A personal project by Ashish Goyal

Amerispeak.in

Sound like you belong in every room.

Built for Indian immigrants and ESL learners. Master the vocabulary, pronunciation, idioms, and cultural phrases that Americans use every single day.

Building in public — early stage

Classroom English isn't the English people actually speak

Grammar class teaches the rules. It doesn't teach you what "my bad" means, why someone said "let's circle back," or how to jump into small talk before a meeting starts. That gap is where a lot of confident, capable people go quiet.

Before

  • Textbook grammar, but blank on everyday idioms
  • Hesitating before speaking up in meetings
  • Second-guessing pronunciation on calls
  • Missing the cultural reference everyone else got

With Amerispeak

  • Everyday idioms explained in plain language
  • Pronunciation feedback targeted to your accent
  • The confidence to speak up in the room
  • Context behind the phrases and humor Americans use daily

What it's built to do

Amerispeak.in is under active development. This is the core of what it's designed around:

01

Everyday vocabulary

The words and phrases Americans actually use day to day — not the formal English a textbook teaches.

02

Pronunciation coaching

Targeted feedback on the specific sounds that trip up your accent, not generic drills.

03

Idioms & slang

Plain-language breakdowns of phrases like "hit the ground running" or "my bad," with real context for when to use them.

04

Cultural fluency

The small talk, humor, and workplace norms that don't show up in any grammar book.

Why I'm building this

Simplifying a complicated process is what I do for work — this time the process is sounding confident.

I've spent 5+ years building automation that makes complicated, repetitive work feel simple. Amerispeak.in points that same instinct at something more personal: helping Indian immigrants and ESL learners speak up with confidence in rooms where the English isn't the kind any classroom teaches.
