Speakace helps you speak a new language fluently: the app plays a phrase, you repeat it, and it moves on as soon as you've spoken. Totally hands-free. Practice makes perfect; we all know that. The problem is finding the time. Speakace fits practice into your day with zero impact on your routine: much like talking with someone over the phone, you can leave your phone on the table or put in mic-enabled headphones or earbuds and carry on with whatever you were doing. BEFORE YOU CONTINUE • The app is for speaking practice, nothing else. No grammar lessons, no translation drills. • You need an intermediate level or above. • No empty promises. Practice is always hard work. We just make it more efficient and available. • Your commitment is required. We can make practice easier, but we cannot do it for you. HOW IT WORKS • Explore phrase collections on the topics you need. • Save your picks for later, or start practicing right away. • Listen and repeat each phrase, one by one, to build confidence. • Stuck on a phrase? Stay silent to automatically replay it. • Can't find the topic you need? Request it, and we'll deliver, usually within hours. PRACTICE YOUR WAY • Three practice paces, from relaxed to fast, plus adjustable playback speed. • Quick Start: type what you want to practice and start in seconds. • Feeling adventurous? Practice a random topic. • Playlists with ordered or shuffled practice and per-item repeat counts. • Keep practicing with the screen locked or the app in the background. • Pick up any session at the exact phrase you left off. • Download your playlists and practice fully offline. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Set a daily goal and watch today's progress and your weekly average. • Build a practice streak and beat your personal record. • Charts of your speaking time and spoken words by day, week, or month. • See how your daily word count compares to native speakers. • Explore your Practice Atlas: a map of the topics you've covered so far. APP FEATURES • English and German today, with more languages on the way. • Search that finds phrases by meaning, not just the exact words. • Sign in with Apple or a one-time email code. No passwords. • Private by design: no ads, no tracking, no voice recordings. SUBSCRIPTION • Browsing, searching, and saving collections are free. • Practicing requires a subscription, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. • On-demand content requests come with higher plans, or with promo credits on any plan. • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period. • Cancel or manage your subscription in the app or in your App Store account settings.
