News & Support to Help Your English Flow
Not Another Language School Blog
Don’t worry, this blog is not just English language school news.
Artist & educator, Ruth Pringle brings Scotland – and English learning – right to you in powerful, interesting ways.
So, why not make a cup of something lovely and pop over (virtually) to Scotland for a unique cultural immersion into our landscapes, culture, art, and ideas – the Blue Noun way!
English learners, you’ll also find free English lessons and practice questions.
There are some whole ELT class plans in there too!
Enjoy!
