Description

Description

Speakly’s methodology is built on teaching the 4,000 most statistically useful words of a target language. The app uses spaced repetition flashcards, listening exercises, and simulated conversations to embed these high-frequency words and phrases. By prioritizing practical vocabulary, Speakly helps beginners and intermediate learners build conversational confidence quickly. While light on deep grammar, its practical approach is highly efficient for those whose primary goal is to start speaking.

FluentU uses authentic video content—such as music videos, commercials, and news clips—as its foundation for language lessons. The platform features interactive subtitles that allow users to click on any word for a definition, example sentences, and pronunciation. New vocabulary can be saved as flashcards, which are then reinforced through personalized quizzes. While it offers a method for learning vocabulary in context and improving listening skills, it does not provide explicit grammar instruction or speaking practice.
