken-language practice app with AI conversation and feedback

What Speak does

Teaches a new language through spoken lessons and AI tutor conversations, with feedback on pronunciation and phrasing.

Speak is a language learning app that concentrates on getting you to talk. Instead of leaning on written drills, it walks you through a loop the vendor calls the Speak Method: you learn phrases that native speakers use, repeat them in varied situations until they become automatic, and then use them in a back-and-forth conversation with an AI tutor that gives feedback.

The curriculum is described as written by language education experts and then personalized by AI. Lessons come with immediate feedback on pronunciation and phrasing, plus streaks, progress tracking and reminders. English speakers can study Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, Italian and Simplified Chinese, and the vendor says non-English speakers also use it to practice spoken English.

Access is subscription based. There is a 7-day free trial, after which a paid subscription is required. Two paid plans exist: Speak Premium, which covers the core learning experience, and Speak Premium Plus, which adds unlimited personalized lessons, custom review built from your mistakes, Made for You lessons and the full Speak Tutor experience. Pricing not published on the official site pages we reviewed; the vendor says amounts vary by plan, region and promotions and are shown in the app. A separate Speak for Business plan offers teams role plays, pronunciation practice and an admin portal. Subscriptions can be cancelled through the App Store, Google Play or the Speak app.

Our take

Speak suits people whose main goal is speaking a new language aloud and who want structured lessons with spoken feedback rather than open-ended chat. Beginners are explicitly covered, and the Premium Plus tier adds more personalization for learners who want review built around their own errors. It is a weaker fit if you need a language outside the listed six, want a permanently free tier, or need to compare exact prices before signing up, because the official pages we reviewed show no amounts and no free plan. The 7-day trial is the way to judge whether the approach works for you before paying.
