Speakly: Learn Languages Fast

You will not find a better app to learn a language.

Amazing app just wish you’d add more languages

Porque mi idioma original no está disponible.

This app is truly amazing, but please get rid of the robotic voices in intermediate and advanced French, it makes it very difficult to understand and correctly pronounce words. I love everything else about this app. I did check out Spanish and German to see if they had the voices (I set my level to advanced) and it didn’t have it, so I hope a French update is coming soon. I’ll definitely come back and give it 5 stars once it changes ❤️

I cannot change the daily goal level. Won’t let me make the change by clicking the button to save it.

I’ve been learning German for a while now. I’m pretty good with grammar stuff, but I always struggled with vocabulary. I’ve tried the old standby of flashcards, both physical and with apps like Anki, but that never worked too well too well me. This app on the other hand has been very helpful in actually retaining words. It introduces words in context, and brings them back up just as they’re about to slip from my mind. If I had one gripe, it’s at the app is iPhone only. No iPad support.

I would recommend this for everyone trying to learn a language.

I’ve been using Speakly for several months now, and I like it. It’s ONE of my favorite language learning apps. I typically just stick to building my vocabulary each day since I do mix in other apps, but it offers a lot of different options and I add all the music suggestions to my library. However- there is one thing I cannot stand. The speaking questions where you have to form a sentence. Sometimes it’s fine, and other times it’s SO picky it’s impossible to get past the question. I’ll be stuck on it for days sometimes because it takes the most minuscule detail into account that no one but the app would notice. Sometimes I eventually have to just skip the question which is frustrating. I am learning Spanish, and my boyfriend is a native Spanish speaker and even he agrees it’s ridiculous sometimes. He’s always on me on my pronunciation, so I know it’s not just me or he would 100% tell me. Even he answers the questions for me and it says he’s incorrect. I really wish the app wasn’t so robotic and took different dialectics into account(for example, the app uses the Spanish lisp, whereas my boyfriend is Mexican so he doesn’t use it and neither do I). Again, I really like this app but this one problem is really frustrating to me.

I want to learn English in this app, but there are limited mother tounge to choose. No chinese no Japanese How can i learn English with another language i even don't know how to say!

3 weeks review/ 3 month review / Update: 600 day review (1.64 years!) I’ve been using Speakly for 3 months to give a proper review, but honestly I fell in love with it from the first day. I took French in highschool for 3 years, yet couldn’t comprehend it when spoken to nor speak it beyond saying my name, which is incredibly frustrating. I could write some of it and knew some vocabulary, but that wasn’t my goal! My dream was able to have conversations and be able to actually understand it by native speakers. After high school, I didn’t continue to learn French as I was so discouraged since I didn’t understand the grammar rules, couldn’t comprehend it, nor speak it and the little nuances that were holding me back. Then came Speakly. Speakly gives you a placement test and then places you in the appropriate level, unlike other learning apps that force you to start from the very beginning (despite if you’ve already know beginner level) which is unmotivating. I love how this app is built, from the soothing colors, simplicity, icons that are motivating when you finish a level, sounds, and most importantly, the content! They have a short grammar section that helped me tremendously understand how French words join together (and why) and wasn’t overwhelming and complicated, they have an awesome vocab section that you learn by hearing natural sentences in and see the spelling, a customized playlist so you can hear songs in the language, a speak back section, a roleplay section, and my favorite the listening exercises. Although I was beyond beginner level one, I had to go back to it for the listening exercises. I love how they talk about topics that are common, ask questions in the listening exercises (not just a one sided dialogue), have a native speaker, and the ability to slow it down and have the option to see it translated. I love learning new words that way or figuring out what words they can be saying by the context (and they have the translations and tell you how to say the opposite as well). The point is, there’s always something fun to do on Speakly given the array of options. I like how it tracks your streaks and points, you get to set a daily goal, reviews words/sentences you’d definitely use, and motivates and excites me each day. After just three days? I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO UNDERSTAND SOME SPOKEN FRENCH!! Which is my dream! And was able to put together sentences that are more complex than “I am eating an apple” like on Duolingo. I used Duo-lingo for le
