About

Fluency should be within reach for everyone.

Cathoven Speaking exists because the cost of a fluent conversation partner has been the biggest barrier to real English progress — for decades.

Our mission

The single biggest predictor of adult English fluency is how often you speak. Not grammar drills, not flashcards — actual conversations where you stretch to express real ideas. But finding a patient, skilled conversation partner is hard: it costs time you don't have and money you'd rather not spend.

Voice AI has finally gotten good enough to close that gap. Gemini 2.5 Flash Live can hold a natural conversation, listen carefully, and adapt to your level. Cathoven Speaking puts a tireless tutor in your pocket — one that remembers your goals, tracks your sub-skills, and never judges a stumble.

Part of the Cathoven family

Cathoven is an AI language-learning company building rigorous tools for learners, teachers, and language schools. We're best known for the CEFR Vocabulary Profiler and the IELTS Writing Checker — the same scoring rigor that powers those tools powers every Speaking assessment.
