Bristol in the snow ❄️ Scroll for our resident snowman! ⛄️
Yesterday we woke up to a winter wonderland 🤍
This beautiful snowy shot of the Clifton Suspension Bridge was taken by the talented @lottiecrippsvideo and the selfie was taken by our own John Duncan! 📷
We’re not sure who is more excited for the snow, our students, or John!

Music is the universal language...it brings people closer together 💙 (Ella Fitzgerald)
.
We wanted to bring you closer to us by sharing a special ELC Bristol ‘behind the scenes’ moment from last month ✨
.
The talented Celine (from Switzerland 🇨🇭) and Otto (from the Netherlands 🇳🇱) both happen to be skilled linguists and musicians!
.
They both recently took their Cambridge Proficiency exam and sounds like they’d ace their music exams too!
.
It’s never been a better time to take up a new hobby like music 🎵
.
Why not learn to play the piano like our students, or simply start by singing a song? (Try singing one with English lyrics, so you can practice your pronunciation at the same time) 😉
.
We hope this post makes you feel close to us and inspires you too ♥️

What a week!
.
Monday - First day of our new term and 50 students arrive at ELC Bristol and start classes.
.
Tuesday - The UK government announces the lockdown and we are to told to teach online.
.
Wednesday - We still have 40 students studying full-time online in 5 classes with their normal teachers and classmates. Some of our students are in homestays, others in their own accommodation and some students are in a ‘bubble’ in St John’s where there is a wonderful, friendly, international atmosphere!
.
Thursday - Online classes are going well and our students are making excellent progress!
.
Friday - Our teachers are getting top reviews from students and have been making sure everything goes smoothly. Some might say we have the best teachers in the world!
.
The future - We will wait until mid February when we hope to be able to resume face-to-face teaching, but until then our fantastic teachers will continue to bring the best experience possible online to our awesome students.
.
Our message to you: Together we are stronger - we will all get through this, and are grateful for the support of our ELC Bristol family around the world - thank you! 💙
