English for the job site.
Short spoken lessons for welders, roofers, labourers and carpenters heading to New Zealand and Australia. Say your answer out loud: in about 20 seconds you see what we heard, PASS or REWORK, and what to fix.
Listen. Speak. Fix it.
Each lesson takes 5 to 10 minutes on your phone, and ends with you speaking.
Hear the words you need
Key words for your trade, what they mean and useful phrases, each read aloud by a natural voice. Slow it down whenever you want.
Follow a real conversation
A dialogue from an interview, a toolbox talk or a site. Listen first, then take the worker's part yourself.
Speak, and get inspected
Answer a real task out loud, with the lesson's phrases in front of you. In about 20 seconds: what we heard, PASS or REWORK, and the one sentence to redo first.
Your spoken English, inspected
Most apps check what you tap. This one listens to what you say, shows you what it heard, then tells you exactly what to change.
- What we heard: your own words, so you know you were understood
- PASS or REWORK, and the one sentence to redo first
- Each mistake crossed out, with the right sentence to hear
- A better version of your whole answer
The words the job actually uses
Welding processes and defects, roof edges and harnesses, scaffolds, formwork and framing, and the safety words every site uses. Tap any word to hear it.
- Every word, its meaning and every dialogue read aloud
- Slow mode for hard sentences
- Quick checks and review, so the words stick
Safety first, then the job

On many phones you can also tap the speaker to hear the help line read aloud.
The help text in each language is a first draft, made by machine and now being checked by native speakers. If something reads wrong, tell us.
Your recordings stay yours
We ask before your first recording is checked. Audio is deleted after 90 days, and you can delete it or your whole account any time.
Made for real work
Written around the conversations tradespeople really have: the interview, the toolbox talk, the foreman, the drawing, the defect.
Honest about what it is
Language practice, not a trade ticket. It won't promise you a job or a visa. It will get you speaking.
Questions
Is it free?
Stage 1 of every course and the 3 Day 1 on site lessons are free, with no card. Just create an account with your email.
What level of English do I need?
Beginners are fine. Every word has audio and a translation in your help language. Start with Stage 1.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on any phone or computer. The Android app is also on Google Play.
How does the speaking check work?
Your recording is turned into text by Amazon Transcribe, and an AI (Claude, by Anthropic) writes your corrections. It takes about 20 seconds.
Is this a trade qualification?
No. It's English practice for tradespeople. It doesn't replace your trade certificate, site induction or safety training.
Which languages can I get help in?
Tagalog, Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, Sinhala, Tamil and Mandarin Chinese, or plain English with no help line. The lessons themselves are always in English.
Do workers get a certificate?
When a worker has done the safety stage and half the course, their employer can print a ready-to-fly certificate. Anyone can check it on our site with its number. It shows English practice, not a trade qualification.
