Made for the people who already know "some English".
People who already know some English plateau because they have nobody safe to practice with. Apps that gamify grammar miss the social loop. Tutoring is expensive. Random language-exchange apps are unmoderated and frustrating to read in mixed scripts.
Midspeak's idea is simple: the friction of the foreign language disappears at the read layer, not the write layer. You always write in the language you think in. We translate it to English on the wire. The reader always reads English, and can hover any word to see its meaning in their own native language.
Built for privacy
Profiles only show your country, native language, English level, and how many people you've practiced with. Nothing else is public — no phone number, no real name unless you choose it, no message history shared with anyone but you and the friend on the other side.
Real conversations, real progress
You learn English the way you learned your first language: by needing it, by enjoying it, by talking with people about things you actually care about. We just sand off the part that hurts — the moment you can't find a word.
