Support the site
Everything here is free and stays free: the tests, the recordings, the safety modules. There are no ads and nothing tracks you. The site is built by one person after hours, and the bills (hosting, the voices you hear in the recordings) are paid from his pocket.
☕ Buy me a coffee Opens buymeacoffee.com/seamanenglish in a new tab. From 3 USD, or the equivalent in your currency; card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
If it helped you get a contract
A coffee is enough. It goes on the next batch of recordings and on keeping the lights on. No accounts, no subscriptions, and you get nothing extra for it except the knowledge that the next seafarer will find the same free page you did.
Payments are handled by a third-party platform on its own terms and privacy policy; SeamanEnglish never sees your card details. Supporters who want their first name listed below can say so in the message field there.
Three other ways to help, all free
- Leave a line after a test. Every test ends with a small box: what helped, what was missing. Read by a human, published only with your consent, first name only.
- Tell a colleague. A crewing office, a cadet, the AB in the next cabin. Word of mouth is how this site is meant to grow; there is no advertising budget.
- Report a mistake. A wrong figure, a broken recording, a rule quoted badly: write to us and it gets fixed, with thanks.
