Smalltalk2 Me

SmallTalk2Me is an AI platform for practising spoken English. It lets you test your English level, get a CEFR score in minutes and practise speaking as often as you want, with real-time feedback on fluency, pronunciation and grammar. The company says more than 3 million learners in over 125 countries use it, and that it has run more than 1.5 million CEFR level tests.

English level test

The free AI English level test evaluates your fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar and gives a CEFR score. SmallTalk2Me claims 95% accuracy for its CEFR estimates. You can retake the test at any time to track your improvement.

IELTS preparation

An AI IELTS speaking simulator lets you practise all three parts of the speaking test and get an estimated band score instantly, with detailed feedback on fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. There is also an IELTS writing simulator and a test preparation programme. Mock tests can be taken online for free.

Job interview practice

The AI interview simulator lets you practise commonly asked interview questions in English and get feedback, aimed at international professionals and job seekers who need to interview in English.

Courses

Speaking lessons help you build a daily habit, with courses in general English, conversational English, small talk, business English, English for meetings and work, academic English, advanced speaking and English for immigrants. A grammar course, vocabulary booster and speaking challenge are also offered. The site suggests 15 to 20 minutes of daily practice.

Schools and businesses

There are versions for schools and businesses, and the site is available in several languages, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Turkish and Spanish.

Pricing

The level test and IELTS speaking mock tests are free; check the site for the price of paid courses and full access.

Things to consider

An AI band score or CEFR estimate is a practice guide, not an official result; only an official IELTS or certified test counts for visas, jobs or university entry. Speech recordings are personal data, so review the privacy policy.

Because feedback is immediate and the tests can be repeated, learners can practise speaking every day without booking a tutor, and see which areas, such as pronunciation or grammar, are holding their score back.
