What our research says

Speak

Speak is the app to pick if your problem is that you can read a language but freeze when you have to talk: every lesson pushes you to say full sentences and the tutor talks back. It is weaker on grammar explanation and reading, and the price is hidden until you are inside the trial. Six target languages for English speakers is a narrow menu next to Duolingo or Babbel.

Pros

Lessons are built around speaking aloud, with real-time pronunciation and phrasing feedback
Open-ended AI tutor roleplays (ordering, reservations) go beyond scripted drills
7-day free trial before any charge
Built with OpenAI and backed by its startup fund, so model quality tracks the frontier

Cons

No prices on the website; they vary by region and promotion and appear only in-app
Six languages for English speakers, far fewer than mainstream rivals
Fees are non-refundable and cancellation needs three days' notice before renewal
The method depends on speaking to your phone, which is awkward in public

Think In Italian

The conversation-first approach, where the app adapts difficulty live and corrects pronunciation as you talk, is a real difference from flashcard-style apps. The free tier caps daily practice, and this research pass couldn't pin down the exact subscription price since the pricing page blocked automated access.

Pros

Conversations adapt difficulty to the learner in real time rather than using fixed lesson tiers
Live pronunciation and grammar feedback during speech, not just after a written exercise
Free courses need no card to start
Available on iOS, Android, and web

Cons

Free tier caps daily practice, pushing regular users toward the paid tier
Exact subscription price wasn't visible on the pages checked during this research pass
Focused on Italian only, part of a family of single-language apps rather than one multi-language product
