Making English language practice, play.
The Boom Room Method
* This is our Beta website — you’re getting early access while we test this innovative approach.
One actor.
One facilitator.
One rule:
Be Strong And Wrong
From spontaneous interactions, absurdity, to the most challenging personalities, our goal is to help you explore who you are when the pressure is on in English.
Help us change the world of language practise.
Language learning has been stuck teaching grammar rules and perfect pronunciation. But life isn't a set of memorized phrases. Life is interacting with real people: messy, complex, unexpected, and nuanced.
Through our research and testing, we've discovered the key to presence is to be strong and wrong.
No one will remember if you said something correctly or not. What they'll remember is how you showed up.
We're building something that could transform how people find confidence in any language. And that makes all the difference.
In the Boom Room,
You’ll never know what’s coming next. And that’s exactly why it works.
A Boom Room Session might start with a character that has lost his keys and needs you to help—then he asks for a complicated favor…
Or you could meet someone who is standoffish—until you get to know her better…
Starting with simpler interactions, each scenario takes twists and turns and shifts into different opportunities for you to actively practice responding in English.
The Science of The Boom Room Method
Our method is grounded in psychology and neuroscience,
designed to activate growth at both cognitive and emotional levels.
The Flow State Advantage
The most effective learning happens in a flow state, where you're fully absorbed without fear.
Our method creates this by balancing challenge and safety: your mind operates at peak capacity, and you learn at an accelerated rate.
The feeling of "buzzing" energy after a Session is the feeling of progress.
Social & Emotional Intelligence
Language is social and practical.
Our live simulations develop crucial skills beyond vocabulary, rooted in situated learning.
By interacting with an actor, you develop the social and emotional intelligence to read body language and respond to nuance.
You are not just learning a language; you are developing the human skills to truly connect.
Embodied Cognition
Embodied cognition is the principle that physical action deepens learning.
When you act out conversations, your brain forms new neural pathways through neuroplasticity.
This builds a form of muscle memory for language, making your fluent responses feel natural and effortless.

We ‘re Creating The Method We Wish We’d Had When We Moved To A New Country.
When we sold everything and moved our little family to Italy, we could use the language, but we struggled to authentically express ourselves during moments of stress, fear, or overwhelm.
We needed a consequence-free zone to play, take risks, make mistakes, and meet ourselves in this new language.
We needed The Boom Room.
So we built it.
By blending practical and immersive learning with high-impact communication training, The Boom Room Method is designed to not only help you express yourself fully, but rewire how you show up in English.
You’ve got questions?
Good, that means you’re a curious person.
-
90 minutes.
The total Session includes dedicated time for The Rise and for The Landing, with The Experience itself lasting about an hour in between.
-
There’s no homework, but The Experience is a fast-paced pocket of time.
The more relaxed you let yourself be from the beginning, the better. It’s all about being as open as possible.
-
Right now, we’re offering online sessions.
But we are hard at work training facilitators for in-person Experiences.
-
You’ll have 6 sessions that are held once a week. So a month and a half in total.

While The Method is built for B1 and up, the real question is—do you feel comfortable taking a risk in English? If you are, then you’re at the right level for The Boom Room Experience.
