SpeakPal

Need to rehearse a hotel check-in, a job interview or a ordering-at-a-restaurant chat before a trip? SpeakPal lets you practise those exchanges by typing or speaking with an AI tutor and getting feedback straight away.

SpeakPal is an AI language learning platform with chat-based tutors available in more than 30 languages, so the range of choice is wide.

The lessons are organised in stages.

You move through vocabulary, phrases, daily dialogues and writing, and you can download exercises to work through away from the app.

Simulated dialogues cover business, travel, work, study, daily life and technology, which makes it easy to pick a scenario that matches why you are learning in the first place.

SpeakPal courses suit beginners through to more advanced learners, and a teenager mode is included for younger users.

The focus is on speaking: you practise in live back-and-forth conversation with the AI tutor and see corrections as you go.

If you want a conversation partner available at any hour rather than a fixed class schedule, this chatbot-style approach fits well.
