Talk of the ‘Wee Town’
For you, not for us
Not All Newsletter Emails Suck
95% do of course.
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…’
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.
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…
It took a while to work out what you would WANT to read:
The Inspiration
Real Connections
I have a WhatsApp account full of previous students asking for news about the people they met on their holiday.
Real Places
Students saying, ‘Crieff feels like home now’ as we driving into town (after just 1 week!)
Genuine Enthusiam for Sharing
Resources! Every time I find a great podcast, article, TV show, I wonder who I can share it with.
Belief in Community
Networks sharing art, ideas and alternative, peaceful ways of living, learning and being.
Conversations pass on information that can change lives.
