MovieTalk Speaking
Movie-Based Speaking Practice
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Speak with real movies! New in 1.2: Letter Mode for beginners, voice-command chapters, and Charade ready to play the moment you open the app.
Speak the line. Hear the app respond. Build a habit that finally changes the way you speak English.
MovieTalk turns short movie clips into bite-sized speaking lessons. Each clip shows the English line and its subtitles in up to three other languages, then hands you a microphone and listens while you say the line back. This speak-and-respond loop is patented in the US and Korea, and it's the heart of what makes MovieTalk different.
===============================
WHY MOVIETALK WORKS
===============================
- You don't just watch. You SPEAK every line, out loud, in your own voice.
- The app reacts to what you say and moves you forward.
- Movies stay short. Lessons stay daily. The habit does the work.
===============================
TWO BUILT-IN MOVIES + UNLIMITED IMPORTS
===============================
MovieTalk ships with two full movies ready to go. Want more? Import any movie you like. Drop an MP4 plus an English subtitle file and the app slices it into clips automatically. Then translate the subtitles into the languages you study.
- 2 built-in movies (956 + 1,466 clips)
- Import unlimited additional movies (MP4 best, MOV supported)
- Auto-split into one clip per subtitle line
- Translate subtitles into many languages (iOS 18+)

===============================
FIRST LAUNCH
===============================
The first time you open MovieTalk, it downloads its built-in clips (about 90 MB) from Apple's CDN. Future updates ship code only, so they stay tiny. Internet required for the first download and for subtitle translation. Just reopen the app if it fails.
===============================
PERMISSIONS
===============================
Microphone + Speech Recognition: needed for the speak-and-respond loop. Tap Allow when iOS asks.
===============================
REMOVE ADS (OPTIONAL)
===============================
One-time purchase. Hides the banner and skips the full-screen ad after closing TV, Listening, Reading, and Movies dialogs. Help and App Settings are always ad-free. "Restore Purchase" works if you reinstall.
===============================
THE MOVIETALK HABIT
===============================
Five minutes a day is enough. Watch a clip. Read the subtitle. Speak the line. Let the app react. Do it again tomorrow.
That's the habit, and it's the thing that finally changes how you speak English.
Start with the two built-in movies. Add your favorites later. Speak every day.
