Free Your Words!

Blue Noun English conversation holidays offer the experience of being an English speaker in Scotland.

That’s not the same as ‘practice’ (even lots of practice) inside a language school.

It’s you, being you, in English – right here in Scotland with us.

Stop!

Don’t come to Scotland as an ‘English learner’.

And absolutely don’t go home as an English learner (😱 so many language ‘holidays’ just enforce this!).

You are an English speaker, whatever your level.

You'll make mistakes.

It’s normal! We’ll start to fix them.

Murky on grammar?

We’ll get you clear.

Lacking accuracy?

It’s no problem.
Our coaching will build all this (and more).

Love Your English in Scotland

We’ll share Scotland with you, selecting and curating opportunities for you to be an English speaker, because THAT’s the kind of empowering language development that will be with you wherever you go.

Taste Perthshire’s regional specialities, enjoy wildlife experiences,  meet producers and artists, explore castles and relax within spectacular nature.

And of course, you gain much more than a Scottish holiday.

You’ll be taking home confident English skills and a deep understanding of the cultural identities of contemporary Scotland.

Giving you an unforgettable holiday, hand in hand with memorable English.

Introduction

The Ingredients

Z

English Language Activities

Fill your heart with Scotland, as you learn about the River Tay‘s ecology from a kayak. Or have a Scottish wildlife encounter with conservationists, like Argaty Red Kites.

Don’t just see tourist sights – explore them. Sail under the Forth Rail Bridge. Discover how Outlander has changed Scotland, or how the Whisky Distilleries compete with each other.

The deeper you get into a culture, the more the language belongs to you.

See our Activities Menu.

Holiday Homestay Hosts

Our Homestay hosts are selected for their warmth as much as their lovely home.

Your homestay isn’t just a comfy place to sleep, it’s your invitation to become part of an English-speaking household and exchange culture on a significant level.

More than just a room… meet our wonderful Homestay Hosts.

Connections & Conversations

We take you to visit Perthshire artists, makers, craftspeople and micro-business owners in their workspaces for REAL conversations.

To encounter Scottish makers is to discover Scotland from within.

Speak one professional to another, and be inspired.

Specialist English Coaching

Your language coaching holiday is designed around reaching predetermined language learning targets set and managed by a qualified ETL coach.

Your English will progress, measurably, but knowing (even) more English won’t help you if it still feels wrong.

At Blue Noun, we work hardest on having a great time in English.

Meet the Teaching Team.

Outdoor Perthshire

Discover ‘Big Tree County’ with its rivers, lochs and forests. We partner with outdoor activity companies who share nature and wildlife in non-intrusive ways while giving you the holiday of a lifetime!

      Be an English Speaker

      Being an English speaker doesn’t prevent you from learning, but being an English learner sure can prevent you from speaking!

      Let’s begin by putting the image of you being an ‘English learner’ in the past.

      It’s time to be an English speaker.

      And this means that it’s time for some varied, wonderful, cultural, and professional experiences in which you use English authentically to build friendships, relationships, collaborations and communicate your opinions.

      In other words, it’s time to be you in English.

      (And enjoy it!)
