Four things we do differently.
Most language apps are dopamine machines dressed up as teachers. SpeakM is the other thing: a course, that happens to fit in your pocket.
Speak from day one.
Not five chapters of fill-in-the-blank first. Your first lesson has you saying a real sentence aloud with per-word pronunciation scoring.
Rule, then practice.
Every chapter opens with a plain-English grammar explanation. No surprise drills, no "figure it out from context". Understand it, then try it.
No streak shame.
Miss a day? Miss a week? Your progress waits. We won’t guilt-trip you into opening the app, we just make it nice when you do.
One story, 600+ chapters.
Stickman and Dotty travel from pre-A1 to C2 across one continuous arc. The grammar builds like a novel, not a glossary.
8 modules. 122 chapters. One story.
Every chapter opens with a painted watercolour of what Stickman & Dotty are up to today. You learn the English you need to live the scene.
Meet your travel companions.
Two stick figures learning alongside you, in English today, and every language after.
Stickman
A curious nomad, exploring the world one language at a time. Right now he’s in London learning English. Tomorrow, Madrid. The week after, Paris.
Dotty
Stickman’s travel companion. She’s learning alongside him, making friends, asking the questions he forgets to ask, and occasionally correcting his grammar.
How a chapter works.
The same calm loop, every time.
Every chapter opens with a painted scene: a scene you’re about to live in English.
Plain-English grammar page before any quiz. No tricks, no surprise drills.
Say it aloud. Per-word pronunciation score. Miss one? Read the why, not just the right answer.
A quiet "Nice job!" No streak-shame if you skip a day. Your progress waits.
What’s in the app.
Ten exercise types in the app. Here are six.
Built, not promised.
Every number on this page is something the app does today. The roadmap is below.
Each opens with a painted scene, a plain-English grammar page, and exercises that end with you speaking the chapter aloud. Modules 1–8 in the app today; 9 onwards in production.
Speaking, fill-blanks, drag-and-drop, multiple-choice, transformation, conjugation, translation, listening, error-correction, mix-match. Every chapter mixes them.
Every chapter, every exercise, every grammar explanation: free, without trial expiry. Pro adds richer pronunciation feedback on top, optional, never gating.
From hello to home.
Seven phases, from your first ‘hello’ to speaking like you grew up there.
- Phase 1 · PRE-A1 → A1
Order coffee. Say where you’re from. Greet your neighbour.
Modules 1–2, in the app today
- Phase 2 · A1
Hold a short conversation. Make plans. Talk about your week.
Modules 3–6, in the app today
- You are herePhase 3 · A2
Tell a story about your weekend. Compare two places. Disagree politely.
Modules 7–8 in the app · 9–16 in production
- Phase 4 · B1
Catch the joke. Read a magazine without reaching for translate.
Modules 17–23, designed not yet built
- Phase 5 · B2
Hold your own in a meeting. Watch a film without subtitles.
Modules 24–28, designed not yet built
- Phase 6 · C1
Read a novel cover to cover. Write a complaint letter that lands.
Modules 29–35, designed not yet built
- Phase 7 · C2
Speak without translating in your head.
Modules 36–40, designed not yet built
8 of 40 modules in the app today. The remaining 32 are mapped down to the last exercise.
After British English: Italian. Then American English.
Why most apps don't stick.
Four traps that make starting a language feel impossible, and what we do instead.
The course is free. Pro makes the practice smarter.
Every chapter, every exercise, every explanation is free, forever. SpeakM Pro adds the tools that turn practice into progress: live pronunciation correction, deeper hints, and smarter error help.
Most serious language apps charge US$ 68–165 per year.
