Description

Do you remember any of the grammar rules you studied while learning a language? SpeakWiz is a language learning platform that makes the learning process unbelievably effective and super fun. Focusing on the most applicable aspect of language proficiency – speaking, SpeakWiz makes the process of learning a language much shorter and provides enough motivation to stick to the process. SpeakWiz creates a place of gathering for people that want to learn, practice, teach or help others to learn a language. It is all around “rooms”. Rooms are intended for speaking in a specific language about different topics. Any person, whether a teacher or a student can create a room. Others can join the room at their own will. This concept allows learners to learn or practice the language around a topic that they are truly interested in, which provides one type of motivation. Another type of motivation is given in SpeakWiz by adding gamification elements such as leaderboards and coins as positive feedback that are interchangeable for virtual and physical goods that are perceived as valuable to the learner. Finally, in order to shorten the process of learning a language, SpeakWiz ties every learning or practice session to emotions. Imagine speaking a new language and making mistakes in front of tens or hundreds of people. A combination of two business models: Subscriptions to the platform and Donations, with free options exist to attract a few specific groups of customers. SpeakWiz takes the innovative approach (“Blue Ocean”) of combining Structural Gamification with learning with real people (not software), whether in a group or 1-on-1. The timing is just right since audio communication apps are enjoying the hype of ClubHouse. The team consists of 13 members, led by experienced entrepreneurs with a proven record of success, and resides in two offices: in Israel and Ukraine. Status: In productions since Jan’ 2021. Daily growth of the number of users.
