Speak
Language tutor you talk to, with sentence feedback
Speaking-first language learning: open-ended conversation practice with an AI tutor plus feedback on pronunciation and phrasing, across multiple languages. Premium around $20/mo or ~$99/yr; pricing varies by region.
What it does
Speak is built on the premise that you learn a language by speaking it badly, often, to something with infinite patience. Lessons center on saying sentences aloud and getting immediate feedback on pronunciation and phrasing, escalating to open-ended AI conversation practice.
It began with English learners in South Korea and expanded globally across multiple languages, becoming one of the most prominent consumer AI language apps.
Premium typically runs about $20/mo, with annual plans around $99-120 depending on region and promotions, and higher tiers for unlimited conversation practice.
AI stack
Built on OpenAI models; OpenAI's Startup Fund is an investor.
From the AXIS Launch team
Speaking-first is pedagogically right and operationally hard — most apps default to taps and flashcards because speech is unforgiving to grade. If you claim this: what can you share about measured speaking-fluency outcomes versus classroom or tutor baselines?
