Made with 🧡 for
language lovers
We're building the place where every language learner finds their person — a real human to practice with, learn from, and grow together.
Our mission
Real conversation is the
fastest path to fluency
We started Speassy because we believe that apps, flashcards, and grammar drills can only take you so far. The moment everything clicks — when you laugh at a joke in a second language, when you catch a cultural reference, when you stop translating in your head — that moment only happens in real conversation with a real person who cares.
Our platform connects learners with native speakers through live audio rooms, one-on-one messaging, and a global community that speaks more than 80 languages. No algorithms. No gamification. Just people.
How it started
A frustrating train ride
and a big idea
In 2022, our founder Arkadiusz was on a train through Spain, three months into "learning Spanish." He had a perfect score on every app — and absolutely could not order coffee. The duolingo owl had failed him.
He opened his laptop and built a prototype that night: a room where a learner and a native speaker could just… talk. No lesson plan. No curriculum. Just two people, a shared curiosity, and a little courage.
That prototype became Speassy. Today we're a small, fully remote team of language obsessives spread across Warsaw, Tokyo, Medellín, and Seoul — each of us a learner, most of us terrible at something, all of us getting better one conversation at a time.
What we believe
Built on a few simple ideas
Real humans beat algorithms
No AI-generated conversation partner will ever tell you that your accent sounds charming, or share a local idiom they learned from their grandmother. Human connection is the product.
Progress beats perfection
Every fluent speaker once mispronounced everything. We build a space where mistakes are welcomed as proof you're trying — and trying is the whole game.
Every accent belongs here
There is no "correct" English, Spanish, or French. Every regional variety, every immigrant accent, every imperfect sentence is valid. Diversity of voice is one of our core features.
Language learning should be free
The core Speassy experience — joining audio rooms, finding partners, building streaks — is free forever. We monetize premium features, never basic access.
Safety is non-negotiable
Every room is moderated. Every user can report or block with one tap. We invest heavily in trust and safety because a space where people feel unsafe is a space where nobody learns.
The internet should have no language walls
We're working toward a world where speaking only one language is as optional as owning only one book. That's a big goal. We're okay with that.
