speakada.com Reviews 

I’m extremely disappointed with this website and the flashcard deck I purchased. Before buying it, I thought that because it was expensive, it would be detailed, high-quality, and genuinely helpful. I expected something advanced and worth the price.

However, the flashcards turned out to be extremely basic and not useful at all. There is nothing special about them. You can easily find better alternatives online for free, and honestly, you could create something similar yourself in a very short amount of time. It’s just very, very basic.

I honestly felt like I was scammed. The product does not match the price at all.

When I contacted customer service to request a refund, they refused. Instead of taking responsibility, they made all kinds of excuses to cover up the fact that their flashcards are very basic and very easy to make. It felt like they were just trying to justify the price rather than actually address my concerns. On top of that, the customer service team had a very nasty attitude.

Super disappointed in the Spanish pronunciation Anki deck. Few cards and the minimal pairs are too easy. I expected to have the unique Spanish sounds in a larger variety of words.

I happily pay for pre-made Anki decks but $50 for this choice was too much.

Verdict: (3/5) — Solid, not a scam, but pricier than DIY or free Anki decks. Great word list; setup and extras need work.

Price & Value — 3/5
At $220 the Italian vocabulary bundle is pricey, especially for students. You’re paying to save time versus building your own deck. You can find similar 2,000-word lists cheaper (even on Amazon or AnkiWeb), but you’d still need to create and format the cards yourself. So value is neutral: you’re trading money for convenience.

Content & Usability — 1.5/5
These aren’t “simple” flashcards. The cards are packed with fields and settings, which can overwhelm beginners. The good news: you can edit the templates and fields (ChatGPT helps), but expect about an hour of tinkering to get the layout you want. For true plug-and-play learners, this is a hurdle.

Word List Quality — 5/5:
The 2,000-word list is strong and very usable for everyday Italian. If you actually learn and review them, it can realistically carry you toward B1–B2 for daily life. Occasionally a word appears without much context, so add your own notes if you’ve simplified your card layout.

Audio — 4/5:
Generally clear and helpful. Not studio-perfect every time, but absolutely fine for beginners and daily practice.

Example Sentences — 1/5:
Only about 100 sentences, and they’re very basic. For my learning style, this added no to little value.

Images — 2.5/5:
Images are okay, but can be confusing with verbs, pronouns, and adjectives. If you rely on visuals for learning, you may want to customise or swap images.

Overall:
3/5 feels right. Speakada isn’t a scam; it’s a decent product with a great word list and good audio, but you pay a premium and still need to customise the deck to make it truly beginner-friendly. If you want instant, minimal-effort cards, you’ll likely find cheaper, ready-made options on AnkiWeb. If you’re happy to tweak layouts and fields for an hour, this bundle can work well.

Tip for Speakada: Be upfront on the site about the density of each card, add more example sentences, tighten image/grammar alignment, and offer a “simple layout” preset for beginners. Also, since many learners come from Fluent Forever, call out how to use pictures effectively.

Have fun studying!

The flashcards they sell are of low quality and priced exorbitantly, giving the impression that they hold significant value. However, once purchased, you realize they are completely useless, and to make matters worse, they don’t offer refunds! Don’t get scammed!!
