When you can speak the language, you can get around easier, make better connections, and you’ll have a better chance of closing deals if you’re there for business. If you want to pick up a new language quickly, Speakly is a great tool.

The words cover a wide range of useful real-life topics, including shopping, directions, dining, and much more so you can hit the ground running when you’ve reached your destination. Even if you don’t have time to practice before, Speakly syncs across all of your devices so you can even practice on the plane on the way there.
Speakly starts with the most important words first but you can also choose to learn at a variety of skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Because it focuses on real-life situations, you’ll get an education that makes a difference in your travels for a fraction of the cost of language classes.
