German & English for Logistics, Transport & Fleet. Tailored to your business.
The Langenscheidt Language Coach brings international drivers and warehouse professionals to the level of German that the workday demands — with AI-powered, hands-on language training. Proven Langenscheidt didactics. Transparent progress. Built for shift work.
Drivers hired. Now what?
International drivers and warehouse staff bring practical experience and a strong work ethic — but daily work in Germany demands more than basic language skills. Tour briefings, loading, radio contact, customer deliveries, customs and police checks: every linguistic friction costs time, nerves — and, in the worst case, safety.
Traditional in-person courses are hard to combine with long-distance haulage and shift work. Generic language apps don't know the vocabulary of freight forwarding and warehousing. And without reliable progress data, preparing for B1/B2 certifications and BKrFQG modules becomes a leap in the dark.
Available learning languages: German, English, and Spanish. Available source languages: more than 10 different languages.
Language training built for the logistics workday.
Three pillars that make the difference between "app German" and "confident on the job".
Training in real situations
Learners practice tour briefings, dealings with authorities, customer deliveries, and the BKrFQG exam — in live dialogue with our AI trainer Elva or in structured exercises.
Available 24/7, even on long-haul routes
No class schedule, no commute. Unlimited practice, automatic feedback — exactly when the shift or rest break allows. Lessons run on a smartphone, mobile data is enough, and progress is automatically caught up when reception fluctuates.
Transparent up to management
HR, fleet management, and dispatch see progress per person, per tour type, and per level. Reports exportable as CSV — for internal evaluation, BKrFQG records, or funding bodies.
The Language Coach in practice.
Three typical situations from logistics daily life — and how the training prepares for them.
The briefing takes three minutes. Every word has to be right.
A driver from Wrocław practices the structured tour briefing with Elva, the Language Coach's digital assistant: cargo, time window, unloading point, customer contact, special instructions. The system corrects pronunciation, adds the right technical vocabulary (load carriers, securing equipment, time windows), and keeps the progress on record. After three weeks, the depot briefing runs exactly the way dispatch expects.
Learner: "Four pallets of general cargo, 2.3 tonnes, secured with two straps and anti-slip mats. Unloading at Darmstadt, time window 9:00 to 10:00."
Elva: ✓ Clear. One addition: name the customer contact so dispatch doesn't have to ask.
At the rest stop, it's not coffee waiting — it's the police.
Police checks, weighing, customs clearance — linguistically demanding situations that happen in seconds of stress. The Language Coach trains typical role-plays: handing over papers, explaining cargo, presenting the tachograph, discussing fines. The driver gains confidence, the company faces less risk of escalation.
Learner: "Of course. Here is the waybill. Cargo: 12 pallets of consumer goods. Origin Mannheim, destination Hamburg, recipient as listed at the bottom left."
Six weeks until the next module exam.
The Language Coach creates an individual learning path along the CEFR levels A1–B2, focused on the language components of the BKrFQG modules 1 and 5. Reading, listening, speaking, grammar — every skill is trained, progress is measured and made visible for HR and fleet management.
One product, three perspectives.
The Langenscheidt Language Coach covers every role that works together in logistics — from the C-suite to the cab and the warehouse aisle.
Your benefit: Transparency over the fleet's language level, clean documentation for audits and funding bodies, predictable rollouts across multiple sites.
Your benefit: Fewer queries during operations, targeted assignment of tours and shifts by language level, less friction at the loading dock.
Your benefit: Confident in tour briefings, with authorities, and during the BKrFQG exam — training at your own pace, in the cab, on the bus, or during breaks.
How the pilot works — in three steps.
From the first conversation to the joint review: predictable, transparent, no risk.

Can we integrate our own materials — e.g. service instructions or warehouse SOPs?
