## What is EF Hello Speak?

On paper, you're great. Out loud, at speed, in a room full of people? That's the part nobody ever trained you for.

So train it here first! Meet Addi, your AI language tutor. Addi builds a plan around the job you actually do and practices with you anytime, anywhere—until you speak up with confidence.

YOUR PLAN, BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK
Tell Addi your level, your goal and how much time you have. You get a path — what to practice today, what comes next — instead of a library to guess your way through.

FIVE LANGUAGES, ONE TUTOR
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian. Pick one and Addi builds your plan from there.

FOR THE ROOM YOU'RE IN
• Give the presentation — open strong, hold the room, handle the Q&A without freezing.
• Write the email — say it directly and professionally, the first time.
• Ace the interview — from "tell me about yourself" to the questions you ask back.
• Run the meeting — disagree, interrupt politely, close the loop.

PRACTICE OUT LOUD, 24/7
Addi is a patient tutor who never runs out of time. Role-play a real scenario over messages or in a live voice call, and get real-time feedback on pronunciation, grammar and fluency. No scheduling, no judgment, no waiting for a class to start.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO FIX
Every conversation ends with a score on pronunciation, fluency, grammar and how well you hit your goal — plus the exact lines you'd say better next time. "You're doing great" isn't feedback. This is.

REAL VIDEO, REAL ACCENTS
Watch short clips with subtitles and the key phrases pulled out, then practice saying them yourself.

TEN MINUTES, OR THIRTY
Commute, lunch break, before bed — one scenario takes ten minutes. Got a real block of time? Work through a full structured lesson: learn it, try it, then use it in conversation.

AWARD-WINNING LANGUAGE LEARNING
2024 App Store Award Winner, rated 4.9 stars, and built on over 60 years of EF's language education expertise.

TRY IT FREE FOR 7 DAYS
Every feature unlocked, cancel anytime. Ten minutes a day is long enough to hear yourself say it.

HERE TO HELP 24/7
Shake your phone inside the app or email efhello@ef.com, and we'll be there.
