🎨 Learn the Language of Creativity in Edinburgh
At ECS Scotland, we believe that learning English can be more than textbooks and grammar rules — it can be inspiring, hands-on and connected to the beautiful world around us.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our English with sketching, drawing and painting course:
A unique way to improve your English while exploring the art of drawing and observation. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who loves to sketch in your spare time, this course is designed to combine language learning with creative expression, right in the heart of Edinburgh — a city known for its stunning architecture, dramatic landscapes and rich artistic heritage.
🖍️ What is English with sketching, drawing or painting?
This course blends practical English lessons in the classroom with guided sketching sessions outdoors. You’ll learn useful English vocabulary and phrases connected to art, creativity and daily life — then put that language into practice while sketching real scenes around the city.
Each day includes:
✅ Small group English lessons focused on communication
✅ Guided sketching time with tips on observation, line and shape
✅ A relaxed, friendly environment to build confidence
✅ Creative opportunities to practise English in context
No art experience required — just a curious eye and an open mind!
🎨 Why Combine English and Art?
Creative activities like sketching help you slow down, observe carefully and engage with your environment — all excellent skills for language learners. Drawing also gives you a new way to connect with your surroundings, describe what you see and reflect on your experience in English.
It’s a relaxing and inspiring way to:
🖌️ Practise listening and speaking skills naturally
📚 Expand your vocabulary through observation
✏️ Boost your creativity while staying focused and calm
Plus, you’ll go home with your own sketchbook full of memories — a visual journal of your time in Edinburgh.
📍 Explore Edinburgh, One Sketch at a Time
From the cobbled streets of the Old Town to the peaceful greenery of the Meadows, Edinburgh is full of inspiring places to draw and discover. Our course makes the most of this beautiful city — taking you outdoors (weather permitting!) to sketch historic buildings, landscapes and daily life while chatting in English.
It’s more than just a course — it’s an experience.
