Not All Language School Newsletters Suck

Of course, 95% do.

But the 5%! The newsletter that when you see them in your inbox, you know to clear a quiet 5 minutes to digest their content… get inspired/feel good.

Language school newsletters can be a bit… meh.

No one wants generic, how-to-learn-English tips in their inbox. (Everyone has different levels/learning needs).

Or worse, those manipulative ones: ‘how bad does  your accent make you feel…’

Not to mention the nationalistic language schools in the UK that believe English belongs to them…

Naaaah. Click unsubscribe and feel instantly lighter.

At Blue Noun, we have REAL news to share.

(And perhaps some illustrations too).

At Blue Noun Language Hub, we do newsletters differently.

Here’s how.

English Learning – Differently!

It’s a celebration of all things good and beautiful – and it’s free. 

Introducing Talk of the Wee Town

Wee Town Talk is a bi-monthly newsletter sharing the kinds of local happenings that capture people’s English learning interests.

Its format mimics the New Yorker’s Talk of the Town: short, impartial, bite-sized updates that give a flavour of the town. 

I’ll be honest, I was sending DULL emails, then spending my free time messaging previous students the photo of a beaver I took last night, or updating them on my friend’s album launch event – or just sharing a great podcast.

It took a while for the penny to drop.

 To work out what you would WANT to read.

What other UK language school values what YOU have to say?

 

“Once you’ve experienced a Blue Noun Holiday, you are so much part of our community, our town begins to feel at home.

The Wee Town Talk emails nurture your connection to Crieff, Perthshire, and Scotland.

Enjoy it with a cuppa, a glass of something cool and fizzy – or a slice of your favourite cheese. 

And if you are a new subscriber here, I hope it helps you feel welcome too!“.
