Actually speak Frenchwith real-world confidence

Totally normal. Many learners start Spokira because they feel awkward speaking French in front of others. You'll practice in private first, with just your mic and headphones. You get clear, gentle feedback and can repeat as much as you like. Most learners report feeling more okay with their own French voice after 3–5 short sessions.

Spokira French works best if you're around A2–B1: you know some vocabulary and grammar but struggle to speak out loud. If you're a total beginner with zero French, we recommend first learning basics elsewhere, then coming to Spokira to unlock your speaking.

Spokira is built around short, 5–10 minute French speaking sessions. You can do one while you make coffee, commute, or wind down at night. Consistency beats intensity. Three to four short sessions per week are enough to feel a real difference.

During your 7-day starter you get every Plus feature, pronunciation coaching, sound-level feedback, and history, with no card needed. After 7 days you can upgrade to Spokira Plus (€9/month, cancel anytime) to keep them, or stay on Starter with basic scoring and daily caps. If you don't feel more confident, just don't upgrade; there's nothing to cancel.

That's our favorite metric. Spokira is built to help you sound clear and confident enough that French speakers naturally keep replying in French. Many learners report that as their "I'm actually doing this" moment, when the barista answers in French and doesn't switch to English.

Shadowing is a language learning technique where you listen to a native speaker and immediately repeat what they say, mimicking their pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. Originally developed for interpreter training, shadowing builds the motor memory your mouth needs for fluent speech. It works especially well for French because French has sounds, like nasal vowels, the French 'r', and liaison between words, that require physical practice, not just memorization. Spokira pairs shadowing with detailed feedback so you know which sounds to improve.

Most language apps like Duolingo, Babbel, or Busuu focus on vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension through multiple-choice exercises. Spokira is 100% focused on speaking and pronunciation. Instead of tapping answers on a screen, you speak out loud and receive detailed sound-level feedback on your French pronunciation, covering vowel quality, nasal sounds, stress, and rhythm. Think of it as a private French pronunciation coach in your pocket.

Spokira is currently focused on French to keep the speaking method and feedback quality sharp. We're preparing a localized web interface and French explanations now. Spanish is the first candidate for a future target-language course, after its curriculum, audio, and pronunciation quality are validated. See the language roadmap.
