Emergency English — words that can save a life.
A five-level English curriculum built for the people your organization sends into the world. When a natural disaster, medical crisis, evacuation, or conflict happens abroad, your staff can communicate clearly with police, doctors, embassies, NGOs, and first responders — in English, the working language of international response.
Access is provided by your sponsoring organization. Not comfortable in English? Use the language selector in the top-right corner.
For companies, NGOs, missions, and government teams
Prepare the people you send abroad to speak in an emergency.
Whether you deploy engineers, aid workers, missionaries, contractors, medical staff, journalists, or short-term volunteers, the moments that matter most are rarely on the itinerary. Emergency English gives every traveler a shared, practiced vocabulary for the situations no one plans for — an injury, an evacuation, a border crossing, a call to their embassy.
Tell us how many people you're sending and which levels you need — we'll follow up with pricing.
Built for duty-of-care programs
Complements your travel-safety, medical, and security briefings with the language layer that ties them together. Learners practice the exact words responders expect to hear.

Adult, low-anxiety design
No gamified noise. Clear scenes, real phrases, spoken by a natural voice. Learners can translate anything they don't understand and switch back to English with one click.
