Welcome to Speeku

What Speeku teaches, how a course is built and what makes it different.

Speeku teaches a language the way it is spoken in a real place, in short lessons you can do anywhere.

The courses

There are two courses today, and each one is its own app:

  • Speeku European Portuguese teaches the Portuguese of Portugal: the words, grammar and pronunciation you will hear in Lisbon and Porto, like o comboio, o pequeno-almoço and estou a falar. It is a great fit whether you are starting from zero or already know some Brazilian Portuguese.
  • Speeku Swiss German teaches Schwizerdütsch as it is spoken in Zurich, the language you hear on the tram and at the bakery counter, with de, d and s in front of every noun.

What is inside a course

Each course is around a thousand short lessons, from your first greeting to a real conversation. Along the way you get:

  • exercises of more than fifty kinds: pick the picture, build the sentence, fill the gap, play the scene and many more
  • every word and sentence spoken by real recorded voices, so your ear learns the real sounds from day one
  • speaking exercises that listen to you
  • a Glossary of the course's words, with examples and full verb tables
  • flashcards built from the words you have learned
