What Lingly is

Lingly is vocational English training for employment providers and other organisations that need participants to build workplace language quickly. It is designed for people who are blocked by English barriers and need practical practice for interviews, appointments, and on-the-job communication without waiting for a classroom ESOL place.

The platform gives participants daily practice in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while advisers and managers get evidence of engagement and progress through a central dashboard. Courses are tailored to the organisation’s roles and workplace language, so the training reflects the situations participants are expected to handle at work.

Core features

Daily vocational English practice

Participants practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing through short daily sessions tied to their workplace goals and the gaps in their English.

Workplace-specific content

Practice uses UK workplace language, local phrasing, regional accents, and sector-specific vocabulary instead of generic textbook prompts.

Unlimited guided learning

Learners get unlimited roleplay practice, vocabulary support, personalised lessons, and feedback during the access period.

Progress dashboard for advisers

Managers can review who is active, who needs a nudge, course progress, daily average practice, and learner activity across the cohort.

Bespoke course design

The course is built from the organisation’s roles, documents, procedures, common conversations, and other examples of English used at work.

Flexible access

The platform works on mobile and desktop and is designed for 24/7 access around shifts and other commitments.

Common use cases

  • Bridge the ESOL gap

    Employment programmes can give participants immediate English practice while they wait for work or for a better-fitting classroom option, reducing the delay between referral and learning.

  • Track progress across a cohort

    Advisers can review active learners, course progress, and daily practice before appointments or contract reviews, giving them evidence to discuss participant engagement.

  • Prepare participants for workplace communication

    Teams supporting care, hospitality, or other workplace roles can train around specific conversations, instructions, and vocabulary instead of using generic English lessons.

  • Support flexible self-study

    Participants with shifts, appointments, travel, or childcare can practise in short sessions from a phone or desktop, making the training easier to fit into everyday routines.

  • Pilot before scaling

    Providers can start with one site, one department, or a small learner group, then expand once they have evidence that the course covers the right workplace situations.
