CiaoSpeak is a language learning app for English speakers who want to speak, not just study. Learn Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, or Traditional Chinese the way Taiwan speaks it, with a real course behind every conversation: lessons, stories, speaking practice and review. In speaking practice, a character in a real scene asks you one question. You answer out loud and find out if a person would understand you. If not, you get one gentle fix, explained in plain English. No account needed: open the app and start. HOW SPEAKING PRACTICE WORKS • Answer by voice or by typing. It doesn't have to be perfect. With a fix, you also see a more natural way to say it. • Stuck? Type it in English, see it in the language you're learning, then say it yourself. My phrasebook keeps every sentence you managed to say. TRADITIONAL CHINESE • Everyday Chinese as it's spoken in Taiwan, with Traditional characters and Taiwan-accent audio on every word. • Chinese tones and pronunciation from the first unit, Pinyin or Zhuyin (bopomofo), and handwriting with stroke-order guides. • Units labeled with TOCFL levels, from Novice to Band B. Speaking practice in Taiwan scenes: a breakfast shop, a night market, a taxi. LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH • Everyday Spanish as it's spoken in Mexico and across Latin America, from CEFR A1 to early B1. • Built around English speakers' mistakes: ser vs estar, noun gender, "tengo 20 años", gustar, and false friends like embarazada (pregnant, not embarrassed). • Speaking practice in scenes set in Mexico City and around Latin America. BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE • Everyday Brazilian Portuguese in the neutral São Paulo and Rio standard, from CEFR A1 to early B1. • The sounds English speakers find hard: nasal vowels (pão, bom), lh and nh, the Brazilian r. • Speaking practice in scenes set in Brazil. FOUR PARTS IN EVERY COURSE Lessons, leveled stories with audio, speaking practice, and spaced-repetition review of your mistakes, plus streaks, XP and an optional daily reminder. CIAOSPEAK+ CiaoSpeak is free to start. Every lesson and all review stay free forever, and today's speaking practice questions are free too (up to five a day). CiaoSpeak+ is an optional auto-renewing subscription that adds speaking practice in any scene whenever you like (fair-use limits apply), your whole phrasebook, the full Stories library and unlimited Quick Practice rounds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Math Pair at none against CiaoSpeak's 2. CiaoSpeak's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
