Content Creator - TikTok

About Us

Our mission at Speak is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. Learning a language can be transformative, opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. With two billion people actively trying to learn a language globally, the most effective method – one-on-one tutoring – remains largely inaccessible and has seen little improvement in decades. Speak is addressing this by building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket. This conversation-first experience empowers learners to practice speaking, receive instant feedback, and progress through expertly designed lessons. The outcome is a comprehensive journey from beginner to a confident speaker across more than 15 languages.

Speak initially launched in South Korea in 2019, quickly becoming the number one language learning app in the region. We now serve learners in numerous markets globally. As one of the world’s leading AI companies, Speak has successfully raised over $150 million in venture investment from prominent firms like OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, and Khosla Ventures. Our distributed team spans key locations including San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
