Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn’t been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.

I’ve tried almost every language learning method and I’m curious what actually works for people. Over the years I’ve tried: \- Duolingo \- traditional textbooks \- comprehensible input \- YouTube immersion \- tutors Each one helped in some way, but none of them seemed to work completely on their own. For example: • apps help with habit but feel shallow • textbooks teach structure but feel boring • immersion is powerful but overwhelming early I’m curious about other learners’ experiences. If you’re learning a language, I’d love to hear: 1. What language are you learning? 2. What tools do you use most? 3. Do you feel like you’re actually improving? 4. What frustrates you most about language learning apps? Just trying to understand how people learn languages.

I am leaning Czech, I'm a native English speaker. I am pretty new at the language. I have noticed that I am able to recall the Czech translations of English words on index cards, but when I try to produce sentences I can't seem to remember a lot of the words I learned. Is this a normal part of language learning? Or do I not know the words like I think I do? I have ADHD if that could be a factor.
