The Culture of Coffee
Are you looking for an English language school with good coffee?
When I was working in an English language school in Paris, the company upgraded the coffee machine and for the first time, we were able to offer our clients a decent cup of coffee to enjoy with their language course.
My time with INLINGUA ÎLE DE FRANCE gave me training in teaching English grammar.
It also taught me that for many European clients, offering good coffee is critical.
Read this blog to find out how we got good coffee into our language hub.
Working as a barista in the UK?
There’s a FREE English Language worksheet for Barista Workers.
Forgive Me, I’m a Tea drinker
I do enjoy a coffee, but I’m not hooked.
Even though I don’t suffer if I can’t find a good coffee, at Blue Noun Language Hub, we want our language guests to have access to beverages they need for comfort – including a right good cup of coffee (-and with a selection of biscuits and cakes to go with it!)
We have teas and herbal teas for those that prefer.
Cafe Culture | Language Learning Talking Tables / Language Cafes
Blue Noun Language Hub is a former church, which was a cafe before it we turned it into the gorgeous English language school it now is.
We chose our building for its cafe-like feel. We don’t want our language learners to feel as if they are in a classroom. Cafes are where people CHOOSE to spend time and conversations flow.
Sitting in an English class should feel good – and if luxury coffee is what is needed, so be it.
We take this from the ‘Talking Tables‘ or ‘Language Cafe’ method of language learning that we blend into our English immersion holiday course.
A Lesson in Coffee
Last Wednesday we were delighted to welcome back Roy and Lorraine, former owners of our building (when it was the much loved Blue Flax Tearoom).
They took time to explain the wonders of our fabulous coffee machine to us – and taught us how to make a killer latte!
How to Find an English Language School with Good Coffee
The answer for us is that we created it ourselves.

English Language for Barista Work
We know that many international people find work as baristas in coffee shops.
We’ve put together a FREE English Language Resource for Barista Workers. It’s full of the coffee making tips that we learned from Roy and Lorraine, plus a selection of phrasal verbs you might hear in this context.
