The WeSpeke apps enable them to turn any downtime into productive time, during which they can build language skills and make global connections,” said Michael Elchik, CEO of WeSpeke. “Whether they are looking to advance in their careers, prepare for a trip, succeed in a language class, or learn another language as a personal goal, our mobile apps extend the WeSpeke experience to help them accomplish this.”
With the updated WeSpeke mobile apps, available to download for free from the iPhone App Store and Google Play Store, users can keep their conversations going and access language learning opportunities whether on a bus, in the subway, at the airport, in line for coffee, or hanging around at home.
