I can't speak English.I don't speak English.

Both sentences are understood. Only the second is what people actually say. That is the kind of gap this app is built to close.

Talk out loud with an AI partner in six languages. Your sentence is corrected the moment you say it, explained in your own language, and comes back as a quiz just as you start to forget it.

Six languages to practise

Switch language on the home screen at any time. The conversation, the corrections and the review quizzes all follow, and your progress is kept separately for each language.

Speaking practice, not another reading app

🎙️

Talk, and it talks back

Tap the microphone and answer out loud. The partner replies like a person and always ends with a question, so the conversation keeps moving instead of dying after one line. No microphone handy? Type instead.

✏️

Corrected the moment you say it

Say “I want to drink a coffee” and it offers “I'd like a coffee, please” with a one-line reason. Nothing is corrected when your sentence is already fine, so praise still means something.

🌍

Explained in your language

The reply stays in the language you are practising. The explanation arrives in yours, so you never have to decode the correction before you can use it.

🔁

Back just as you forget

Every corrected phrase returns as a fill-in-the-blank quiz after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days — spaced along the forgetting curve rather than crammed.

🐣

A buddy that reacts

Your animal buddy leans in while you speak, thinks while the reply is forming, and celebrates when a sentence comes out clean.

🎚️

At your own pace

Beginner, everyday or advanced. You can also slow down how fast your partner speaks until your ear catches up.

What gets corrected

These are real corrections from the app. Pick the language you are learning to see the rest.

What learners say
I can't speak English.
What people say
I don't speak English.
“Can't” claims you are unable to. The plain present just states a fact about you — that is what people actually say.
What learners say
I want to drink a coffee.
What people say
I'd like a coffee, please.
“I want” sounds blunt when you order. “I'd like …, please” is the everyday polite form.
What learners say
My hand phone is broken.
What people say
My phone is broken.
“Hand phone” exists in Korean English only. Say “phone”, or “mobile” in the UK.
What learners say
Yesterday I meet my friend.
What people say
Yesterday I met my friend.
Many languages mark the past once, in the time word. English marks it again on the verb.
What learners say
I'm boring.
What people say
I'm bored.
“-ing” describes the thing you are talking about. “-ed” describes how you feel about it.
What learners say
友達を会います。
What people say
友達に会います。
It feels like an object, so learners reach for を. In Japanese 会う always takes に.
What learners say
電気を消えました。
What people say
電気を消しました。
消える happens by itself; 消す is something you do. Japanese keeps that pair apart where many languages use one verb.
What learners say
ビルを飲みます。
What people say
ビールを飲みます。
A long vowel is a different word: ビル is a building, ビール is beer.
What learners say
社長、これを見て。
What people say
社長、こちらをご覧ください。
Plain form to someone senior sounds abrupt. Japanese switches politeness level with the person, not the topic.
What learners say
我有三个书。
What people say
我有三本书。
Chinese counts nouns with a measure word, and books take 本, not the all-purpose 个.
What learners say
我要一个咖啡。
What people say
我要一杯咖啡。
Drinks are counted by the container: 一杯 for a cup, 一瓶 for a bottle.
What learners say
我不能吃辣。
What people say
我不吃辣。
不能 means you are not allowed or unable to. If it is simply not what you do, 不吃 is the natural form — the same trap as “can't” in English.
What learners say
我昨天看了电影了。
What people say
我昨天看了一部电影。
One 了 is enough. Add what you watched instead of doubling the particle.
What learners say
Soy cansado.
What people say
Estoy cansado.
Ser is what you are; estar is how you are right now. Tired is a state, so it takes estar.
What learners say
Soy treinta años.
What people say
Tengo treinta años.
In Spanish you have your age, you are not it.
What learners say
Yo gusto el café.
What people say
Me gusta el café.
Gustar works backwards: the coffee is what pleases you, so it is the subject.
What learners say
Gracias para tu ayuda.
What people say
Gracias por tu ayuda.
Por is the reason something happened; para is the purpose or destination.
What learners say
Je suis vingt-cinq ans.
What people say
J'ai vingt-cinq ans.
French, like Spanish, has an age rather than being one.
What learners say
Je vais à le restaurant.
What people say
Je vais au restaurant.
à + le contracts to au, and à + les to aux. It is never written out in full.
What learners say
Un voiture rouge.
What people say
Une voiture rouge.
Voiture is feminine, so both the article and the adjective follow it.
What learners say
Je sais pas parler français.
What people say
Je ne parle pas français.
Two fixes at once: keep ne in writing, and say what you do rather than what you are unable to do.
What learners say
Morgen ich gehe ins Kino.
What people say
Morgen gehe ich ins Kino.
The verb is glued to second place. Put anything you like first, but the verb stays in slot two.
What learners say
Ich gehe zu dem Bahnhof.
What people say
Ich gehe zum Bahnhof.
zu + dem becomes zum, in + das becomes ins. Germans contract these without thinking.
What learners say
Ich aufstehe früh.
What people say
Ich stehe früh auf.
Separable verbs split: the prefix waits at the end of the sentence.
What learners say
Ich helfe meinen Bruder.
What people say
Ich helfe meinem Bruder.
Helfen takes the dative. The case is chosen by the verb, not by what feels like the object.

