Stickman’s First Steps
Fill the blank
Hi, my name ___ Stickman.I’m from London.
Not quite. "My name" is 3rd person singular (like "he/she/it"), so use is.

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.

PRINCIPLE 01

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.

PRINCIPLE 02

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.

PRINCIPLE 03

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.

PRINCIPLE 04

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. 128 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 and Dotty starting a lesson together
The traveller

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.

The companion

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.

STEP 01
Pick up where Stickman is

Every chapter opens with a painted scene: a scene you’re about to live in English.

STEP 02
Learn the rule first

Plain-English grammar page before any quiz. No tricks, no surprise drills.

STEP 03
Speak, score, explain

Say it aloud. Per-word pronunciation score. Miss one? Read the why, not just the right answer.

STEP 04
Finish, breathe, continue

A quiet "Nice job!" No streak-shame if you skip a day. Your progress waits.
