Elispeak
Practice speaking English for a real situation — a job interview, a work meeting, moving to a new country — with an AI tutor that gives instant feedback, instead of generic vocabulary drills.

Description
Most language apps teach English in the abstract: vocabulary lists, grammar exercises, maybe a chatbot with no particular goal. That's fine for building a foundation, but it doesn't prepare you for the actual moment you're nervous about — walking into a job interview, speaking up in a work meeting, or navigating daily life after relocating somewhere English is the local language. Elispeak, built around an AI tutor called Eli, is designed specifically around those real scenarios instead of open-ended chat.
Each session is a structured conversation with a clear objective — an interview simulation, a meeting role-play, a relocation scenario — rather than free-form small talk, and Eli gives real-time feedback on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary as you go, including flagging specific sounds you consistently struggle with and reintroducing vocabulary you've saved in later sessions so it actually sticks. It's aimed at non-native speakers who need functional, high-stakes English rather than casual conversation practice.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you specifically need to practice English for a job interview, a work meeting, or moving abroad — not just "get better at English" generally — Elispeak's scenario-first design is built exactly for that, and the free 15-minute tier is enough to judge if the format works for you.
Against broad language apps like Rosetta Stone or general practice platforms like Speakly, Elispeak's edge is narrowness: it doesn't try to teach English from scratch, it drills the specific high-stakes conversations adult learners actually need. Against a human tutoring service like Cambly or EF English Live, the tradeoff runs the other way — an AI tutor is available any time and costs a fraction of live human sessions, but can't match a real person's nuance and follow-up judgment in a genuinely unpredictable conversation. At €9.99/month for 480 minutes, it's priced well below most human tutoring, making it a reasonable bridge for someone preparing for a specific English-speaking event who doesn't need or can't afford live tutoring.
