Building a world where every child and young person can speak confidently across cultures — one lesson at a time.
TalkGlobal was founded in 2019 with one belief: that speaking a second language should not be a privilege for the few — it should be joyful, accessible, and genuinely effective for everyone aged 4 to 30.
We built a platform where real, certified teachers deliver live interactive lessons — not algorithms, not video recordings. Every student gets a teacher who knows their name, their pace, and their goal.
Today TalkGlobal serves over 12,000 students across Russia and 20+ countries, with 340+ teachers covering 10 languages across every age group and level.
Every decision we make at TalkGlobal comes back to these principles.
We believe great teaching is irreplaceable. Every teacher is hand-screened, certified, and continuously supported — because your experience depends entirely on theirs.
Children's safety is non-negotiable. Every kids classroom has a second adult monitor, strict chat policies, and parent transparency built into every lesson.
Progress reports after every lesson. CEFR level tracking. Homework completion rates. Badge milestones. We make learning visible so you always know it is working.
Language learning should not be expensive or complicated. Group lessons from ₽ 550/hr. Trial lessons are always free. No hidden fees, ever.
Boring classes produce students who give up. We design every lesson — from the youngest kids to busy adults — to be genuinely engaging and fun.
Every student joins a global community of language learners. Speaking clubs, shared classrooms, and teacher relationships that go beyond the hour.
