Culture-Led English Learning
Blue Noun Language Hub is an alternative language school.
Not only is it designed by an artist, but we often partner with our local creative community to deliver authentic English learning experiences.
Do You Need to be Good at Art to Enjoy Our English Language Holidays?
Not at all, but you need an open mind and an interest in all sorts of cultures.
While a small number of our guests are Art and Design Professionals most of our English language holiday takers are not artists but open-minded professionals seeking a more enjoyable way to improve in English.
Our last 2024 client worked for the German Finance Ministry!
Blue Noun’s particular kind of creativity makes English learning fun, manageable, attractive and rewarding.
An Artist English Teacher Brings Quality Culture into the Classroom
Sample English Class Around Creative Topics?
“The Lego Lost At Sea Facebook page was created by British writer and beachcomber Tracey Williams, who first started to discover pieces of sea themed Lego on beaches around her family home in South Devon, England in the late 1990s. She now lives in Cornwall, England where the shipwrecked Lego still washes up daily.”

Target Language
- present the 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗮 project (past and present).
- feel more confident in saying large numbers,
- discuss this style of messaging, purpose and ‘citizen science,’
- offer opinions on how it compares to ‘high art,’
- suggest where it could be exhibited next (making suggestions).
“In 1997, nearly five million bits of Lego fell into the sea when a huge wave hit the container ship Tokio Express, washing 62 containers overboard.”

Artists Have Empathy
This is something you need from any kind of coach. Language learning has ups and downs, and frustrations.
An empathetic coach can navigate you around the hurdles and know when to push you and when it is time to rest.
Artists Have Good Stories
Artist studios are brilliant environments for language learning as they are exciting, tactile and visual.
Additionally, they are somewhat strange and odd, filled with unfamiliar tools and objects.
Our holidays offer 1000 micro-moments of you being you, in English.
Placing you in a safe but unfamiliar environment is a wonderful way to bypass language insecurity and get you talking.
