Speak is focused on one thing Duolingo doesn't do well: actual speaking practice. You have real AI conversations out loud, and it gives instant pronunciation feedback and corrects your grammar in context. It is particularly effective for English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, and German learners. Research from MIT showed measurable improvements in speaking after just a few weeks. Best used alongside a grammar-focused tool.
