Real input, real output. Practice tracks cover everyday topics like food, travel, health, sports, business, money, and more, from beginner alphabet tracks to advanced conversation. Features: • One quest per day to build a sustainable habit • Audio and text submissions saved to your history • Track your progress and streaks • Daily reminders to keep you on track • Free tier available to try it out; Additional tracks available with a Pro subscription (In-App Purchase) CrowSpeak was designed by a practicing linguist with a background in language pedagogy. The quest-based approach is grounded in research on how adults actually acquire language — through meaningful input and real output, not rote memorization.
