More time for great teaching. More margin for your language school.
The Langenscheidt Language Coach becomes your school's partner. Teachers gain preparation time thanks to the Worksheet Generator, learners stay on topic between lessons — and you sell a premium add-on with the Langenscheidt brand: cost-neutral, with measurable added value.
Language schools are under pressure. But apps aren't schools.
Learners compare with Duolingo, teachers are scarce, margins are thin, and a mid-sized school can rarely afford its own digital platform. At the same time, learners expect digital support between lessons — and employers who buy corporate courses ask for measurable progress.
But an app alone isn't a language school. Pedagogical quality, teaching expertise, the community experience in class — that's what language schools deliver and apps don't. What's missing is the digital bridge in between.
Exactly this bridge is what the Langenscheidt Language Coach builds. Not as competition to the teacher — but as their tool. Not as a cost factor — but as an additional premium offering of your school.
Learning languages available: German, English and Spanish. For the AI conversation mode, French and Portuguese are also available. More than 10 source languages are supported — typical DaF/DaZ constellations as well as international adult education.
Partner for teaching and business.
Three pillars that make the difference between "language-learning software" and "digital language-school partner".
Worksheet Generator & teacher tools
Teachers define topics and levels, generate worksheets for specific book chapters in minutes, and adjust difficulty for mixed-level groups. Printable or digital. Preparation time per lesson decreases measurably.
Learning outside the classroom
Learners stay on topic between lessons — with AI trainer Elva, on topics the teacher has released, at their own pace. Progress lands in the dashboard, so the teacher sees who is where without extra correction workload.
Premium add-on with the Langenscheidt brand
The Language Coach is offered as an upsell to your school — not folded into existing courses. You set the premium; the Langenscheidt brand helps sell it. At typical course prices, cost-neutral or margin-positive.
The Language Coach in language-school practice.
Three typical situations — from Sunday-evening lesson prep to pricing decisions at management level.
Sunday evening, Chapter 7 tomorrow. The worksheet is ready in five minutes.
A teacher at an evening language school is preparing the next lesson: Chapter 7 of the current coursebook, focus on indirect speech. Two learners at B1+, three at B1-, one with a DaZ background. In the Worksheet Generator she picks lesson and level, adds two of her own keywords, generates a differentiated worksheet — and prints it. Prep time: 12 minutes instead of 90.
What we covered Tuesday should still stick on Thursday.
A learner in an English B2 course practises between lessons with AI trainer Elva — on the topics the teacher has released in Coach: indirect speech, conditional sentences, business email vocabulary. She practises at her own pace, gets direct feedback, progress lands in the dashboard. Preparing the next lesson, the teacher sees which topics still wobble — and can steer specifically.
Learner: "If I had more time, I would visit my family."
Elva: ✓ Correct structure. Vocabulary check: try replacing "visit" with a stronger verb.
More value for your premium package. The margin stays.
A school director offers her English B1 course in two variants: "Standard" at the previous price and "Premium with Langenscheidt Language Coach" at a small premium. License cost per learner sits below the premium — the margin stays with the school. The Langenscheidt brand in the premium package eases sales to learners and corporate clients. After three months, over 60 % of new customers book the premium package.
