Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative world of language learning technology with a spotlight on SpeakTwice, a new application designed to transform the way we learn Italian. The episode features an insightful discussion with Stefano Lodola, the linguist and founder behind this groundbreaking tool. Lodola's SpeakTwice app is crafted from a "linguist-first" perspective, aiming to help learners overcome the psychological and technical challenges of speaking a new language. The app is particularly designed to address the "silent period" many learners experience, where they understand the language but struggle to speak it. By utilizing artificial intelligence, SpeakTwice offers high-frequency conversational practice, allowing users to engage in real-time dialogues and receive instant feedback on grammar and syntax.

SpeakTwice offers 2,000 grammar lessons, stories, conversation scenarios, and a spaced repetition system, all powered by a smart recommendation engine. This comprehensive approach effectively replaces many well-known language apps, providing better results. The free preview of SpeakTwice is currently available, allowing language enthusiasts to explore its capabilities and experience Stefano Lodola's unique pedagogical approach. The iOS mobile app is in beta testing, while the Android app is in open testing, with both expected to be available on the App Store and Play Store by the end of March.
