Learn a language by watching. Speakit.tv is 214 video courses in one app: 22 languages, taught from the language you already speak.

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.
