This week YouSpeak published a complete shadowing how-to, made its privacy disclosure adapt to the user's region, and refreshed the details readers check: release notes and prices.

The new Insights guide, Shadowing Technique for Speaking, walks through the method step by step: pick short audio, listen first, echo with a small delay, then record and compare. It points to the Seven-Day Speaking Practice Plan and the busy-learners shortcut; every language edition of youspeak.me carries it.

A second guide joined it: Job Interview English Practice. Its drills are built on AI role-play — the app plays the interviewer, the reader answers out loud — and each edition ships with a localized illustration.

conversation languages in live calls: English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese
18

16
language editions of the youspeak.me website

The first-launch dialog naming third-party providers is now region-aware: accounts outside mainland China see the Singapore deployment provider list, accounts in mainland China see the mainland list. Web copy follows the same rule, so what readers see matches where the service runs.

Release notes caught up with the product: version 1.1.214 describes the new first-dial microphone preparation flow, replacing text shown on the store listing since version 1.1.15.

The public price catalog now uses the November 4 snapshot, with updated localized prices for the Indonesian rupiah and the Japanese yen. The current table is one click away on the pricing page.

Language-count claims now appear in one place — the verified key figures line: 18 interface languages in the app, and 16 language editions of youspeak.me. The search sitemap now lists only real content pages. This week's changes are collected in this newsroom — start from the News section, read last week's weekly issue, or revisit the launch announcement.

"The disclosure a user sees now matches the deployment that serves them." — first-launch privacy dialog
