Our mission
Why we built SmallTalk2Me
As non-native English speakers ourselves, we spent years struggling to sound confident in interviews, meetings, and everyday conversations. Teachers were expensive. Language
apps were gamified but shallow. Real practice required a partner we didn't have.
In 2020, three engineers from Google and Yandex asked: What if AI could be your speaking coach – available anytime, giving instant feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and fluency?
Six years later, 2.5M+ people in 125 countries have used SmallTalk2Me to improve their speaking. Companies use our AI-powered assessment to hire, train, and evaluate multilingual teams at scale.
