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.
----------
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.

Ratings and Reviews
App I’ve been looking for
There are lots of apps that teach you tourist phrases or do flash cards one word at a time. But this app has several important (to me, at least) features you don’t often see.
First, they have many language levels. Second, they have lots of spoken word content and several ways to use it. For example, I started by listening to phrases in French and then English. It has a nice UI for repeating phrases in both languages. But it also has phrase flash cards where you can let it know whether you understood and it uses this to determine rotation of flash cards. Third, pretty much everywhere in the app it lets you record your own voice and here it played back side by side with the original. Which leads to the final feature, a built-in coach. Now, I haven’t really used this feature. But it lets send the audio you record to the coach and get feedback which I thought was pretty cool.
The irony is that I like this app more than the others I’ve tried and so much functionality here is free. I’m impressed with how many different phrases they have at each level. If I end up using this regularly, I plan to get some paid content just to support the app (i.e., not because I need to “unlock” anything).
Overall, very impressed. I certainly hope they can keep the content coming.
Useful Idea! Awesome!
This app is a great and very helpful idea, however, there seems to be “bugs.” Referring to Listening Comprehension, No matter what device I use, there seems to be 2 “tracks” playing at the same time; there is overlap when listening making it difficult to use the app. This makes using the app very challenging. Also, when trying to pause, the app keeps playing; to stop or pause, one has to shut the app down (swipe up).
Can this be fixed anytime soon?
Update: Thank you for addressing this issue offline expeditiously. After multiple times of deleting and re-installing, The has been working well. The App is extremely helpful for learning a language at the various stages, Thank You 😊
Developer Response ,
This hasn't happened to our other users. Can you shoot us an email at help@speechling.com so we can get to the bottom of this for you?
Excellent app for feedback, speaking practice
This is a remarkable app. So many language apps focus on the receptive/passive side of language learning, as opposed to the productive/active side. Speechling gives you a chance to speak the target language and receive feedback in very timely fashion. It’s the perfect app for busy people who want to keep up their language learning but don’t have hours at a time to do lessons with a tutor. Their customer service is responsive and friendly, and they’re planning to add more languages to the ones they have already (Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese, English). I’m recommending it to everyone I know who’s studying a language.
