Do I Need to be an Artist to Take Your English Language Holiday?
Artists' studios are the perfect context for professional, semi-formal English practice in 'tone'.
These discussions strike a balance between conversational and formal language, making them perfect for learners looking to refine their ability to communicate with clarity and professionalism.
Practice real-world, semi-formal English
Engaging with artists in this context helps learners practice nuanced language, such as expressing interest, asking insightful questions, and sharing opinions with the right level of politeness and professionalism.
Meeting artists to practice English is a rare opportunity to build confidence in using English in settings where tone and approach matter.

Artists are quite familiar with having to present their work to strangers
Generally, artists are good at having conversations on a range of topics and have a curiosity about all kinds of specialisations.
They make relaxed, friendly conversationalists – perfect for practising your English in real, interesting contexts.
You may not be a creative, but if your job involves presenting your work or processes, you can learn and practice a lot of useful professional language – in the most interesting of settings!
Artists have private, quiet workplaces
Visiting artists in their private, quiet workplaces creates a relaxed and immersive environment for English learners to practice conversation.
Unlike most public settings, these spaces allow for focused, meaningful interactions without the distractions of background noise or interruptions.
You can engage in authentic conversations, ask thoughtful questions about the creative process, and listen actively, all in a calm setting that encourages confidence and deeper understanding.
It’s a unique experience that not only enhances language skills but also offers a glimpse into the artist’s world, making the learning process enjoyable and memorable.
In Perthshire, many artist studios are surrounded by gorgeous countryside.
Visiting studios takes you into some of our most wonderful Scottish landscapes.
Many studios are hidden away on private land which you wouldn’t otherwise get to see.
Others convert and repurpose wonderful historic buildings.
Artists are vulnerable
Artists are sharing ideas and creations which are very dear and personal.
When you speak English with them, you’re stepping into a space where sharing and learning go hand in hand—an experience that helps you grow your confidence while building meaningful connections.
This is one of the most important aspects of curating a cultural immersion English holiday as you need to feel good speaking wherever you go.
