SmallTalk2Me

SmallTalk2Me is an online platform for practising and assessing spoken English with AI. The core experience is a roughly 15-minute speaking test in which you talk into your microphone and receive an instant CEFR result from A1 to C2, plus a detailed proficiency report highlighting strengths and recurring mistakes. The company states that more than three million people have used the service and that around 1.5 million CEFR level tests have been completed.

Beyond the placement test, the platform offers structured learning paths built around real-world goals: business English for meetings, conversational and advanced speaking courses, an English-for-immigrants track, and dedicated IELTS preparation covering both the speaking and writing modules. Daily lessons are short — the site suggests 15 to 20 minutes — and include speaking drills, shadowing, listening tasks, and quizzes, each followed by automated feedback.

A notable differentiator is the privacy angle: learners can record themselves repeatedly without the social pressure of a human tutor or classmate listening. There is also a mock job interview simulator that walks candidates through common interview questions in English and provides coaching. The product targets individual learners first, with separate offerings for businesses and schools that need bulk assessment or onboarding-level testing.
