----------

Speechling is a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit based in California, USA.

We are committed to providing the highest quality free language education to anyone in the world.

----------

How it works:

1. Listen to a native speaker, of either gender, say a sentence.
2. Record yourself on the microphone.
3. Get feedback within a day.
4. (Soon) Have others think you're native.

----------

The Speechling Method

With a foundation in our mission, the Speechling Method uses a combination of technology and human coaching to help our students learn new languages.

We place an emphasis on speaking, because of the lack of free and affordable tools for helping people speak. By breaking down spoken language barriers, we hope to increase access to education, employment opportunities, and a better quality of life.

----------

Immersion

As a technology platform, we’re available as an educational tool 24/7. Speechling uses spaced repetition and sophisticated algorithms to let our users practice from thousands of sentences with real human voices from both genders.

Unlike other for-profit companies, our platform is entirely free - for eternity. We aim to be build the best platform to learn a language with spaced repetition and adaptive learning algorithms.

----------

Personal Feedback

As a personal tutoring service, our certified pronunciation coaches give feedback on your speaking within 24 hours. Advanced students can answer a question or describe an image, and we will give feedback similar to what a private tutor will provide.

Unlike other for-profit companies, our coaching is also free - but because it has significant overhead costs, we charge just enough to cover our costs and for those who demonstrate that they cannot afford that price, we provide full scholarships.

This app really is soooo good. Even 3 years into language learning I didn't realize how important some of the exercises in here can be, until now. Awesome supplemental learning that everyone should have as a part of their personal learning schedule. I love the listening practice, and I really enjoy how customizable the difficulty settings are (amazing). I don't even like doing dictation, but it's so quick and easy on here. I do wish listening mode had options to turn off English. Still great 👍

I haven't opened the app, but, this sentence from your description won me over: "Unlike other for-profit companies, our platform is entirely free - for eternity." I don't know how you're making money, but thank you! Update: you're making money from the premium. I can't afford this, either. I know, you got to pay for the coaches so it's not a deal breaker and what you do give for free is pretty awesome. I sure wish the journal was free, though.

Giving me a word in English then saying the translated word for me is not how I learn a new language. Having sentences with blanks and multiple choice responses is not how I learn a new language. I need memorization. I need to put my vocabuary to the test. I need to engage my brain with proper sentence structure and context. Speeching got it right for once.
