Lingo Language Learning

Today, 10th June, we aren’t just celebrating a piece of land on the map — we are celebrating an incredible global community. From the historic streets of Lisbon and Porto to Portuguese communities buzzing in every corner of the globe, today is all about national pride. ❤️💚

Why today? It’s the anniversary of the passing of our legendary epic poet, Luís de Camões, author of Os Lusíadas. His brilliant words captured the soul, history, and fierce spirit of the Portuguese people. ✍️📚

Whether you are hitting the streets for the massive parades, enjoying local cultural events, or simply gathering with family to dig into some brilliant food, let’s wave the Bandeira de Portugal with pride.

To the global diaspora keeping our rich culture, language, and traditions alive every single day: Feliz Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas! 🎉🍲🎶
How are you celebrating today?

In our Spring Term 2026, we are proud to host the Muslim Women’s project every Monday from 11 AM to 1 PM. 🧕

Building English proficiency creates a massive ripple effect of positivity:

🦋 Community Leadership: When Muslim women master English, they become powerful advocates for their families and brilliant contributors to the local culture.

🦋 Confidence in Every Setting: From school gates to GP appointments, language skills give women the "gift of the gab" to navigate daily life without needing a translator.

🦋 Career Aspirations: It breaks down barriers to employment, allowing talented women to bring their unique skills into the workforce.

🦋 Educational Support: It empowers mums to help their children with homework and engage fully with their education.

Our Muslim Women’s project offers a supportive, welcoming space to learn and grow together. Whether you're a total beginner or just want to polish your skills, come and join the conversation!

Let’s keep Jersey’s evolving community vibrant and inclusive! 🇯🇪✨

📢 BIG CHANGES: New English Levels for UK & Jersey Immigration 🇬🇧🇯🇪
If you’re planning to call the UK or Jersey home, it’s time to pull your socks up! As of March 2026, the Home Office has raised the bar for English fluency. Don’t get caught out by the new rules—here is the "need-to-know" for every ESOL student:

1️⃣ Permanent Settlement (ILR) 🏡
The biggest shift! To settle for good, the requirement has jumped from B1 to CEFR B2 (Upper-Intermediate). Think of it as moving from GCSE level to A-Level.
You'll need to master all four skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening.

2️⃣ Working Visas 💼
Starting a new job? Skilled Worker and Scale-up visas now also require B2 proficiency. If you’re already here on a work visa, check the "grace period" rules before you apply for your next extension!

3️⃣ Family & Partner Visas 💍
The "Step-Up" rule is still in play here: A1 for your first application, A2 for your extension (after 2.5 years), and B2 when you finally apply for settlement.

4️⃣ British Citizenship 👑
To get that blue passport, you’ll need B1 or B2 (Speaking and Listening)
Plus the "Life in the UK" test. In Jersey?

Make sure you study the local supplement too with this special course!
Contact us to know more about your learning needs.

Every Wednesday at 10 am, our A1 ESOL group meets to help multilingual locals find their feet with the English language. 🇬🇧

If you're based in Jersey and fancy improving your English in a friendly setting, come and join us for a free assessment at 10 St. James St, St. Helier, right next to the church. 🦋
