Speak850 teaches Basic English — the famous method created by linguist C. K. Ogden: a small, carefully chosen core of 850 words that can express almost any everyday idea. Learn it in your own language.
A complete 14-week course · 22 languages · One-time purchase, no subscription
In 1930, linguist C. K. Ogden chose 850 words that, used well, can express almost any everyday idea. Master this core and you can communicate right away — then grow naturally toward full English. Speak850 turns that method into a guided, modern course you do a little of each day.
All 852 Basic English words, grouped into clear topics — People, Actions, House & Home, The Body, and more.
Spaced repetition brings each word back exactly when you're about to forget it.
A daily review queue, study streak, daily goal, and an optional reminder keep you going.
Clear, natural pronunciation for every word and example sentence.
Every word and example is shown with a translation you understand — 22 native languages.
Progress stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
The first topics and a daily review are free, so you can feel the method before you decide. Pro unlocks everything — once.
Speak850 collects nothing. Your learning progress and settings are stored on your device and synced only through your own private iCloud. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party tracking.
