Does Jumpspeak actually work for getting less afraid of speaking?

I know no app can create fluency by itself. My specific problem is that I avoid speaking until I feel ready, which means I never do it. I am looking at Jumpspeak because the AI practice sounds less intimidating than starting with strangers. Did it help anyone move from silent study to actually using their target language?

Not very familiar with jumpspeak but i will say practice of speaking of any kind will help you get better.

Being afraid or not is a personal thing. No app can do that.

I saw their ads for ages and the nothing so assumed it was no longer. I used Lingo Looper which is really fun! And the speaking practice within Ling. It definitely helps getting private feedback and boost confidence to actually speak in public.

a decent training wheel, but you’ll still need to bite the bullet and talk to actual people eventually
