"One language sets you in a corridor for life.                                   
TWO languages open every door along the way."

‒Frank Smith

Monica Brady-Myerov - mother of 10th and 12th graders


Both of my high school children used OCTB to improve their speaking and listening skills in Spanish and Japanese. Even though they are in language class in school, they never get enough time to practice their speaking! The instructors are super nice and engaging and my kids always liked talking with them. It made learning the language more fun.

Missing ingredients

Lesson by lesson tracking tools

Our platform automatically generates TWO simple graphs to assess performance: 

The ERROR PERCENTAGE and the RATE OF SPEECH 

The learner improves as he stops translating and starts thinking in a foreign language. This means that the learner speaks faster and makes fewer mistakes.

our view

ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTION

Without practicing speaking your child will never develop conversational skills. It's impossible to start playing piano by studying the notes or riding a bike without ever getting behind the wheel.
We found a way to create these one-on-one interactions and ensure that both learners and instructors are spending the time allocated to the lesson effectively. 

What's our secret sauce?
