Read full description

Speaking is the part of a language you cannot learn by reading. SpeakPair gives you five ways to practise it out loud โ€” on your own when that is easier, with a real person when you are ready. START ON YOUR OWN Shadowing Watch a short clip and repeat the speaker line by line. You copy their rhythm, stress and melody, not just the words โ€” it is one of the fastest ways to start sounding natural. Three modes: slowed down, full speed one line at a time, or the whole clip with no stops. Ten levels, each one unlocking the next. English clips for now, more languages coming. AI Coach A voice partner that is always awake. Talk about whatever you like, at your level, with nobody watching. The easiest first step if speaking to a stranger feels like a lot. Speak Sprint Name what you see before the timer runs out. Ten seconds a round, out loud. Speak Balloon Pop the balloon, find the word, say it. A word game you play with your voice. THEN TALK TO A REAL PERSON SpeakPair pairs learners with learners โ€” not students with teachers. You and the person on the other side are working on the same language and are there for the same reason. Pick the languages you speak and the ones you are learning. Tap Start Speaking. We match you with someone whose languages line up with yours, and you talk by video for 10 to 15 minutes. Rate the call afterwards and decide whether you would like to talk to that person again. Practice Hour Scheduled sessions where everyone turns up at the same time, so there is someone to match with instead of an empty queue. WHY LEARNERS, NOT TUTORS Nobody is grading you and nobody is charging by the hour. You give as much as you get, and the matcher prefers pairs who can help each other in both directions. STAY IN CONTROL Block anyone. Report anyone. Rate every call. People you block or rate poorly never come back into your matches. You decide when you are visible and when you are not. SpeakPair is for adults only. KEEP THE STREAK A daily goal, a streak that grows every day you speak, and a Hall of Fame for the people who speak the most, climb the most Shadowing levels, and score highest in Speak Balloon. LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Hindi and Turkish. WHO IT IS FOR Learners who can read and understand but freeze when they have to speak. Travellers, exchange students and exam candidates. Polyglots keeping several languages warm. Anyone who has finished a solo app and needs somewhere to actually use the words. Questions, feedback or safety reports: info@speakpair.com
