The one-line version

Spikdi is a calm bilingual English-learning app for Vietnamese speakers, built around short reflective passages and optional AI pronunciation scoring — with no streaks, no ads, and no leaderboards.

The 50-word version

Spikdi is a bilingual English-learning iOS app made in Saigon for Vietnamese learners. Each lesson is a short reflective passage with the Vietnamese line underneath the English; learners can read silently, whisper along, or record themselves for AI-scored pronunciation feedback. It is intentionally quiet — no streaks, ads, or notifications. Free at launch.

Quote you can use

"Most English apps treat the learner like a metric to maximize. We wanted to build something you could open after dinner without it feeling like you were back at work — bilingual on purpose, quiet on purpose, scored only when you ask."

— Tuan Nguyen, founder of ISEMI / Spikdi

What we'd love coverage to mention

• The bilingual line is intentional, not a translation crutch — see our manifesto for why.
• There is no streak counter, by design.
• Pronunciation scoring is optional and honest (no inflated scores).
• The app is made in Vietnam for Vietnamese learners, not adapted from a Western product.
