TOEFL speaking practice
TOEFL speaking rewards fast, structured answers. Train the speed daily.
The speaking section gives you seconds to prepare and under a minute to answer, and it is scored on delivery, language use and topic development produced live. That combination of speed and structure cannot be crammed from a book; it is built through daily spoken practice, which most candidates skip entirely. SpeakBase Talk gives you a daily partner: Kate asks opinion and experience questions like the ones the section uses, keeps your answers moving, corrects grammar and phrasing in real time, and levels up as you do. To be clear: SpeakBase is not a TOEFL preparation course and is not affiliated with ETS or TOEFL. It is the daily speaking mileage your score is built on.
What daily practice with Kate gives you
Opinion-question drills
Agree or disagree, describe, choose and justify, with follow-ups, at your level and climbing.
Corrections that stick
Grammar and phrasing fixed in real time with a short explanation; mistakes become review flashcards.
Speed under mild pressure
A live partner keeps turns moving, training the fast retrieval the section times you on.
A CEFR speaking estimate
A spoken level check locates you from A1 to C2, so progress is measured, not felt.
Why the speaking section feels brutal
Fifteen seconds of preparation, forty five seconds of answer, into a microphone, with a clock. The task is not knowing English; it is retrieving it fast and organizing it as you go: opinion, reason, example, wrap. That is a trainable rhythm, and the training is answering unexpected questions out loud every day until the structure becomes automatic.
Drill the answer shape, not memorized templates
Raters hear memorized template answers all day and score them poorly. Ask Kate for rapid opinion questions: agree or disagree, describe an experience, choose and defend. She pushes follow-ups so you practice building an answer live, which is the skill the section actually scores. Because it is a real conversation, no two answers come out the same.
Track your level on the CEFR scale
SpeakBase's spoken level check grades your speaking from A1 to C2 on the CEFR scale. ETS publishes an approximate correspondence between TOEFL scores and CEFR levels, so watching your CEFR speaking level rise over weeks is an honest, independent progress signal, with nobody promising you a score.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a TOEFL preparation course?
No, and it does not pretend to be. SpeakBase is a daily speaking practice tool. Use it for fluency, structure and confidence; use official ETS materials for the exam format, task types and strategy.
Can it predict my TOEFL speaking score?
No, and be wary of tools that claim to. It grades your speaking on the CEFR scale, and ETS publishes an approximate TOEFL-to-CEFR correspondence you can consult.
How should I practice in the last month?
Ten to twenty minutes of spoken answers daily beats occasional long sessions. Fluency and retrieval speed are perishable; daily minutes keep them warm through exam day.
How much does it cost?
The first 5-minute trial lesson is free, no credit card. Premium is 39 ILS per month in Israel or 11.99 USD internationally, with up to 20 minutes a day and 150 a month.
Does it help with IELTS too?
Yes. The underlying skill is the same: fluent, structured spoken answers to unexpected questions. The practice transfers to any spoken exam.
