☀️ Monday morning calm from ECS Scotland

“Essendo una piccola scuola a conduzione familiare, l’atmosfera è amichevole e gli studenti vengono fatti sentire davvero benvenuti.”

“As a small, family-run school, the atmosphere is friendly and students are truly made to feel welcome.”

That feeling of being at ease, supported and heard — it matters more than grammar rules.

💬 Ready to feel this welcome? Send us a message to start your learning journey.

📌 This week’s idea: write 3 short emails in English — one to a friend, one to a colleague, and one to your future self.

✏️ What would you sketch first?

This week, we’re sharing 5 real places in and around Edinburgh to slow down, look closely and let your pencil (or paintbrush) wander…

🏙️ A city skyline at dusk
🌊 The movement of water on a windy day
🌿 Honeysuckle climbing an old post
🪨 Castle Rock — bold, dramatic, ancient
🌇 A view from a window at sunset, glowing golden

You don’t need to be “good at art.”
Just curious — and open to the moment.

📍Our English with Sketching course blends language learning with mindful creativity in real Edinburgh locations.
