Workword helps foreign and migrant workers learn the Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese they need on the job — not tourist phrases, but the vocabulary, dialogues, listening skills, and safety language used on real workplaces.
Stop learning how to order coffee. Start learning how to follow a safety briefing, name the right tool, and talk to a supervisor.
WHY WORKWORD
• Job-first learning — words and phrases from real workplace situations
• Sector tracks — welding, hospitality, butchery, construction, logistics, healthcare support, and many more job paths
• Safety-first — priority lessons for warnings, emergencies, and clear instructions
• Short lessons — a few minutes, made for breaks and commute time
• Audio-first practice — listen, speak along, and build confidence on the floor
• Voice practice — pronunciation drills with instant feedback
• Offline-friendly — study when the site or commute has limited data
• Progress sync — pick up on phone, tablet, or web
• Exam prep — optional A1 practice for civic integration and English exam formats
WHO IT’S FOR
If you started a new job and need to understand supervisors, safety briefings, customer talk, or tool names quickly, Workword is built for you. The tone is practical and adult — no childish games, just useful language for work.
Employers and HR can invite staff with a code or link and follow completion in a privacy-bounded way — faster onboarding and clearer safety-language readiness.
WHAT YOU LEARN
Each sector track focuses on workplace reality:
• Tools, materials, actions, roles, and safety terms
• Situational dialogues with colleagues, supervisors, and customers
• Safety-critical language early in the path
• Listening practice with workplace-style audio
Optional overlays merge into your primary track, including driving, customer contact, interviewing, and safety-critical vocabulary for high-risk sectors.
LANGUAGES
Learn workplace Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese.
Use the app UI in official EU languages plus Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Arabic, and more common hiring languages.
EXAM PREP
Alongside job paths, practise optional A1 exam prep (practice) for your target language — including Dutch practice modelled on the Basisexamen inburgering format, and English practice modelled on Cambridge A2 Key (formerly KET) with an A1-band pass goal on Workword mocks. Workword is not affiliated with the Dutch government, DUO, or Cambridge Assessment English. Passing a Workword mock is practice only — not an official exam result.
