About usOur mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. We begin by teaching the next billion people English, Spanish, and French.English is the global language of business, culture, and communication, and over 1.5 billion people around the world are actively trying to learn right now. Others dream of communicating with the half-billion native Spanish speakers across the globe. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to learn tospeaka language without constant access to a speaking partner. Grammar and vocab apps don't really help - you need to actuallyconversewith someone.Speak is on a journey to fix this. We're creating an AI-powered experience that replicates the flow of a conversation,withoutneeding a human on the other end.
