About Us
Our mission is to revolutionize the way individuals learn languages.
Mastering a language can transform lives by opening doors to diverse cultures, professions, and communities. With two billion people worldwide striving to learn a new language, access to effective one-on-one tutoring remains a challenge and has seen little innovation over the decades. Speak is creating an AI-enhanced tutor that fits in your pocket, delivering a conversation-first approach that enables learners to practice speaking, receive instant feedback, and progress through thoughtfully crafted lessons. Our platform provides a comprehensive journey from novice to confident speaker in multiple languages.
Launched in South Korea in 2019, Speak has emerged as the leading language learning app in the region, now catering to learners in various markets across over 15 languages. As one of the foremost AI companies globally, we have successfully secured over $150 million in venture capital from notable investors including OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, and Khosla Ventures. Our team operates remotely across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
