A course built for your organisation
Lingly turns your roles, vocabulary, procedures, and common conversations into a workplace English course for your staff.
Workplace English training for hotel teams
Lingly builds role-specific English courses for hotel teams, so staff can practise shift instructions, guest questions, housekeeping, food and beverage, emergency language, induction, brand standards, and progression.
What teams usually try before Lingly
Language apps, classes, and translation tools can all help. The gap is that staff still need daily practice with the words, accents, instructions, and conversations they meet in hotels work.
01
Generic language apps
They can help with general vocabulary, but they do not prepare staff for shift instructions, customer questions, workplace tone, or safety language.
02
Local college or tutor classes
They can help motivated learners, but fixed times, travel, and generic course content make them hard to run across a working team.
03
Translation tools
They can solve a sentence in the moment, but they do not build listening confidence, spoken fluency, or judgement in live workplace conversations.
04
Colleague or manager translation
It keeps the shift moving, but it adds manager workload and leaves the same communication gap in place for the next shift.
What Lingly gives your team
Lingly helps frontline teams practise the English they need at work. We build training around your roles, materials, and real conversations, then give managers a simple way to track progress.

Explanations and translations help learners understand workplace English without forcing them to learn English only through English.

Hiya love, absolutely chomping at the bit for a cuppa. You fancy one, like?
What does this mean?
UK accents and workplace phrasing
Lingly helps staff practise the accents, informal phrases, and professional language they are likely to hear at work in the UK.
Manager visibility
Managers can see who has started, who is active, who is falling behind, and where learners are building confidence over time.
What staff practise
You choose what goes into the course. Lingly builds around your roles, materials, and standards. These are examples of the moments hotels teams typically want staff to practise.
Understanding shift instructions
Practise where to go, what equipment to use, what has changed, and how to confirm understanding.
Answering a guest question
Build language for directions, towels, breakfast, room issues, and polite clarification.
Food and beverage progression
Practise bar, restaurant, allergy, order, and guest-service language for staff moving into new duties.
Emergency instructions
Learn the phrases staff need for alarms, assembly points, urgent requests, and reporting a problem.
Induction and brand standards
Practise the language used in onboarding, guest standards, audit checks, service recovery, and hotel-specific expectations.
Housekeeping communication
Practise room status, guest requests, maintenance issues, lost property, and corridor conversations.
Overcoming the language barrier
Lingly is not trying to turn staff into perfect English speakers. The aim is more practical: staff understand more of what is said on shift, practise the language of their role, ask for help sooner, and need less manager intervention around recurring communication gaps.

Proof from real programmes
In five weeks Mustafa did four times the hours he'd have done in a weekly ESOL class and no longer needs Google Translate for our sessions. We'd never have got that from a classroom, no chance.
Ryan Clayton
Manager
It shows me a lot of my mistakes. Now I understand that you should proofread and do it in a professional way. It improves me a lot.
Felicia
Learner
Care notes are clearer now. Managers no longer have to chase staff for missing details because the written updates explain what happened.
Karen
Manager
My other employers just told me to build my confidence, but didn't show me how. This was the first practical training I'd received.
Michael
Learner
One staff member had barely used English since school. Now she speaks confidently in full sentences with residents and their families.
Minu
Manager
Lingly helps me use the right workplace language. I can explain myself more clearly and choose better words when I need to reassure someone.

Questions & Answers
Is this only for front desk or guest-facing staff?
No. The course can focus on housekeeping, kitchen, food and beverage, induction, safety, and guest-facing language. It can also help staff move into more guest-facing duties over time.
Can we pilot it in a few hotels first?
Yes. A practical rollout can start with a small group of learners, then use engagement and manager feedback before wider rollout.
Can the course include our brand standards and audit language?
Yes. Lingly can include the language staff need for induction, guest standards, room checks, service recovery, audit communication, and site-specific procedures.
Can lessons start with listening rather than reading?
Yes. The course can include listening-first practice for learners whose spoken understanding is ahead of their reading confidence.
How do hotel managers track engagement?
Managers can use the dashboard to see last active date, daily average practice, course progress, and learner activity.
What English level do learners need before they start?
Lingly can support mixed levels. The course can begin with simpler listening, speaking, vocabulary, and confidence-building tasks, then adapt as learners progress.
What does Lingly need from us to build the course?
Lingly needs the roles you want to support and examples of the workplace language staff need: common conversations, instructions, safety language, policies, scripts, menus, products, or procedures. The course is then built around that material.
How much time do learners need each week?
Most teams set a rhythm of 10 to 20 minutes a day. Staff can practise on a phone, tablet, or laptop, so the training can fit around shifts rather than fixed classroom times.
Can we start with a pilot before a wider rollout?
Yes. A common rollout is one site, department, or learner group first. Managers can then review engagement, learner feedback, and whether the course is covering the right workplace situations.
What does the manager dashboard show?
Managers can see who has started, who is active, daily average practice, course progress, and learner activity. The dashboard is there so support does not rely on guesswork.
Can the course cover safety or compliance language?
Yes. Lingly can build practice around the language staff need for safety instructions, policies, escalation, reporting, checks, and role-specific procedures.
How much does it cost?
Lingly is £99 per learner per quarter. That includes 24/7 access, unlimited practice during the access period, the bespoke course, manager dashboard, progress tracking, and support.
