Hello English language learners and friends of Blue Noun Language Hub in Crieff, Scotland. Today we’re going to talk about when our English language school created a professional English immersion experience by matching our fashion model language learner with local press.

Professional English Immersion Experience | Networking
GrowBiz are a non-profit team of business advisers who bring skills, training and advice to any local business which requests it.
One of their specific challenges is to link together independent businesses within Perth and Kinross, helping them best form alliances with each other to help overcome the challenges of operating in rural areas and/or in isolation.

Professional English Immersion Experience | The Perthshire Magazine
We also directly emailed The Perthshire Magazine with our advert. They were a natural first choice due to their stunning photography and local features.
They quickly let us know that they had recently been contacted by a freelance photographer, Hayley Smith, and would Annalisa and Hayley like to collaborate on a project?
Hayley and Annalisa arranged to meet for a photoshoot at Crieff’s stunning Knock– the wooded hill which rises sharply behind Crieff and provides splendid and extensive views across Crieff and Strathearn.

More on Knock Hill, Crieff
At Blue Noun we love chatting about all things art and celebrate having excellent, talented people all around us to do it with. We facilitate real cultural and creative exchanges happening, whether it’s in our language learning space – the Blue Noun Hub – or out and about visiting studios and workshops.
We also love showing off the beauty of Perthshire and the food and craft produce that is making it world-famous. Our whisky tastings are legendary!
Our business is also intended to be of benefit to the artist/maker economy of Perthshire. We bring our international creative guests into studios for a genuine exchange of cultures and art-making. Yes it’s an English lesson, but it is so much more! (Plus we pay all our artists and guest speakers for their time)
Come and join us for an English language learning holiday and grab a taste of Perthshire!
We hope you’ve enjoyed us sharing our English language learner Annalisa’s bespoke professional English immersion experience. It’s what we do! We match our Engish language learners with professionals to speak to, collaborate with and exchange ideas with. Like this style of English language learning? You might enjoy reading about

It was a treat being out with two professionals on a photoshoot – seeing Analisa moving and posing according to Hayley’s instructions made me think about how I am in front of a camera.

English Language Tip
If someone asks you how you feel about something, it’s to illicit your opinion. You don’t use the words ‘feel about’ in the answer’, you just jump straight into giving your views or feelings.
As usual, if you want us to correct any sentences, just write CP (correct please at the end of your comment).
