With September comes the excitement of starting new projects, returning to good routines, and setting…
In November, strengthen your routine, discover new traditions and put your English to the test!
Autumn has well and truly arrived: the days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and there’s nothing better than enjoying a warm drink while going over your notes. November is the month of consistency par excellence. With the foundations of the course now in place, it’s the perfect time to build strong study habits, gain confidence in classroom conversations and work towards your language goals, step by step.
In our classrooms in Granollers, things are still in full swing! Here’s everything we’re working on this month, along with the latest news you won’t want to miss!
🎯 Final stretch for Cambridge exams: polishing the last details
For students aiming to sit the official Cambridge English winter exam sessions, the countdown has officially begun! Over the coming weeks, we’ll be stepping up our practice with Mock Exams (realistic exam simulations). This preparation is essential for managing the time allocated to each paper (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and keeping nerves under control on exam day.
Remember, at ELI we’re here to help you choose the format that best suits you: the traditional paper-based version or the convenience and speed of the digital format.
🦃 Culture and traditions: beyond the movies
Learning a language also means immersing yourself in the culture of English-speaking countries. You’ve probably seen Thanksgiving celebrated in countless American TV shows and films, but do you really know how it’s celebrated?
This year, the celebration takes place on Thursday, 26 November (it always falls on the fourth Thursday of the month). Beyond the traditional family feast featuring roast turkey and pumpkin pie, the heart of this celebration is the moment when everyone shares what they’re grateful for by answering the question: “What are you thankful for?” We’ll make the most of this occasion in class to learn authentic vocabulary and practise spontaneous conversation.
📱On Social Media: Teen Slang and the New “Guess the Celeb!” Game
If you’re not following us on Instagram (@eligrup) yet, you’re missing out on loads of useful content! This month, we’ve been exploring the latest English expressions and slang used by young people, such as to ship, have a crush on, rizz and delulu.
What’s more, we’ve just launched a brand-new interactive feature: Guess the Celeb! Put your knowledge to the test with three difficulty levels (Expert Mode, Intermediate and Everyone Knows) and see if you can guess which celebrity is hiding behind the clues. Visit our profile and leave your answer in the comments!
🌍 German and Italian: broaden your horizons
Although English is our main focus, at ELI we also share a passion for other major European languages. Whether you want to boost your professional profile in the Central European market by learning German or immerse yourself in the cultural richness and musicality of Italian, we offer small groups and experienced teachers ready to guide you from the very first level.
💡Take the next step this November
It’s never too late to get started. If you couldn’t join us at the beginning of the course or want to make progress before the end of the year, we still have a few places available in selected groups.
How can you get started?
Come and meet us: Visit our school in Granollers or get in touch by phone or email. We’ll be happy to guide you and offer you a free, no-obligation level test.
