TL;DR
Speechling is a specialized tool for improving pronunciation. You record yourself mimicking native speakers, and a real coach provides feedback on your recordings.
An audio-heavy platform that uses massive repetition of sentences to develop fluency. It requires discipline and is not for absolute beginners.

Description

Description

Speechling is a non-profit platform singularly focused on improving spoken fluency and pronunciation. The method is simple yet effective: you listen to a sentence from a native speaker, record yourself saying it, and submit your recording for feedback from a human coach. This targeted approach provides personalized corrections that automated speech recognition cannot offer. It is not a comprehensive course for learning a language from scratch, but rather an invaluable tool for learners who have a basic foundation and want to refine their accent and conversational confidence.

Glossika employs an audio-lingual method, exposing users to thousands of natural sentences for repetition. The goal is to internalize grammatical patterns and sentence structures through high-volume listening and speaking practice, rather than explicit study. Its algorithm uses spaced repetition to schedule reviews. While powerful for developing an intuitive feel for a language, the method is highly repetitive by design and provides no grammar explanations, making it challenging for those who prefer more analytical approaches.
