    What an amazing experience at the Speak TW user meetup! 🫶 I had such a great time connecting with the Speak team, especially during our discussions on user growth and marketing analytics. It was refreshing to share our day-to-day challenges in the software product space and find so much in common. One moment that really stood out was when their CTO mentioned that they view human English tutors as their true competitors, not other apps on the market. That perspective really impressed me and speaks to their dedication to building something truly special. I started using Speak earlier this year when they launched in Taiwan, and what really hooked me was their innovative design that makes practicing English speaking so easy and seamless. Features like hands-free mode and daily streak challenges have made English practice a natural part of my daily routine. The quality of the event was fantastic—from learning about the app’s history, to engaging with interactive games, hearing user feedback, and getting a sneak peek at some exciting new features. I’m really looking forward to seeing more incredible courses and features from Speak in the future! ✨ #software #usermeetup #Speak
