If you’re learning to drive in the UK and your first language isn’t English, RED can help you find an instructor who speaks or understands your native language.
Learning to drive can be a difficult process, even in your first language. So, taking driving lessons in a language you’re less familiar with can make it even more daunting.
At RED, we offer driving lessons in multiple languages, making learning to drive as easy as possible for everyone. Learning in your first language can help you gain confidence and pick up the skills you need to pass your test as a safe and responsible driver.
When booking your lessons with RED, you can specify your preferred language. We will try to accommodate your request based on the availability of qualified instructors in your area.
While we may not be able to accommodate every language, we pride ourselves on our diverse range of instructors, so we’ll do our best to pair you with an instructor who can either speak or at least understand your native language.
When booking your lessons, you can request a specific language, and we’ll do our best to match you with an instructor in your area. Some of the languages our instructors speak include:
If your preferred language is not listed above, we may still be able to help you.
Book your foreign language driving lessons with RED
To book a driving lesson in a foreign language or for further information on how we can assist you, please contact us at 0330 332 2680. Our team will be happy to provide details on the available services and guide you through the booking process to get started with your RED driving instructor.
Even though you can learn to drive in a different language, you have to take your theory and practical test in English or Welsh. This is to make sure all drivers understand non-pictorial road signs and essential driving instructions to keep the roads as safe as possible. You can read more about this decision here on the DVSA site.
RED’s instructors provide expert guidance to ensure you feel confident behind the wheel while preparing you for the test in English or Welsh.
You can contact RED’s customer service team or use our online booking system to inquire about instructors who speak your preferred language in your area. We’ll do our best to match you with a suitable instructor.