Examples are shown in the language you are practising. The explanation appears in your language inside the app.

Learned once, then again five times

A phrase you were corrected on does not stay learned because you understood it once. idontspeak schedules it for you: the same phrase comes back as a fill-in-the-blank quiz on this ladder, and only then is it treated as yours.

1Day 1
3Day 3
7Day 7
14Day 14
30Day 30

Quizzes hide the key expression rather than a random word — which matters in Japanese and Chinese, where there are no spaces to break a sentence on.

Twelve situations, and how each one opens

Every situation starts with the partner speaking first, so you never face an empty screen. These are the actual opening lines from the app.

In your language, not just about it

The app interface ships in 20 languages, and the explanation behind every correction arrives in the same language you read the app in. You are learning a language you do not speak yet; the teaching should not be in another one.

Interface languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Swedish, Czech, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay.

Something to come back for tomorrow

Speaking practice fails on the days you do not open the app. Points, streaks and badges exist for exactly those days.

Points you earn

  • Say a sentence10 XP
  • Say it with no correction needed+5 XP
  • Collect a new phrase+3 XP
  • Get a review quiz right+8 XP

13 badges

First words, 50 sentences, 200 sentences, three days running, a full week, a full month, 10 phrases, 50 phrases, ten clean sentences in a row, all twelve situations, 20 review answers, level 10, and three languages spoken.

A daily goal you set

Pick the number of points you want each day and the app tracks your streak against it.

Seven animal buddies

foxdograbbitcatpenguinpandabear

Fox, dog, rabbit, cat, penguin, panda and bear. Your buddy listens while you speak, thinks while the reply is forming, and celebrates when you get it right.

How it works

1

Pick a language and a situation

Six languages, twelve situations. A cafe order or an airport check is an easy first minute.

2

Tap the mic and talk

Your speech becomes text on the phone itself. The partner answers and asks you something back.

3

Get fixed, then review

Corrections appear in the chat with a one-line reason, then return as quizzes over the next 30 days.

Privacy, in plain terms

Read the full privacy policy →

  • Your speech is turned into text on your phone. Audio recordings are never uploaded.
  • No account and no sign-in. Your history stays on the device and goes when the app goes.
  • The server stores no conversations — only a per-day usage counter tied to a device ID.
  • Your learning history is excluded from Android cloud backup, so it does not travel to a server you did not choose.

No subscription

Ten free turns every day, refilled daily. If you want to keep going, a rewarded ad adds ten more, up to three times a day. Ads cover the cost of running the AI — there is nothing to buy and no account to create.

What it does not do

  • Android only for now. There is no iPhone version yet.
  • Replies need an internet connection — the AI partner runs on a server, not on your phone.
  • Free turns are limited per day. Rewarded ads extend them; nothing unlocks unlimited practice.
  • Speech recognition quality depends on your phone and its language packs. You can always type instead.
  • It is conversation practice, not a graded course. There is no certificate at the end.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no subscription and no account. You get ten conversation turns a day, refilled every day, and a rewarded ad adds ten more up to three times a day.

Which languages can I practise?

English, Japanese, Chinese (simplified), Spanish, French and German. You can switch between them at any time and each keeps its own history.

What language are the corrections explained in?

Yours. The app interface comes in 20 languages, and the one-line explanation behind each correction is written in the same language.

Is my voice recorded or uploaded?

No. Speech recognition runs on your phone and only the resulting text is sent to generate a reply. No audio ever leaves the device.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your history lives on your phone and is deleted with the app.

Does it work without the internet?

The partner's replies need a connection. Reviewing phrases you have already collected works offline.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. idontspeak is an Android app on Google Play.

How is this different from a flashcard app?

Flashcards test words you already chose. Here the material comes out of your own mouth: you speak, the app corrects what you actually got wrong, and only those phrases come back for review.

Can beginners use it?

Yes. Set the level to beginner and the partner answers in one short sentence and one easy question, and you can slow its speaking speed down.

Wasn't this app called Speakza?

Yes. Speakza became idontspeak in September 2026 — same app, same team, a name that says what it is for.
