You've studied. You've done the lessons. And a real person says one sentence to you and your mind goes blank. Speak City is a language game where the levels are real places — and the only way forward is to actually speak. Speak City isn't a flashcard deck, a chatbot tutor, or another course you'll abandon by Wednesday. It's the first language game where the conversation IS the curriculum: real scenes, spoken out loud, judged honestly — and a city that opens as you speak. HOW SPEAK CITY WORKS 1. You land in a city where nobody speaks your language — with nothing but your passport. 2. Every level is a real place with a real goal — order breakfast from the barista, get your medicine past a chatty pharmacist, talk your way into the party. 3. You speak. Out loud, in your own words. The characters listen, react, and speak back. 4. Every scene ends with a fair verdict: the transcript of what you actually said, what worked, what to fix — and an instant free retry. Win the scene, stamp your passport, and the city keeps opening — from surviving your first café to holding your own at a table full of locals. AN HONEST VERDICT, NOT A GOLD STAR You've had the apps that cheer everything you say — and the false sense of progress that comes with them. Speak City tells you how you really did: kindly, clearly, and with the exact words to do better. Progress you can feel, because it's real. YOU CAN NEVER FAIL — AND YOU CAN'T FAKE IT Stuck mid-scene? The world helps: the character slows down, rephrases, offers a hint, a local friend whispers the phrase you need. A total beginner still walks out with the win. The scene adapts to your level — the verdict never lies about it. A CITY, NOT A COURSE No template drills. Every scene is culture-native — the café banter, the pharmacy manners, the dinner-table chaos are true to the place, illustrated like somewhere you'd want to visit. Your passport fills with stamps, districts unlock, and the map is your progress bar. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE THE OTHER STUFF School classes. The apps. Maybe a tutor. You can pass a quiz — you just can't order a coffee. You don't need more vocabulary lists; you need somewhere safe to actually talk. Speak City is for the part of you that learned a language to speak it. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Subscribe to Speak City Plus to unlock the full city — every district, scene, and character.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Superfluent Classic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Speak City sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Superfluent Classic against 4.6 for Speak City. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speak City has 156 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 0% of Superfluent Classic's written reviews are positive against 17% of Speak City's.
Superfluent Classic ships an update monthly, Speak City every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
