Learn a language by watching. Speakit.tv is 214 video courses in one app: 22 languages, taught from the language you already speak. A native speaker says a phrase, you see it written on screen, and you see it in your own language — all at the same time. EVERY LANGUAGE, ONE SUBSCRIPTION Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, Thai and more. Start one, switch to another, come back to the first. There is no separate purchase per language. SAY IT BEFORE YOU CAN READ IT The scripts that stop people — Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Korean — all come with the sounds written out underneath: romaji, pinyin, transliteration. You can say a phrase correctly in your first lesson without reading a single character, and the letters start to stick on their own. BUILT FOR YOUR LANGUAGE The same courses are explained in 12 different mother tongues — English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. 121 language pairs in all. One method, whichever one you think in.

You pick up the right accent from the first lesson. SHORT LESSONS, REAL PROGRESS Self-contained video lessons you can finish in one sitting.
